Abstract
Modesty-preserving bottoms as swimwear or active wear are provided. In particular, such bottoms comprise a modesty panel immovably disposed along an inside of a crotch portion of the bottoms to smooth fabric over a wearer's genial area in order to prevent the particular shape, size, and appearance of the wearer's genitalia from being discerned through such fabric. The modesty panel may be concave, to approximate the overall shape of the wearer's genitalia, and comprise shape-retentive, molded padding such as polyfoam. Additional layers, linings, and materials may be provided on an inside of the bottoms over the modesty panel to increase air flow and wick moisture from the wearer's body as needed or desired.
