Ann Summers Knicker Party


Knickers in the 19th Century


Women did not wear knickers until about 1800. Until then the only underwear women wore was a long garment like a nightie. It was called a chemise or a shift. From the Middle Ages men wore linen shorts but until the end of the 18th century it was not considered seemly for women to wear undergarments apart from a chemise. However after about 1800 women also wore drawers. Sometimes they came to below the knee or sometimes they were longer garments with frills at the bottom called pantalettes. However by the 1830s only girls wore pantalettes. Women wore drawers.


Today we still say a pair of knickers or a pair of panties. That is because in the early 19th century women's underwear consisted to two separate legs joined at the waist. They really were a 'pair' of knickers.

I don't personally sell them! Someone from the ann summers company brings a few things to show the guests & people can order from the catalogue, called a party because you have food, drink & a good time! Play games, have a laugh! Sounds like many of you don't know what it is

What can you expect when you open with "I know this is a bit weird..." Maybe you should have started with Tupperware and worked your way up.

    • What jab?  I had them many years ago to little or no effect.  I never went for the allergy testing where they jab you with various pollens to work out what sets you off.   Rely of tablets nowadays, so much better than the old days of piriton which sent me to sleep. June use to be hell from mid teens.
