Systems and Methods for Isolating Distinct Anatomical Parts Without Support

Abstract

An undergarment fit closely about the gluteus and thighs, minimizes undergarment contact with the genitals, allows for normal range of motion of the dartos muscles of the scrotum, decreases contact between opposing body parts, provides modesty and provides protection for genitalia from outerwear, promotes testicular and genital health, and protects from electromagnetic radiation.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A garment, comprising:
 A circumferential elastic waistband;   A continuous covering of the gluteus and circumferential covering of each thigh; and   An opening feature permitting genitalia to hang unsupported;   Wherein said garment separates anatomical regions of the pelvis and upper thighs.   
     
     
         2 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein said opening feature is triangular in shape. 
     
     
         3 . The garment of  claim 2 , wherein said triangular opening feature comprises an apex and an opposing base segment, and is oriented such that said apex is located near the point where the base of the scrotum meets the perineum, and said opposing base segment is located above the genitals. 
     
     
         4 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein said opening feature follows the intertriginous folds of the upper thighs and pubis. 
     
     
         5 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein said garment is an undergarment. 
     
     
         6 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein said garment is used as outerwear. 
     
     
         7 . The garment of  claim 1 , further comprising a means for affixing an athletic cup permitting affixing and removing said cup while said garment is being worn. 
     
     
         8 . The garment of  claim 1 , comprising an anterior face, a first side, and a contralateral side, wherein:
 an Inner Flap is affixed to or extends along said anterior face of said garment along a line from the level of the anterior superior iliac spine on said first side to the ipsilateral side of said opening, and is affixed to or extends to the inseam of the contralateral leg;   an Outer Flap is affixed to or extends along said anterior face of said garment along said waistband from the junction of said waistband and the lateral leg seam on the first side to the junction of the contralateral leg seam, the entire contralateral leg seam, the anterior distal aspect of the thigh material, and the lower border of said Inner Flap.   
     
     
         9 . The garment of  claim 1 , further comprising a means for reducing movement of said garment during wear. 
     
     
         10 . The garment of  claim 9 , wherein said means comprises relaxing incisions in the fabric of said garment. 
     
     
         11 . The garment of  claim 9 , wherein said means comprises non-slip material affixed to or within the garment. 
     
     
         12 . The garment of  claim 1 , further comprising a means for attenuating electromagnetic radiation incident upon said garment. 
     
     
         13 . The garment of  claim 12 , wherein said means comprises an electrically conductive fabric. 
     
     
         14 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein said garment covers the thighs and gluteus, provides privacy for female genitalia while compartmentalizing thigh from thigh, genitalia from bilateral thighs, and genitalia from outwear for women. 
     
     
         15 . The garment of  claim 14 , wherein said garment is used as outerwear. 
     
     
         16 . A method of reducing chafing and promoting testicular and genital health and fertility, comprising the steps of:
 Supplying an undergarment comprising an anterior opening through which genitalia may extend;
 Affixing flaps of fabric to said undergarment, wherein:
 an Inner Flap is affixed to or extends along said anterior face of said garment along a line from the level of the anterior superior iliac spine on said first side to the ipsilateral side of said opening, and is affixed to or extends to the inseam of the contralateral leg; 
 an Outer Flap is affixed to or extends along said anterior face of said garment along said waistband from the junction of said waistband and the lateral leg seam on the first side to the junction of the contralateral leg seam, the entire contralateral leg seam, the anterior distal aspect of the thigh material, and the lower border of said Inner Flap.
