Back in the old days, you would have had the same type of undergarment as everybody else unless you were very poor- then you would have had very little under your meager clothing. To hear some of my own relatives talk, the lack of women’s underwear throughout the course of history is the very reason for the Plague, mass numbers of women freezing to death and to them, leprosy, the gout and scurvy. Of course, these are the same women who are vehemently attached to their granny panties to this day and would never dream of wearing anything less than a full seated pair of women’s underwear and then some. My one aunt could, without a single doubt, pull her underwear right up to her chin without batting an eye.
But, blissfully, women’s underwear has come a long way since then and there are more to wear on your derriere than what your grandma would have dared. From simple briefs, of the right size of course, no big girl onesies ladies, to cheeky thongs, there is a dazzling, mind blowing array of colors and choices that will knock your socks off. Each have their one good and bad side, so always choose carefully and consider your wardrobe needs when looking in your drawer, which should of course be stocked with a number of different kinds of panties and other women’s intimates.
A Brief Story About Briefs
Ah, the brief. Remember when you were a little girl and this is all you were allowed to wear? On the plus side of the brief: they are comfortable, modest and tend to stay put. On the negative side, they may not be the sexiest thing in the arsenal and can be really obvious in certain outfits. Nothing ruins your day faster than a pair of sexy low rise jeans with an inch and a half of material peeping out of the waistband. Ooh la NO!
Bikini Kill?
One of the most popular versions of so called women’s underwear is the ever present bikini panty. Less coverage than the brief, more coverage than a thong, these are cute, but might not be right for everybody. If you don’t choose the right size, they are going to grind right into you and could be painful and that is never a plus. Poorly fitting bikini panties are also one of the major causes of panty lines.
What’s Wrong with the Thong?
Finally, one of the sexiest versions of women’s underwear is the thong and to tell the truth, this is what men dream about when they think of panties. On the plus side: they are sexy and eliminate the old panty line problem for the most part. On the negative side: if you don’t get the right size you might feel as if there will be two equal parts of you before the day has ended. For comfort, go up a size.
Women’s Underwear goes Duran Duran
Remember in the 80’s, all the boy bands that were glam rockers or androgynous rockers or a blend of both? Well, women’s underwear has its own little entry into that category with the boy short, a slightly smaller, tighter version of the male boxer. And, if you look at them, they are a little boxy. Boy shorts are not for everybody type if you are going for looks, but they are comfortable and are perfect for sleepwear, especially when it’s warmer weather.
