Abstract
A disposable shower thong including a sole member formed of a flat planar paper material that has a top surface and a bottom surface. The paper material of the sole member has a top layer and a bottom layer with a common sheeting therebetween. Each layer is comprised of a corrugated paper sheet. The corrugated sheet of each layer has an alternating sequence of protruding crests and recessed troughs defining a wave-like filler. The sole member has a front foot section, a heel section and an end step section. Lastly, an elongated strap is positioned around the sole member and attached by an adhesive to the bottom surface of the sole. The strap, when attached to the bottom surface, forms a semi-spherical loop about the top surface of the sole.

A disposable shower thong comprising:
- a sole member being formed of a flat planar paper material having a top surface and a bottom surface, the paper material of the sole member having a top layer and a bottom layer with a common sheeting therebetween, each layer being comprised of a corrugated paper sheet, the corrugated sheet of each layer having an alternating sequence of protruding crests and recessed troughs defining a wave like filler, the sole member having a front foot section, a heel section and an instep section therebetween;
- and
- an elongated strap being positionable around the sole member and attached by an adhesive to the bottom surface of the sole, the strap when attached to the bottom surface forms a semi-spherical loop above the top surface of the sole.
A new and improved disposable shower thong for protection of feet from bacteria and fungi growing on shower surfaces comprising in combination:
- a sole member having a front foot section, a heel section and an instep section therebetween, the sole being formed of a flat planar paper material having a top surface and a bottom surface, each surface of the sole having been coated with a water resistant material for making the paper material of the sole member water proof, each surface of the sole being impregnated with an anti-fungal agent;
- the paper material of the sole member having a top layer and a bottom layer with a common sheeting therebetween, each layer being comprised of a corrugated paper sheet, the corrugated paper sheet of the top layer being attached to an upper surface of the common sheeting and the top surface of the sole, the corrugated paper sheet of the bottom layer being attached to a bottom surface of the common sheeting and the bottom surface of the sole;
- the corrugated sheet of each layer having an alternating sequence of protruding crests and recessed troughs defining a wave like filler, the crests and troughs of each corrugated sheet of each layer extending laterally to left and right edges of the sole, and in a direction generally perpendicular with the longitudinal axis of the sole member, the filler of each layer being treated with the water resistant material for making the filler of each layer water proof;
- and
- an elongated strap being formed of a double layer of flexible material, the layers of the strap being attached thereto by an adhesive, the strap being positionable around the sole member and forming a semi-spherical loop positionable above the top surface of the sole, the strap being attached by an adhesive to the bottom surface of the sole between the instep section and the front foot section.
