A bib system includes a liquid resistant flexible body member having a bottom configured to cover a torso of a user extending a lower periphery. A closure system is configured to engage the flexible body member with the torso of the user. A collapsible support structure is integrated with the flexible body member and is coupled to the closure. The collapsible support structure is configured to support the lower periphery of the flexible body member when the closure is engaged so that the bottom of the flexible body member forms an open pouch at the bottom of the flexible body member. The collapsible support structure is also configured not to form the pouch when the flexible body member is not applied around the torso of the user.

1. A bib for wearing by a user having a torso, comprising: (a) a liquid resistant flexible body member having a bottom configured to cover the torso of the user, the bottom extending to a lower periphery, the flexible body member defining a pocket adjacent the bottom;(b) a closure system configured to engage the flexible body member around the torso of the user; and(c) a separate collapsible support structure removably disposed inside the pocket of the flexible body member and directly coupled to the closure, the collapsible support structure having a first state that supports the flexible body member as an open pouch at the bottom of the flexible body member when the closure is engaged with the torso of the user, the collapsible support structure also having a second state in which the collapsible support structure and the flexible body member are substantially flat when the closure is not engaged with the torso of the user. 2. The bib of claim 1, wherein the collapsible support structure fits into the pocket, the pocket configured to allow the collapsible support structure to be removable therefrom to facilitate washing of the flexible body member. 3. The bib of claim 2, wherein the pocket is defined by a flap disposed across a portion of the flexible body member, the flap being connectable to the lower periphery of the flexible body member. 4. The bib of claim 3, wherein the flap and the lower periphery of the flexible body member include a plurality of snaps configured to close the pocket. 5. The bib of claim 1, wherein the flexible body member comprises a fabric. 6. The bib of claim 5, wherein the fabric comprises 100% woven polyester fabric. 7. The bib of claim 1, wherein the closure system comprises at least one hook and loop fastener in which a hook portion thereof is attached to a first side of the flexible body member and in which a loop portion thereof is attached to a second side, opposite from the first side, of the flexible body member. 8. The bib of claim 1, wherein the collapsible support structure comprises a first elongated stiff flexible rib, having a first end and an opposite second end, disposed along the lower periphery of the flexible body member and that has a first state that forms a substantially circular rim configured to support a portion of the bottom of the flexible body member in the shape of a pouch when the closure system draws the first end next to the second end and that has a second state that is substantially straight when the closure system is not engaged. 9. The bib of claim 8, further comprising a second elongated stiff flexible rib disposed substantially parallel to the first elongated stiff flexible rib and configured to support an inner top portion of the pouch. 10. The bib of claim 9, further comprising a plurality of spaced apart stiff flexible ribs disposed transversely to the first elongated stiff flexible rib and the second elongated stiff flexible rib and connected thereto, so that when the closure system is engaged the plurality of spaced apart stiff flexible ribs provide support to a bottom of the pouch. 11. A bib system, comprising: (a) a liquid resistant flexible body member having a bottom configured to cover a torso of a user, the bottom extending to a lower periphery, the flexible body member defining a pocket adjacent the bottom;(b) a closure system configured to engage the flexible body member around the torso of the user; and(c) a separate collapsible support structure removably disposed inside the pocket and directly coupled to the closure, the collapsible support structure having a first state that supports the flexible body member as an open pouch at the bottom of the flexible body member when the closure is engaged with the torso of the user, the collapsible support structure also having a second state in which the collapsible support structure and the flexible body member are substantially flat when the closure is not engaged with the torso of the user, the collapsible support structure having a size so as to fit into the pocket, the collapsible support structure including a first elongated stiff flexible rib, having a first end and an opposite second end, disposed along the lower periphery of the flexible body member having a shape that forms a substantially circular rim that supports a portion of the bottom of the flexible body member in the shape of a pouch when the closure system draws the first end next to the second end, wherein the pocket is structured so as to allow the collapsible support structure to be removable therefrom to facilitate washing of the flexible body member. 12. The bib system of claim 11, wherein the pocket is defined by a flap disposed across a portion of the flexible body member, the flap being connectable to the lower periphery of the flexible body member. 13. The bib system of claim 11, wherein the flexible body member comprises a 100% woven polyexter fabric. 14. The bib system of claim 11, wherein the closure system comprises at least one hook and loop fastener in which a hook portion thereof is attached to a first side of the flexible body member and in which a loop portion thereof is attached to a second side, opposite from the first side, of the flexible body member. 15. The bib system of claim 11, further comprising a second elongated stiff flexible rib disposed substantially parallel to the first elongated stiff flexible rib and configured to support an inner top portion of the pouch. 16. The bib system of claim 11, further comprising a plurality of spaced apart stiff flexible ribs disposed transversely to the first elongated stiff flexible rib and the second elongated stiff flexible rib and connected thereto, so that when the closure system is engaged the plurality of spaced apart stiff flexible ribs provide support to a bottom of the pouch.
