Why Women’s Underwear Have A Bow On Front

Have you ever wondered why women’s underwear often has that adorable little bow on the front? It’s not just for looks; there’s a nifty reason behind it.

Imagine it’s early morning, and the room is dark. You’re trying to put on your underwear, but it’s hard to tell the front from the back. Enter the trusty bow! As someone on Reddit pointed out, “That cute little addition serves as a tactile indicator,” making it easy to distinguish the front from the back. No more fumbling in the dark—just a quick touch and you’re set.

Back in the old days before elastic bands, underwear was held in place by ribbons threaded through eyelet lace at the top. Naturally, the ribbon was tied in the front for convenience. Before electricity, many had to get dressed by candlelight. Tying a ribbon behind your back in low light wasn’t practical, so tying it in the front made sense.
