The history of the underwear
The history of the underwear from the fig leaf to underpants
According to the Bible, Adam and Eva still used very natural products: they are said to have covered themselves out of shame with fig leaves so that nobody could see the genitals anymore. The idea of the underwear was born.
It was quite so natural with the Romans, because they already wore other clothes and no longer just wanted to protect the genitals from unpleasant looks. Under the Toga, the Roman surface of the fabric, men wore a cloth, the subligaculum, which covered their genitals. How continues the history of the underwear?
