Abstract
A training panty (10) includes a pair of pants (12) having a front panel (14) and a rear panel (16) integrally joined together at a crotch (18). Releasable contact fastening members (30, 38) are positioned on opposing surfaces of front panel (14) and rear panel (16), respectively along the lateral edges thereof so that front panel (14) and rear panel (16) can be releasably secured together to define a waistband (20) and a pair of identical leg openings (22). In an alternative embodiment, front panel (14) is substantially smaller than rear panel (16) and is constructed to overlay the front midsection only of the body of the child wearer. In that embodiment, rear panel (16) is constructed to partially encircle the child's body and to be releasably secured to front panel (14) at a location proximate the front midsection of the child's body.
