Is lingerie fashionable?

A few centuries ago you didn't wear panties!

I suggest you go back in time! Your smartphone does not yet exist and you will do without your favorite dating site since here you will have to do them live! From the Middle Ages to the 18th century, the only people who wore panties were… men! In fact, what they called "panties" would today be called "pantacourt", a piece of fabric that only came down to the knees and was worn with stockings, yes stockings! So here you are, a young virgin strolling in the wind in the streets of your village when suddenly a not too bad young beggar catches your eye . You would surely like to make fun of her underwear while you, young lady, have your pussy in the air! And yes ! At that time, wanting to be one of the first influencers, only Catherine de Medici wore underpants when she rode a horse, you only wear a kind of white shirt, in silk or canvas, as underwear . You will have to wait until the beginning of the 19th century so that you can finally cover your cat!

So you're wearing one of your usual dresses but out of decency it's out of the question that a fabric can be seen under it! The period lingerie pants are therefore shortened and here you are in your first panties! You will wear them for years and years, always the same shape but sometimes you will allow yourself some madness on the colors by going from a white, to a white a little less white!

The time for change is coming! Over the years, our intimate hygiene presenting its limits and the skirts becoming shorter and shorter, new solutions had to be found and it is at this moment that your panties are seen being planed by several centimeters to finally go up to above the knees. It even becomes mandatory in some cases, especially when joining your beggar dressed in your most beautiful crinoline , you want to sit down without having to show your privacy to everyone. Strange fact when you know that at this time even if your man's panties are closed, yours is all open in order to remain practical during possible antics and for urination (to pee).

But you now live in the 20th century, your dress style evolving with fashion, you wear ever more tight-fitting dresses and your panties still need a scissor cut! And here is your first short panty ! In 1918 it was Pierre Valton, the creator of " Petit Bateau " who imagined the shorts as you know them today. Then from the 60s, your underwear evolved again from cotton to lace, from white to black and a few years later, here you are wearing thongs or boxers!

The panties from your drawers...
