Abstract

The clothing shield is intended to protect clothing against body stains, such as underarm stains, and generally comprises a liquid-pervious bodyside liner, a liquid-impervious outer cover, and an absorbent medium between the liner and outer cover. The exposed side of the outer cover has a masking surface thereon that visually masks the clothing shield through the article of clothing. A method is also provided for making the shield.
