ABSTRACT:
Underwear having a midriff encircling portion, which is bounded at the time with an elastic waistband. At the crotch area, the midriff portion is divided into a left leg member and a right leg member. A vertically-extending central axis is defined between the crotch area and the waistband, in alignment with the user's umbilicus (belly button). The front portion of the underwear contains a flap opening which is offset from the central axis. A vertical guide line extends along the central axis to aid the user in properly maintaining the offset positioning of the flap opening. The front portion of the underwear may also have a multi-layer panel to absorb post-urination drainage.
