Sanitary menses panty

A repeatably washable undergarment having a waist opening and leg openings comprising a highly elastic fiber outer covering, a front support panel of substantially less elasticity than the elastic fiber outer covering and attached to the elastic fiber outer covering, said front support panel extending generally from above the leg openings and below the waist opening across the front of the undergarment, and a microporous polyurethane film inner layer less than about 0.002 inches in thickness contiguous to the outer covering extending at least through the crotch and seat area of the undergarment,

• said film being liquid impermeable and vapor premeable, soft, non-fibrous and smooth with an elasticity substantially equal to or in excess of the elasticity of the fiber outer covering, and
• said film inner layer being stitched about the periphery thereof to the fiber outer covering to provide a permanent attachment,
• whereby the stitching, outer layer and inner layer are substantially unaffected by body fluids, water, permanent staining and heat thereby providing a repeatable washable and reuseable undergarment.
