The modern fashion industry regularly pleases women with new underwear. But many girls since childhood are interested in the question of what the pocket in women's panties is for, because it is hardly appropriate to store anything there. However, it does not imply such a function.
What does it provide?
Pocket on women's panties— This is a gusset, an essential element of underwear. This detail is sewn on three sides, while the fourth edge remains free. Its shape varies depending on the model of panties. For tango, it is a narrow strip of fabric, for classic models, it is wide, in triangular thongs. The detail is present in almost all models of women's panties:
- shorts;
- slipah;
- classical;
- tanga;
- thongs;
- bikini;
- Brazilian.
Only lace guipure models can be made without a pocket. It is assumed that they are intended for romantic dates, intimate photo shoots, that is, for short-term wear. Such panties play a more decorative role, they are sewn from beautiful, but synthetic fabric.
The options for making a gusset in expensive and budget models will differ in the quality of the stitching. Very cheap women's panties may not have a pocket, because not everyone understands what it is for, so it is important to pay attention to this point when buying underwear.
Some women perceive the gusset as a built-in daily pad that performs the corresponding function. However, this is precisely why the detail in question was initially sewn in when the production of women's panties reached a mass level.
The first panties appeared in the 12th century, but they only began to be actively used in Europe at the end of the 18th century. Russian women wore pantaloons. By the way, this model of panties is still popular with some ladies, and it also has a gusset.
Why is it necessary?
Not many people know why women's panties need a pocket on the inside. The presence of this detail is due to the production process and the convenience of using underwear. If you stitch the gusset around the entire perimeter, the resulting internal seam can begin to rub the skin when wearing panties, causing discomfort. Therefore, one edge remains free, but is well processed so that the fabric does not stretch, the threads do not fall out, and the product looks neat. If a girl pays attention to her wardrobe, she will be able to find panties with a completely stitched gusset. The seam is present, but it is as smooth as possible, there is no pocket on such women's panties.
In high-quality expensive panties, the gusset is made of cotton, regardless of what material the model is sewn from.
Cotton for the gusset is the best option, because it comes into contact with a woman’s sensitive skin, should absorb moisture well and not cause irritation.
Let's consider why women's panties have a pocket inside:
- Its main purpose is to maintain hygiene. This is possible only with the use of natural materials, so even when sewing lacy, elegant panties, cotton fabrics are needed.
- Another option for using a gusset is the ability of the fabric from which the model is sewn to stretch. The pocket is made of another, more natural material, to avoid deformation of the panties when washing and wearing. That is why it is not stitched along the entire perimeter.
A woman's wardrobe should include not only sexy lace panties. In the cold season, simpler items made of thick natural knitwear are relevant.
Options for using the outside pocket on men's underwear
The small outer pocket on men's underwear serves as a decoration. It can, of course, be used to store something, but it is unlikely that this is what designers and manufacturers intended when developing the model. If necessary, a man can use the outer pocket for the following purposes:
- Store contraception the day before an intimate date.
- Hide money, for example, on a long journey on public transport, on excursions.
- Attach a pin to the pocket of your swimming trunks so that you can help yourself if you get a cramp while swimming.
- Place a paper napkin, which can be useful if there is no toilet paper.
- When going to the pool, you can put the key to the locker in your pocket.
Some models of men's swimming trunks have a pocket with a zipper. In such a place you can safely hide a valuable item without the risk of losing it. For example, you can put a ring there so that it does not fall off your finger while swimming.
A pocket sewn onto men's underwear in front can also amuse the ego of its owner. After all, thanks to such decor, his dignity looks more impressive. When choosing a model of underwear, you should be careful so that in the end you make the right impression and do not look comical.
The inner pocket on women's panties plays a hygienic role, and the outer one plays a decorative role. Although the use of both for other purposes is not prohibited by anyone and depends solely on the wishes of the owner of this piece of clothing.
