Knickers

Knickers, also known as panties or underpants, are a type of women's underwear that cover the hips and buttocks, and are typically worn under skirts or dresses. They are designed to provide comfort and support, and are available in a variety of styles and materials to suit different preferences and needs. The history of knickers can be traced back to the 19th century, when women's clothing began to change to accommodate more active lifestyles. Prior to this, women wore long, heavy dresses that made movement difficult. As women began to participate in sports and other physical activities, they needed undergarments that were more practical and comfortable. Knickers were developed to meet this need, and quickly became a popular choice for women of all ages. Today, knickers are available in a wide range of styles, from basic cotton briefs to lacy thongs and everything in between. They are often made from soft, breathable materials like cotton, silk, or nylon, and may feature additional details like lace trim, bows, or embroidery. Some knickers are designed for specific purposes, such as shaping or support, while others are simply meant to be comfortable and practical. Overall, knickers are an essential part of many women's wardrobes, providing comfort, support, and style in equal measure. Whether you prefer classic briefs or something a little more daring, there is a pair of knickers out there to suit your needs.
