Abstract

Elastic pants or briefs for holding a disposable diaper in place, provided in both the front and back piece with elastic threads which define a central portion tapering towards the crotch of the pants, and/or with a central area extending up from the crotch portion, which is more loosely crocheted or knitted than the rest of the pants, thereby achieving effective tightening of the underlying disposable diaper against the body of the user.
