Abstract

An underwear garment comprising multiple panels but forming a single garment is described. The panels are formed to allow a person to put on the garment without having to balance, bend, stretch, or otherwise have to maneuver a garment over the feet and up the legs. A primary panel forms a back for the garment and has a first flap and a second flap that are connected via a connection mechanism to form a partial front of the garment. The primary panel is connected to a front panel to form a crotch of the garment. The front panel connects to the primary panel via a connection mechanism, which upon connecting, the front panel forms the front for the garment and a portion of the front panel and a portion of the primary panel overlap.
