Women's knickers come in a variety of shapes, sizes and qualities. For example, you have the patch of a material held on by bum crack string, sensible knickers because I'm not a tart and knickers made from the undercarriage of a Vulcan bomber.

This is true of men’s underwear too, from the sensible but pouting briefs, to steel re-enforced bullet proof y-fronts to the I might be chubby but I still feel athletic boxer shorts and I look good - yes I do.
