Take a quick look inside shops like Primark, ASDA, New Look or Tesco's underwear section, and you're bound to find some pairs of knickers with a pretty little bow on the front. Some people love them, while others find the bows unnecessary.
But why do so many pairs of pants have a bow on them? Obviously, they look nice, but are they really necessary?
According to Reddit, there are a number of reasons behind the bow – and shoppers have been surprised to discover them. Posting on the social media site, a person asked: “Why do so many panties have that little bow on the centre front? Where did the tradition come from?"
