First everyday close-fitting
underpants sold in the Sears, Roebuck
catalog (1935)
The American Sears, Roebuck and
Company didn't sell women's briefs -
short, tight underpants - for everyday
wear through its catalog until 1935
(above), although similar briefs
for menstruating women were available
in 1922. The style may have been
developed from babies' diapers.
