Underwear is a very strange concept if you sit down and think about it.
and since I'm sitting down right now I figured I'd think about it.
Underwear...clothing you wear under clothing. The point of clothes is to cover up your naked body. Now sure we can get into fashion and style and expression through clothes but if you get down to the root of clothing its to cover up. If we are already wearing clothes that cover up what purpose does underwear have?
back in the day there must have been alot of depanting bullies and one day the smartest nerd fashioned a secret second line of defense something that he would "wear under" his pants. this would destroy the depantsing bullies lifestyle. However bring new life to the wedgie bully.
Or underwear could have been a scam from the clothing industries to make another thing for us to buy. perhaps the idea came along when one person loved a pair of pants and his wife complained that its gross to wear the same clothes over and over so to get around it he said well technically I'm changing every day you just can't see it, so I get the comfort and style I want and you get the hygiene and odorless house.
whatever the reason for underwear it exists and I wear it and lets just leave it at that.

ReplyDeleteAs far as I can tell underwear serves(ed) two important purposes that you are forgetting: one, warmth. Don't we add layers when we're cold? Two, modesty. Back in the day, it was improper and pretty unheard of for a woman to have only one layer covering her body. Which I daresay is why underwear caught on even in some warmer climates. And it wouldn't be as sexy for a woman to go without if it was the norm. So I guess there's three more purposes.
I've always thought of underwear as more of a chafe protector...
