Have you ever wondered why underwear contains that typical pocket in the intimate area? All panties have it and people have become so used to it that they don’t think about why it is that way. However, even though it looks like a mere habit, this little pocket has its reason. So if you also want to find out what this pocket is for and why it’s on all panties, read on!
The mysterious underwear pocket
It is hard not to notice that underwear – this applies to most panties (even the smallest ones) – has a certain inner pocket. Some may have thought about it, others took it as a fact and did not investigate the function of this pocket. This inner pocket is located in the area where the panties come into contact with the vagina. It’s probably not just a coincidence, what do you think?
Function of the pocket on underwear
Although we call this shape, which is common to most women’s panties, „pocket“, that’s not entirely true. After all, pockets are usually used to hide something in them. But we don’t hide anything in this „pocket“ on panties. Can you guess what this pocket is for? This pocket is usually made of a different fabric than the rest of the panties. It consists of two layers in total:
- The first is meant to provide better ventilation for a woman’s private parts.
- The second layer of fabric protects against possible infections because it prevents friction with the clothing we wear daily. It also helps regulate the vagina’s temperature and keeps it in a healthier condition.
Underwear without a pocket
Some panties do not have this pocket. We recommend avoiding those, because they are not as hygienic as others. It is important to buy panties made of breathable materials, such as cotton or bamboo. It is also necessary to focus on maintaining adequate hygiene (not only insufficient, but also excessive hygiene is harmful) in the intimate area. Pay attention to hygiene especially after you go to the toilet, or also after sex.
