Why the women thong have little bow on the front?
If you are someone who wears thongs every day then you might not pay much attention to the little bow that's often on the front, but it turns out it's not just for decoration.
When walking through any shop that sells underwear, you'll notice one common design feature that most pairs of thongs share.
And that’s a little bow on the front at the very top.
Many women surely won't pay much attention to this bow, as they're so used to seeing them - but they do come in handy when working out which way round to put your pants on.
A Reddit user explaining the meaning behind the little bows, here are some replys from the post.
The most common response was that the bow kept underwear from falling down as elastic was yet to be invented - but today it also remains on knickers for aesthetic reasons.
Because it's cute, it's feminine, it evokes innocence, and it makes it really easy to tell which side is the front when dressing hastily in the dark.
It comes from pre-elastic days when your underthings were held in place by a bit of ribbon threaded through the eyelet lace at the tops.
I organized some underwear with little bows, some cute, some sexy, and some traditional.
