Panties are an irreplaceable thing these days. We wear this underwear, regardless of age, mood or weather outside. Interestingly, the word “pants” is French, it translates as “rolled up, short pants.”

People began covering the most intimate parts of their own bodies in ancient times. Already primitive men and women used animal skins for similar purposes, and linen loincloths were popular among the ancient Egyptians.
The inhabitants of Ancient Greece tried to hide their nakedness with long togas, and gladiators wore panties almost similar to modern ones, but used them only as a sports uniform for performing in fights.
The Arabs also covered the lower part of the body, but not just with loincloths, but with long trousers, which protected them from the hot sun during the day and from the desert cold at night.
It is believed that the first panties appeared in the 12th century. However, they were not used en masse for a long time: for several centuries, people wore long shirts over their naked bodies. Such underwear was popular among both wealthy citizens and the poor.
In the early Middle Ages, the wearing of underwear by European Catholic priests was prohibited. It began to be used actively only in the 15th century in Italy, and in the 16th century in France. Only after this did the fashion for panties spread throughout Europe.
It is interesting that for a long time underpants remained an exclusively male item of clothing. Women began to wear them only at the end of the 18th century. Until this time, ladies, regardless of their financial situation, went without underwear. Instead, several petticoats were worn under the outer dress. Englishwomen were the first to try on panties, and after a while all other women appreciated the convenience and practicality of this item of clothing.

In the 20th century, panties became obligatory underwear, worn every day. Then pantaloons came into fashion. Already at the beginning of the century they were not just beautiful, but also seductive. For example, women's pantaloons were often decorated with a button on the back, while men's pantaloons were often decorated with a button on the front.
In 1924, people began to use the term “panties,” and by the middle of the century, when miniskirts came into fashion, pantaloons became noticeably shorter.
Men's and women's briefs are two completely different models. They differ not only in color, but also in cut and design parts. So, the main details of women's panties are the front and back parts, gusset and elastic waistband. Men's models also consist of a front and back piece, but instead of a gusset, a wedge is sewn onto them.
Today, panties are made from different materials. For daily use, it is better to choose models whose fabric contains a large amount of natural fibers. It can be cotton, viscose with a small addition of synthetics (no more than 30%).
Swim briefs are made from artificial materials: polyester, nylon.They are stretchy and dry quickly, making them ideal for swimming, but not ideal for everyday wear.

There are fewer options for men. Among the main ones we note:
Also, men sometimes wear very extravagant models that are traditionally considered feminine. For example, today you won’t surprise anyone with men’s bikinis or thongs.
