Check Out These Things’ Hidden Purpose We Had No Clue About

The secret pocket in your underwear is there for hygiene reasons

Most people’s underwear contains a hidden pocket and many are so used to it that they do not even realize it is there. But what exactly is the function of that pocket? Well, the main function of that credit card-sized pocket in the crotch lining of your underwear has finally been revealed, and people love it.

First off, this ‘pocket’ in your underwear is not meant to be used for storage, and it is not there for decoration or extra protection in the event of a wardrobe malfunction, either. The reasons behind the pocket are mainly for hygiene. The ‘pocket’ is actually a small piece of fabric called the ‘gusset,’ and it is there to provide breathability, reinforcement, and moisture-wicking.
