The first panties conceived as a female intimate garment date back to the 18th century, they had a lot of fabric and reached the ankles. Over the years they were reduced, until producing the pantyhose that we have today, which are made with different fabrics such as: cotton, lace, silk or other synthetic materials.
To perform all functions, most pantyhose have a kind of “pocket”, although it is actually a double cotton lining. An additional layer that cannot be sewn on top to prevent it from being uncomfortable.
In addition, this piece of fabric prevents irritation from rubbing when walking and excessive natural sweating when moving or in situations of increased heat.

In that sense, the “pocket” is essential to prevent the passage of bacteria that can alter the vaginal flora and develop infections. In addition, the fact that it is open is an advantage when washing underwear, since a deeper cleaning can be done through the double lining.
