Whether they are made from cotton, satin or luxurious silk, they are every woman's essential undergarment.

Panties, like no other clothing item has drawn such mixed reactions, with which, women have had love/hate relationships since they were introduced. Transformed into a key fashion item through the centuries, they have been the cause of embarrassment and sometimes ridicule, as well as being seen as a sign of luxury, a token of promiscuous sex and given as an intimate gift to a lover.

An abundance of names for panties have been introduced over the years from pantaloons, pantalets, bloomers, knickers, drawers, French knickers and knickerbockers to knicks, smalls, camis, briefs, and tap panties.

In brief, panties grew sleeker and slimmer throughout the century and were cut closer to the body,and was soon to be thought of by most women as a second skin.

Essentially a panty has a waistband that rests at just below the navel and covers the bottom fully. Many women consider this as the most comfortable panty style and is usually worn when visible panty lines and sheer-ness are not an issue. High-cut briefs have also been a popular choice.

They can be made of a multitude of fabrics such as cotton, nylon, lace, lycra, satin, silk and/or a combination thereof. Silk or satin panties have a wonderful texture and sensual feel, satin, less expensive than silk, is much more durable and easy to care for.

Panties can be seamless, sheer, full figure, long leg, clear straps, no lace, and laced trimmed.
