These pants of prior art are formed at the top with a waist-opening and at the bottom with a pair of leg-openings. The bonding line formed in the crotch region to describe the curve convex toward the waist line enables an actual width of the crotch region to be enlarged and thereby provides a sufficient area adapted to cover the inner sides of wearer's thighs.
The pants disclosed in these Publication comprise the front and rear waist regions of which the sheet surfaces put flat together and the interior of the pants should be expanded to form a space adapted to enclose the wearer's belly, hip and thighs.
