That's What The "Little Pocket" In Your Panties Is For!
Have you ever noticed it? Every pair of panties has a little pocket. But what is it really for? We will explain it to you:
1. Cover
The gusset plays a particularly important role in lace undergarments, because due to the transparency of the fabric, the intimate area would be visually exposed without it. The gusset is also important in swimwear because the sewn-in piece of fabric prevents the garment from becoming too "see-through" when in contact with water.
2. Fitting
Tights, in particular, would be virtually impossible to wear without the sewn-in gusset, as they would otherwise cut into the crotch. The gusset provides a space between the tights and the genital area.
3. Hygiene
This is probably the most important aspect of the gusset: it absorbs secretions and sweat, and the "pocket" at the bottom ensures better air circulation and drying. This makes it more difficult for fungus and infections of all kinds to take hold. Some gussets even have an antibacterial effect.
