Underpants are a daily essential, but many overlook their peculiarities, like the tiny bow on women’s underwear. While it’s generally seen as an ornamental feature, a theory suggests it originated from the time before elastic, when underwear was fastened with a ribbon tied in a bow at the front. This idea is plausible, as elastic only became widely used in the 1900s, but there’s little evidence to support it. Historically, women’s undergarments evolved from simple chemises to more ornate garments, with bows possibly added as a decorative element once elastic was introduced. Alternatively, the bow could simply be a charming design choice with no historical roots.
