Claim 1

A garment to be worn by incontinent, sedentary, persons comprising: a cloth front sheet having a length for extending at least from a person's waist to substantially below the person's knees and having a width for extending substantially about the waist of the person, but not extending completely about the person's waist so as to leave a substantial gap between side edges thereof when the front sheet is wrapped about the person's body; a fastening means attached to the top end of said front sheet for fastening the top end of said front sheet at or above the waist of said person and allowing said front sheet to drape downwardly from the person's waist to easily cover the fronts of the abdominal region, the thighs, and the knees of the person; and, a cloth back sheet attached to the backside, at the bottom end, of said front sheet along three attachment lines running approximately parallel with the length of said front sheet, two of said lines being side attachment lines located at opposite side edges of the front and back-sheets where said respective front sheet side edges are attached to the corresponding backsheet side edges, and the third attachment line being an intermediate attachment line located between the side attachment lines, thereby forming two wide, loose side-by-side leg sleeves each for allowing a foot and a leg of said person to easily pass therethrough and thereby holding said front sheet on the front of said person's abdominal area and legs to prevent these portions of the body from being exposed, but yet allowing the person leg movement within the garment, and leaving said gap opening for allowing passage for body waste from said person without soiling said garment.
