Ever wondered why women’s underwear often has a cute little bow on the front? It’s not just for looks; it serves a practical purpose.
In low light, like early mornings, that bow acts as a tactile indicator, helping you easily identify the front from the back. Historically, before elastic bands, underwear was secured with ribbons tied at the front for convenience, especially when dressing by candlelight.
Though elastic has replaced ribbons, the bow remains a charming reminder of our dressing history—a small detail with a significant impact.
