I think that underwear were invented by laundresses...who were tired of cleaning gross old skid marksout of people's pants...so they invented something small, light, absorbent, and easily "Lost"
in the laundry when they get too dirty...unlike the pants, which would be missed.

I'm wearing my black lacey thong. Sometimes I wear it backwards, but that feels REALLY strange since I have certain parts of the human anatomy that girls don't.

Hey, i don't wear mine backwards, but i'm wearing one too!
... I don't suppose you wanted to know that.
Well, in Elizabethan times it was fashionable to dangle out as much as possible - those codpeices guys used to wear were all about making their nether regions stick out as much as humanly possible.
However here's some Historical Notes:
History of Men's Underwear:
Loincloths were the first underwear, to "hold things in" and protect the body from the elements. The remnants of leather loincloths have been found with the remains of pre-historic man living 7,000 years ago. The loincloth is the simplest and probably the first undergarment worn by human beings, alone in warmer climates and covered by other garments in colder. The Egyptians of the 2nd millenium B.C. used fabric to form an undergarment over which they wore a skirt. Men in ancient Rome wore what was called a subligaculum, which in modern terms means a pair of shorts or a loincloth and was worn under a toga or tunic.
Around the 13th century, pull-on underpants were invented and underwear became an important garment. The loincloth was replaced by large, baggy drawers called 'braies', which were often made from linen and seem to be worn by men from all classes of society under their normal clothing. Knights wore 'braies' under several layers of clothing topped by their armor. The wearer stepped into them and then laced or tied them around the waist and legs at about mid-calf.
In the Renaissance, braies became more snug and were usually fitted with a flap in the front that buttoned or tied closed. This codpiece allowed men to urinate without having to remove the braies completely. At first, the codpiece was entirely a practical matter of modesty. Men's hose were typically very snug on the legs and open at the crotch, with the genitalia simply hanging loose under the doublet. A shortening of the doublet resulted in often-exposed genitalia, so the codpiece came into being. As time passed, codpieces were shaped to emphasize the male genitalia and eventually often became padded and bizarrely shaped. Henry VIII of England began padding his own codpiece, which caused a spiraling trend of larger and larger codpieces that only ended by the end of the 16th Century. They also often doubled as pockets, handy carrying places for a variety of items.
Victorian times and the Industrial Revolution brought the "long underwear" phase. The standard undergarment of this period for men, women, and children was the Œunion suitˆ, which provided coverage from the wrists to the ankles. The union suits of the era were usually made of knitted material and included a drop flap in the back to ease visits to the toilet. Because the top and bottom were united as a one-piece garment it received the name Œunion suitˆ.
In 1920, Joe Cartledge the Owner and founderof the Guelph Elastic Hosiery Company invented the first jock strap or athletic supporter. The jock strap was marketed under the name Protex.
In the 1930s, union suits went out of favor and boxers and briefs became the 'vogue'. The 1930s saw another major innovation, that is easy elastic waists replaced button, snap, and tie closures. At around this time companies began selling buttonless drawers fitted with an elastic waistband, which were the first true boxer shorts. The name is derived from the shorts worn by professional fighters. The word "underpants" also entered the dictionary. Jockey' began making briefs in 1930 but it was not until 1934 with the advent of 'Jockey' Y-vent briefs that the design of menˆs underwear made a leap forward. It was the first time an easy-to-use diagonal vent was applied to boxers and briefs.
The History of Women's Underwear:
Prior to the 1700s, women wore a long shirt from shoulders to calves next to their skin, day and night, not underpants and other items common today. The rich and upper classes wore fancy versions, the rest simple ones. Only men wore pants as outer clothing, a symbol of their authority (in English we still say "so-and-so wears the pants in the family." It was believed unhealthy for women to wear closed pants because they thought genitals needed air to allow moisture to evaporate, which could otherwise cause them to decay.
Two tubes of cloth joined at the waist and open in the crotch formed the earliest women's underpants, around 1800, until bloomers were developed later in the century. Also it wasn't until nearly 1900 that women developed belts to collect menstuation, and that was only in the upper classes.
Panties, the girdle and garters came about in the 1920's with the shortening of skirts.
The Thong was first introduced in the 1939 World's Fair when New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia mandated that the city's nude dancers cover themselves, so a skimpy form of underwear was introduced. However, it did not become publically popular until it was incorporated into the designs of bikinis in the 1970s.
History of the Bra:
The Corset was started by Catherine de Médicis, wife of King Henri II of France in the 1500s as more of a waist-consticting device than a breast-constricting device. Banning the appearence of "thick" waists at court, she pushed the corset, an unhealthy and painful device made of whalebones and steel rods designed to narrow an adult women's waist to 13, 12, 11 and even 10 or less inches, starting a fashion trend of midriff torture which lasted over 350 years.
The corset was replaced by the first modern bra in 1913. Invented by New York socialite Mary Phelps Jacob, she designed the device after purchasing a sheer evening gown which was warped terribly by the corset's design. Whalebones poked out visibly around the plunging neckline and under the sheer fabric. Frustrated, Mary tied two silk handkerchiefs together with some pink ribbon an pattened it as a bra -an alternative to the corset. The corset's death finally rang out in 1917, when they were scrapped as a source of metal for WWI. The old corsets supplied the war effort with over 28,000 tons of metal.
The Class of Underwear:
"Centuries ago, underwear was only worn by the wealthiest of nobles. With the introduction of linen in the 18th century, lingerie elitism made way for mass under-wearing. In turn, the life expectancy of peasants sky-rocketed as they became significantly less prone to bacterial disease and infection. Of course the aristocracy swiftly drove underwear to new more expensive heights with corsets and bloomers of richer material. In fact, class is still delineating itself underneath our pants (Fruit-of-the-Loom bras go 3 for under $5 and Victoria's Secret bejeweled "Miracle Bra" is in excess of $1,000,000)."
LOL - I always get my underwear at Victoria's Secret. I guess that makes me an elitest.
