This small pocket, which is not there by chance, is in fact a lining that is used to preserve the woman’s intimate hygiene. It is designed to protect this area from bacteria and prevent their proliferation. For better protection, doctors prefer cotton panties that contain this small pocket.
Protection against bacteria and infections
As explained, the pouch helps to preserve female intimate hygiene, as bacteria grow rapidly in the mucous membranes, altering the vaginal flora and causing local infectious diseases.
According to the National College of French Gynaecologists and Obstetricians, standard hygiene rules are quite limited. Hands should be washed before any contact with intimate parts, the vulva and anal parts should be washed at least once or twice a day and underwear made of natural materials such as cotton should be preferred.
However, vaginal douching is not recommended. They promote the growth of pathogens and unbalance the vaginal flora. Indeed, the vagina has a “normal flora” characterized by a great bacterial diversity and composed of microorganisms called “Döderlein flora”
which helps to keep the vaginal mucosa healthy. When the normal balance is disturbed, an infection can result. This intimate and delicate area must be the focus of all attention.

Although these pockets preserve intimate hygiene, other measures are also to be taken into account:
– The choice of underwear
– Wash no more than twice a day
– Avoid soaps
Tips and precautions for good intimate hygiene:
-Change underwear daily,
– After rinsing the vulvo-vaginal area (don’t forget the folds and the clitoral cap), thoroughly dry the entire area,
– Wash the anal area last to prevent germs and infections from slipping into the vaginal area (and always wipe back and forth),
– Wash underwear at a temperature of 60°C or higher,
– After sexual intercourse, always wash your hands and genitals,
– During your period, change your towel or tampon frequently (do not exceed 4 to 6 hours),
– Use soaps without colouring or perfumes and avoid antiseptics and disinfectants that unbalance the flora,
– Cut thick pubic hair short to avoid odour problems,
– Do not wear tight clothing and underwear,
– Avoid wearing synthetic fabrics.
Now you know what this little “pocket” is for, you can tell your friends, and try to buy panties with one first!
You are a woman and you wear underwear regularly (we hope)? I don’t know if you may have noticed, but most of your panties have a small inside pocket. But why do you think that is?
In conducting your investigation, you may have noticed that some of your panties lacked the famous pocket. You may also have discovered that male underwear is also deprived of it.
The mystery thickens. Is this pocket to hide banknotes, is it to put a mini sanitary napkin in it? That nenni.
This bag has a hygienic function, it is there to preserve your health!
This pocket is simply a double layer (preferably made of non-synthetic fabric): since the panties are usually sewn in one piece, a second piece of fabric must be sewn on to the first to make a double layer, hence the “pocket” aspect.
This double thickness plays a fundamental role in preserving women’s intimate hygiene. Bacteria grow very quickly in the mucous membranes and alter the vaginal flora. Synthetic fabrics such as polyester do not protect these mucous membranes from friction (and therefore irritation) and sweating, hence the importance of double fabric.
But it should be noted that the most sensual underwear does not have this double layer. That’s why they’re not supposed to be worn for more than a few hours.
You can’t fool around with your health, even for a crazy evening!
This is a question that all girls have asked themselves at least once in their lives, what is the use of the pocket in their pants? Because yes, it is a crucial question and the reason why and how it will be answered.
The why…
Before I was asked this question, I always thought that this little pocket was used to put on panty liners. But at the same time I didn’t understand how this was possible. Let me explain. For those who don’t know, all the panties have like a double bottom open only on the front of the panties. The other three sides are sewn.
And that’s exactly what was bothering me. How to insert a slip protector between the two pieces of fabric if they are sewn on 3 sides. How to insert it correctly? And if it was enough to install the protection, why use a lining? And last but not least, why is this lining present in swimsuits? Because for me it is inconceivable to go to the pool with hygienic protection.
… of how
In fact, the reason is quite different. The pocket in the panties is used to protect the vaginal flora. Indeed, the pubis produces a large number of bacteria and this cotton pouch allows them to be absorbed.
But at the same time the pocket in the panties prevents the genitalia from rubbing against a synthetic material. In short, this cotton lining is very important for the maintenance of the vaginal flora but also for comfort.
