Claims preview

1 . A washable and reusable garment, comprising: a fabric body having a waist opening and a pair of leg openings defining a crotch area therebetween; and an absorbent pad comprising: a wearer facing top layer, a barrier layer, and one or more intermediate layers disposed between the top layer and the barrier layer, wherein the absorbent pad is attached to the fabric body in at least part of the crotch area using stitching and/or one or more bonding means, wherein the absorbent pad has an outer edge around a perimeter of the absorbent pad; a periphery of the absorbent pad extends along the outer edge of the perimeter, wherein the periphery comprises one or more sealed side edges, each sealed side edge comprising a fluid seal providing a continuous sealing along the respective sealed side edge and between the wearer facing top layer and the barrier layer, thereby hindering fluid leakage from an area inside the periphery to the outside of the outer edge via the sealed side edge, wherein, in the one or more sealed side edges, the fluid seal substantially coincides with the outer edge of the absorbent pad, or the fluid seals are arranged to extend along the outer edge and at a distance from the outer edge; and wherein the fluid seal comprises an elastic tape. 2 . The garment according to claim 1 , wherein the absorbent pad comprises a top edge directed towards a front of the garment, a bottom edge directed towards a rear of the garment, and a pair of side edges, each side edge being at least partly directed towards a respective leg opening, and connecting the first edge and the rear edge. 3 . The garment according to claim 2 , wherein each side edge is at least partly arranged at the respective leg opening of the garment.
