What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An undergarment, comprising:
 a first portion arranged to contact a rear side of a person, said first portion comprising:
 a first top edge; 
 a first bottom edge separated from said first top edge by a first length; 
 a first lateral edge; and, 
 a second lateral edge; 
   a second portion arranged to contact a front side of the person, said second portion comprising:
 a third lateral edge secured to said first lateral edge of said first portion; 
 a fourth lateral edge releasably securable to said second lateral edge of said first portion via a first attachment means; 
 a second top edge; 
 a second bottom edge releasably securable to said first bottom edge via a second attachment means, said second bottom edge separated from said second top edge by a second length where said second length is longer than said first length and said first length is at least half of said second length. 
   
     
     
         2 . The undergarment of  claim 1 , wherein said first attachment means releasably secures said second lateral edge of said front portion to said fourth lateral edge of said rear portion such that said second lateral edge of said front portion overlaps said fourth lateral edge of said rear portion. 
     
     
         3 . The undergarment of  claim 1 , wherein said second attachment means releasably secures said first bottom edge of said front portion to said second bottom edge of said rear portion such that said first bottom edge of said front portion overlaps said second bottom edge of said rear portion. 
     
     
         4 . The undergarment of  claim 1 , wherein said front portion has a first inner surface and a first outer surface, said rear portion has a second inner surface and a second outer surface, and said first attachment means releasably secures said first inner surface of said front portion to said second outer surface of said rear portion, 
     
     
         5 . The undergarment of  claim 1 , wherein said front portion has a first inner surface and a first outer surface, said rear portion has a second inner surface and a second outer surface, and said second attachment means releasably secures said first inner surface of said front portion to said second outer surface of said rear portion. 
     
     
         6 . The undergarment of  claim 1 , wherein said first length is approximately three quarters of said second length. 
     
     
         7 . The undergarment of  claim 1 , wherein said first length is approximately eighty-seven percent of said second length. 
     
     
         8 . The undergarment of  claim 1 , wherein said first lateral edge of said front portion is integrally formed with said third lateral edge of said rear portion. 
     
     
         9 . The undergarment of  claim 1 , wherein said front portion is T-shaped including a horizontal waist portion configured perpendicularly to a vertical crotch portion. 
     
     
         10 . The undergarment of  claim 1 , wherein said rear portion includes a first tapered edge between said third edge of said rear portion and said bottom edge of said rear portion, and a second tapered edge between said fourth edge of said rear portion and said bottom edge of said rear portion. 
     
     
         11 . The undergarment of  claim 1 , wherein said third lateral edge of said rear portion is fixedly secured to said first lateral edge of said front portion. 
     
     
         12 . The undergarment of  claim 1 , wherein said third lateral edge of said rear portion is releasably secured to said first lateral edge of said front portion. 
     
     
         13 . A method of assembling an undergarment, comprising the steps of:
 fixedly securing a first lateral edge of a front portion to a second lateral edge of a rear portion, wherein said front portion has a first top edge and a first bottom edge separated by a first length, and said rear portion has a second top edge and a second bottom edge separated by a second length shorter than said first length, said second length being at least half of said first length;   releasably securing a third lateral edge of said front portion to a fourth lateral edge of said rear portion via a first attachment means; and,   releasably securing said first bottom edge of said front portion to said second bottom edge of said rear portion via a second attachment means.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein releasably securing said third and fourth lateral edges via said first attachment means is executed by overlapping said third lateral edge of said front portion over said fourth lateral edge of said rear portion. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein releasably securing said first and second bottom edges via said second attachment means is executed by overlapping said first bottom edge of said front portion over said second bottom edge of said rear portion. 
     
     
         16 . A method for removing an undergarment having a front portion with a first top edge and a first bottom edge separated by a first length, a rear portion with a second top edge and a second bottom edge separated by a second length shorter than said first length where said second length is at least half of said first length, the method comprising:
 releasing a first attachment means by pulling in a first direction composed of a first set of directional components, said first attachment means releasably securing said first bottom edge of said front portion to said second bottom edge of said rear portion; and, releasing a second attachment means by pulling in a second direction composed of a second set of directional components, wherein each directional component of said second set is no more than |±90|° from each of said components in said first set of directional components, said second attachment means releasably securing a first lateral edge of said front portion to a second lateral edge of said rear portion.
