What is claimed is:
1. A separable undergarment for surgical, hospital and nursing use, comprising
- (a) a front panel of cloth whose upper edge forms a partial waistband and having opposed sides and having a central integral flap to form a crotch portion, said front panel having substantially continuous removably fastenable non-sticky mating surfaces along each side and along the lower edge of said flap;
- (b) a back panel of cloth removably adhered to said front panel, said back panel having an upper edge forming a partial waistband and having opposed sides and having an integral central descending flap to form said crotch portion with said other flap, said back panel having substantially continuous removably fastenable non-sticky mating surfaces along each side and along the lower edge of said flap;
- (c) wherein said front panel and said back panel may be fully or partially separated by pulling apart appropriate substantially continuous removably fastenable non-sticky mating surfaces;
- (d) at least one of said panels further containing at least one substantially continuous removably fastenable non-sticky mating surface secured to its external face at one of its side edges;
- (e) whereby when a portion of said one panel is detached from the other panel and rolled partially over, said exterior substantially continuous removably fastenable non-sticky mating surface serves to removably attach said rolled-over portion of said one panel;
- (f) thereby permitting said one panel to remain in a partially folded-over position and thereby permitting a portion of the lower abdomen or back to be exposed.
