Modern Adult Brief
This photo shows a modern adult brief made with a straight cut chassis (also called “narrow” chassis) and two sets of lateral non-stretchable ears. This design saves from the need for a trim cut and the use of a rotary die cutter, it avoids the use of a frontal loop by using lateral hooks that can attach directly to the textile backsheet. It saves raw materials and reduces waste. It is optional to add elastic to one of the ears for a better fit. This product was made by Paul Hartmann in Germany in 2016.
