My 4am brain wants to know what triggered the invention of brief underpants. Did someone wake up one day and think “screw these comfy bloomers, I want something that cuts into my groin, rides up my butt, forces me to remove the edges of my pubic bush and introduces me to the world of thigh chaff and yeast infections. Today I shall invent that and this will be my legacy!” Seriously though, why briefs? Can someone tell me? #clothes #history #historyofclothes #pants #underwear #knickers
