Abstract
Body suits and underpants in which a seat flap at the crotch is readily opened or closed by means of a self-gripping fastener. A particular feature is that the seat flap may be fastened to the rear panel when open. One embodiment, which includes self-gripping fasteners on the side, as well as on the seat flap, enables the garment to be opened out flat for laundry and storage convenience.
