The history of panties.
Ancient civilization in general was not aware of the concept of "panties". Europeans - her heirs , to the idea of underwear came an uneasy way. They constantly improved the elements of clothing. There is an opinion that the panties occurred either from pants, or from Roman shoes, which eventually grew taller, until it began to resemble stockings. In the end, the Roman shoes ("calceum") grew into something similar to tights, which called "calzone".
The concept of "cowards" came from trousers - "trousers". Their length was then to the knees, then to the ankles. However, in any case, for them in all ages, nothing was compromised - no trousers, underpants, and the more cowards. The long shirt served as the only underwear. Such a shirt is well known to us from Russian folk tales and old cartoons, where both the common peasant and the important king appeared in shapeless, long shirts that served as underwear.
In the 12th century, the spacious underwear was replaced by a more fitting one. And the reason for this - not very aesthetic. In those days, they washed themselves very rarely, so they tried to protect their clothes from contamination, since it was made from very expensive fabrics. Then the prototype of the future underwear was invented. They were tight-fitting robes that were not intended for public viewing - their task was to keep expensive things in good condition.
Until the twentieth century, cowards, as such, were not. All this time they improved, changed, gradually acquiring similar features with modern models.
At the end of the 19th century, both pieces of pantaloons were finally sewn together. This new fashion of most of the female part of the population of Europe seemed indecent. Many women criticized her and preferred to wear seamless underwear.
Ladies until 1900 wore free models of "women's panties" of wool, linen or cotton, pulled down into large assemblies. The buckle was located behind the bottom. The summer version was in the form of short panties to the knees with armhole, which is below the usual - until the intimate place, she did not get. Rather, they represented a skirt, sandwiched between the legs, rather than pants that were considered vulgar. Decent ladies could wear them, not creating to the strong-sex representatives useless obstacles and not humiliating women's dignity.
By the 1920s, an elegant woman had some choice, albeit small. She could wear a straight combination with a buckle from below or loose, slightly flared mantel pants.
A true breakthrough in the history of making panties occurred in 1935. Then the real men fought in sunny Spain. Advanced women in the US and Europe suddenly came to the idea that a knitted dress sitting on the body directly (instead of developing pants) is their ideal, exactly what they wanted.
Problems of the technical plan did not exist: good panties for men have long been made of knitted material and have been improved to support and perfect fit. It was not the first year that bathing suits were made out of knitwear, and sports and fits like gloves. At that time, only the question of the psychological plan arose in front of women - whether to step on one level with men. After all, initially, putting on the subject of a male toilet, they made the most beautiful things difficult to access, something for which for many centuries a man had open access. Our emancipated great-great-grandmothers made a choice and found the answer. Thanks to them, for today we have women's panties not only as a wardrobe item, but also as an object of seduction and seduction.
Today, with the help of female little tricks, we can lead the desires of men, having managed to direct their imagination in the direction we need.
