Abstract
A unitary jumpsuit that facilitates lavatory access using a two-way tail-to-tail zipper in the front that subdivides the upper torso section and extends down below the waist to the crotch area, and a lapped two-way head-to-head zipper in the rear that extends along a seam from below the knees upward along each leg, upward and converging above the buttocks below the waist. The rear zipper releases a drop-panel. A wearer can fully open and/or close the drop-panel in one easy motion by zipping/unzipping each side of the rear double-pull zipper, using both hands to simultaneously pull both zipper-pulls across the waist and down each leg. The wider deeper drop-panel allows easier lavatory access for men and women and provides more comprehensive access for feminine sanitary needs.
