Women's underwear - history of origin

In ancient times, only men wore underwear, if, of course, a loincloth can be called that way: this detail protected the reproductive organs, and procreation played a significant role in the life of the tribe. But representatives of the fair sex began to wear underwear much later. Knickers and “bust supports” were finally recognized in Europe only in the 19th century. In Russia, the fate of women's underwear turned out to be closely connected with the history of the country itself.

Wasp waist

During the time of Peter I, as you know, everything German was in fashion, including clothes. And in Germany then, as well as throughout Europe, the canons established by Catherine de Medici were in effect, requiring that a woman’s waist be no more than 35 cm. In connection with this, obese women had some difficulties. The corset solved their problems. Although Peter I gave preference to portly beauties, after a trip to Europe he strongly recommended that Russian court ladies follow European fashion. Why did he personally bring this detail of the women's toilet? The Russian Tsar did not take into account one thing: in Europe, girls from childhood were taught to wear corsets, and Russian young ladies of a magnificent physique could hardly tolerate this “armor”, in which it was difficult for them not only to dance at balls, but even to breathe. The woman could not put on the corset on her own. The maid had to work for several hours to tighten the lacing and turn the plump into a reed. At the same time, the fashion victim was forced to hold on to a support so as not to fall. Later, women began to wear tight leotards under their dresses. At the same time, the underwear of decent ladies had to be exclusively white or flesh-colored. Other colors were considered indecent. However, the leotard could not emphasize the waist and chest. Therefore, the corset returned to the women's wardrobe.

Item for home

Of course, such a war with nature could not but bring harm. In 1895, Wilhelm Roentgen discovered radiation, which was called x-rays. The first thing the scientist did was take pictures of his wife’s chest. He was shocked to see the ribs and internal organs deformed by the corset. After this discovery, the scientific world began to demand a ban on corsets. However, women's breasts still needed to be emphasized somehow. And in 1903, the doctor Ghosh Capo proposed dividing the corset into two parts: for the bust and for the waist. Later, the second began to serve as a garter belt. The first so-called “backless bra” was made by the American Mary Jacobs in 1914 - from tailor’s ribbons and two handkerchiefs. She immediately patented her invention under the name Caresse Crosby. At first, her bras were not a success. As a result, she sold the patent to a corsetry company for $1,500, and over 30 years it earned $15 million from bras. In Russia, bras, or “bust holders” as they were called, appeared in 1910: they were brought and sold by a certain industrialist named Abramson. It is noteworthy that on the labels intimate goods were modestly designated as “things for the home.” At the same time, it was produced in three sizes and cost 4 rubles.

Blended fabrics

• Satin - the material is obtained by combining cotton with nylon or polyester. The front side of the panties is smooth and shiny, the back side is slightly rough and matte.
• Micromodal - produced from beech cellulose under the influence of chemicals. The panties feel and look like silk, but are many times stronger, and are 1.5 times more hygroscopic than natural fabrics.
• Soft knitwear (interlock and knitwear) - made of cotton with a small addition of synthetics. Knitted panties have all the positive properties of natural and artificial fabrics and are the best option for the cold season.

Rolled up pants

The word “panties” was formed from a combination of two French words: “culotte” and “trousse”, which literally meant “rolled up pants”. The introduction of Russian women to this detail of the ladies' lower toilet began in the middle of the 19th century - with the wearing of pantaloons. Before that, the cold areas were protected by numerous skirts and an undershirt tied at the bottom. True, in the 17th-18th centuries, on critical days, women wore “private ports”, reminiscent of long panties made of thick fabric. The first women's pantaloons looked more like a skirt sewn at the bottom. At first, their cut was simple, only the cuffs were a little decorated with lace. At the same time, the trouser legs were not sewn together so that the lady could relieve herself without taking off her pantaloons. For it was very difficult to do this without outside help, because from above they were tightly pressed to the body by a corset. When pantaloons finally took on their true form, older ladies refused to wear them, considering them part of a man's wardrobe. But then someone, just in time, remembered the same Catherine de Medici, who rode horseback in men’s pants. And a convincing argument in favor of pantaloons was found. Panties in our usual form appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. True, due to their high cost, only wealthy ladies could buy them...

Inclusivity is a new trend that is expressed in the adaptation of underwear to any type of figure and any skin tone.

Keeping up with history

In the 1930s, ideas of gender equality took root in Soviet society. In this connection, ruffles, lace and other delights are a thing of the past. The assortment of underwear has become scarce. In stores you could find four types of long johns, cotton shirts and briefs: white, black, blue. As for bras, the industry produced only one model in three sizes: 1, 2 and 3. Women who did not fall under these standards got out as best they could. In the 1950s there were six sizes, and by the 1970s there were nine. After the Great Patriotic War, Soviet women were able to appreciate the variety of models and colors of captured underwear. Another piece of underwear - the slip - quickly gained popularity. Some were not even embarrassed to go out in it, not seeing anything shameful in it. In the 1970s, after Furtseva’s words that “every Soviet woman has the right to a quality bra,” the assortment in stores increased. But diversity and grace were still a long way off. There is a known case when the Soviet model Leka Mironova, who participated in a show at World Fashion Week in Moscow, completely refused to wear a bra, just so that her Western colleagues would not see this Soviet product. German and Czech underwear appeared in the capital only 10 years later. And then it could be bought either in shops through connections, or from speculators, and for a lot of money. But, according to reviews of Soviet women, it was worth it. Fortunately, all these horrors are behind us: today you don’t have to choke in a huge line for underwear or buy panties from a speculator in the gateway, barely having time to assess their size. Modern stores are full of beautiful sets of underwear - for every taste and budget.

Yves Montand and Soviet trousers

In 1963, the famous actor and chansonnier Yves Montand came to the USSR on tour. When leaving back, he bought a whole collection of Soviet women's underwear. In France, he organized an exhibition, the visitors of which had a lot of fun looking at the fleece trousers and ridiculous panties! colors and bras without undercuts.

You probably didn’t realize how much you can learn about a man by… the underpants he wears.

Already on your first intimate date, it’s easy to guess what to expect from the owner of certain panties - just look at them once. The knowledge you gain today will amuse you and also teach you to understand men a little better. So, take a look at his underpants and find out what kind of person he is sexually and what kind of person he is! Is it right for you?

Boxer briefs

A man who prefers boxer shorts is a great original, but not in bed. In life he may seem unique and extraordinary, but in bed, alas, he is lazy. Such a man is accustomed to being pleased by him, and not vice versa. In sex he is selfish. Although, as they say, it is the best option for the company. He always jokes well and attracts attention; it's fun and interesting to be with him. But be prepared for the fact that at night you will have to “work for free.” It's almost impossible to force him to do anything.

In Boxers? Get out of my pier!

Swimming trunks

Men who prefer briefs are usually picky about sex. They love to have pleasure and give it to their partner. Also, such men usually take care of their appearance, their figure and do not miss the chance to run to the gym once again. Unfortunately, with a man in swimming trunks there is not always something to talk about - they either constantly repeat the same thing, or simply do not find anything to say. But if you were looking for the perfect sex partner, then this is exactly what you need.

Shorts

The difference between boxer shorts and family briefs is that they are wider than family briefs, but shorter than boxer briefs. This is not the most comfortable option to wear. The man in shorts is uncollected and absent-minded. Sometimes he is slow, sometimes he is overly fussy. When it comes to sex, he is simply incomprehensible and indiscriminate, constantly doing something wrong and unable to cope with his feelings. A night with him can turn into a painful wait for the morning.

Bicycle shorts

Bicycle shorts on a man without a bicycle may seem strange from the outside. But you shouldn’t despair, especially since this type is extremely rare. A man in “bicycle shorts” is not afraid of difficulties, loves adventure, and does not stop there. He always treats his partner with care, is affectionate and original in sex. As a rule, he is handsome, so you will have to endure the envious glances of women if you and your “bicycle” partner go out for a walk. But that's not bad either! However, this does not always happen. It's just that men in thongs are susceptible to various sexual experiments. Have you always wanted something spicy and unusual in bed? Then this type is yours! He will certainly offer you at least a threesome.

Caring and affectionate? Please come to us!

Funny It happens that men like to joke, and for a date they choose funny elephant underpants or bunny underpants. Or just panties in absolutely killer colors. There is no place for jokes in sex... But perhaps someone might like this. A man in cool underpants has a healthy sense of humor, which, unfortunately, is not always useful. Don't be surprised if during sex he starts telling jokes and jokes about your figure.
