The present invention relates to a method for stitching a multi-layer, breathable garment lining that can be re-used and is leakproof, and which has absorbent, antimicrobial, impermeable and vapour-dispersive properties. Such a lining is designed to prevent the leakage of body fluids, such as sweat, blood, vaginal fluids, menstrual fluid, urine, breast milk or post-surgery fluids. Such a lining has absorbent, antimicrobial, impermeable and vapour-dispersive properties. The lining may be stitched or adhesively bonded to the garment, which may be women's and men's underwear, shorts, Bermuda shorts, skirts, pants, brassieres, shirts, T shirts, overalls, body-sculpting wear, dresses, and women's and men's nightwear. The stitching method creates channels for the liquid and creates a non-linear "U"-shape structure in the lining in order to prevent leakage from the sides. The present lining also has a reduced number of layers laterally owing to one of the layers thereof being narrower than the other layers, providing the wearer with a thinner overlay.
