Briefs are normally known as a men’s type of underwear. This has changed many times throughout the history of women’s underwear and briefs, or boy briefs are they are now known to women, are once again a popular style for women.

 

Women’s underwear originally started out as a pantaloon, a large, knee-length balloon style undergarment that was worn specifically under a woman’s dress. As time evolved, the style changed to a closer fitting garment that was worn under both dresses and pants.

 

Fashions are constantly evolving bringing about the emersion of tighter slacks and jeans for women, which produced the need for the typical panty style underwear that could be worn under shorts, jeans, or any other type of garment the woman chose to put on. These closer fitting garments allowed them to wear these without bulges or the undergarment showing through.

 

Today’s styles of low rise pants have once again brought back the brief style underwear to the women’s underwear collections. Briefs are often referred to as boy cut undergarments and are low-rise and close fitting to accommodate most any style of outfit she might choose to wear.

 

Comfort is also a major consideration for many women, especially when exercising or working out. Briefs are a great choice when worn under exercise outfits because they move easily and do not restrict the motion of the person wearing them. Most briefs are also made of cotton and are great for absorbing sweat and will help to decrease irritation and odors.

 

Briefs can also be found in many pajama lines as the bottom portion of the pajama. This is great as the same qualities that make them great for exercising in make them wonderful for a pajama. They give the woman a sexy look, while remaining soft and comfortable and non-restricting.

 

Briefs come in many different sizes, styles and colors. Many have designer or cute appliqués that the woman will consider to be stylish. Choosing the one that fits both your size and style is a very easy task as briefs can be found not only in lingerie stores, but also in most major department stores.

 

Briefs are believed to be inherently popular because many women still feel that the post-sex look of a woman in a man’s shirt and underpants is sexy. That is exactly the look that women’s briefs portray. Other women just cling to the sexy look of the low rise low cut look that actresses make so popular today. It is also believed that the women’s version of the tighty-whitey is a great nostalgic look back to the days of yesteryear when women’s undergarments were simply functional and not sexy.

 

For this reason, retailers and designers alike all strive to hit the consumer with advertisements that push both the desire to be sexy and the desire to return to the simpler
