Women's panties have their origins in the 1920's when bloomers (long underwear) became shorter and looser as the flapper look came into fashion. The panties of this time were called step-ins. When shopping for skimpy lingerie, keep in mind that skimpy can be tasteful and sexy at the same time. Skimpy lingerie is meant to create fantasy and intrigue and accentuate your best body parts and features. Skimpy lingerie is not meant to provide support or maximum coverage. It simply adds to what you already have and is merely for show.
