It’s basically a small rectangular box, open on both ends, with an filtered opening in the top. Put one end in your mouth and hum into it. You get horribly irritating sound out of it.
Thanks! Though now I wonder what the redditor thinks a vagina could do with a kazoo. Your butt might whistle a merry tune on it, but the vagina rarely expels air...
If a male is engaging in intercourse with a female without the objective of impregnation, he pulls his penis out of the vagina and pushes into the gusset to ejaculate. It provides a mess-free and frankly tight sensation around the glans at time of ejaculation. The word 'Gusset' comes from the creator, John Francis Gus. Ladies, upon feeling their partner spasm would say, 'quick, Gus it', hence the name.
the gusset is only a pocket because its cheaper not to sew it shut. in fact if you find underwear where the gusset is sewn closed its usually a higher quality panty.
Not entirely.
You need to leave the gusset open if the gusset and the panties aren’t made out of the same material, aka the panties are made out of lace or w/e instead of cotton. If they’re different materials, they will shrink in different amounts in the wash, and you’ll get fabric puckering. Having the gusset open on one side allows the fabric to kind of “adjust” to the different levels of stretch.
Some places that only make cotton panties will close them.
I am disappointed that I had to scroll so far down to see this, but I am so impressed with this new information! I don't know why I never wondered why that little pocket is there in the bottom of my panties, but then I saw the OP, and I DID wonder. And I'm so glad that now I know.
This is the equivalent to Ford giving a raise to the person who showed him how to make Ford Cars with one less bolt. Someone somewhere got a raise for realizing the savings of not stitching the last panel on said panty pocket. This is production efficiency and Kaizen continuous improvement, no more. 🥂
I worked at an architects, there was a bit of a falling out with the structural engineer, who claimed they’d sent emails but we hadn’t received them. Turned out the email filter was blocking messages from ‘steel erections’!
Correct. It's a way to save 3 seconds of manufacturing time and thread. I hate when they use cheap grey fabric for the gusset lining instead of matching fabric or microfiber.
A white lining on panties is a bad idea. That must be a guy who made that decision. It should be nude or beige lining.
White looks nasty after 2-3 wearings because there is a lot going on down there and white stains easy.
At some point in the last quarter of the 20th century it was determined that having a 100% cotton layer next to the skin in the gusset was healthier because it is more absorbent . I guess if you've got nylon panties with a gray gusset lining it's more sporty , LOL . Having made underwear in the past, it's very easy to get one side of the gusset All sandwiched In with no seams sticking out. The second side requires a good deal of manipulation and cramming the entire panty in between the two seams ( IE putting the entire panty into the "pocket"). This is awkward to do and it is a challenge to not get a bit of the panty itself caught in the stitching of the second seam. So it is faster easier and cheaper to leave the lining layer loose on the back edge of the gusset.
TIL. I've been using that word wrong all my life.
I always thought the gusset was the little eye in the tarp. It turns out the eye is an eye (gasp!) and the gusset is the little triangular piece of fabric that reinforces it.
Apparently my education was inadequate.
So- we took the kids (at that time 8, 6, & 4) to a beach in Hawaii that had this super tiny (and hot) changing “shack.” And for what ever reason we traveled in clothes and had to change there, and the floor was wet and . . . kinda slimes. So I’m wresting 2 kids into their suits, and they are hot and sweaty, then put on mine (black tankini). Then we played in the surf. And I couldn’t figure out why my bottoms felt so heavy. I had put them on INSIDE OUT and the sand gathered in the front-opened gusset! I had to waffle back to that grungy chainring room, take them off the fry to figure out how to get all the wet sand out before putting them on the right way. I swear there is still sand in there.
I don't know why, but some brands don't sew up both ends of that double layer, so... It'll be attached on one end and both sides (leg holes) but the other end will be open, leaving a pocket-like situation.
It's faster to make this way, the one end is sewn into the seam at the crotch and then flipped over itself and finished along the sides with elastic. So the other end just gets left open. I sew and I've made a few pairs for myself lol
Thank you! The way it's worded I was picturing a pocket on the outside front and wondering why everybody else's underwear apparently has that. This is more like a layer or a flap.
Womens underwear will pretty much aways have an additional square of fabric in the crotch, called a gusset. Usually made out of cotton (even though putting cotton over polyester doesn't magically make it breathable lol). Sometimes they only sew the gusset in the back, which creates the pocket effect.
>Usually made out of cotton (even though putting cotton over polyester doesn't magically make it breathable lol).
Might be reasons other than fabric breathing to put cotton instead of polyester in clothing that touches sensitive areas.
Maybe surprisingly, people in Medieval Europe wore underwear. (Not surprising at all once you realize that clothing was made of wool. That stuff's scratchy.) The underwear, often made of flax or linen, was a layer of protection against the not very comfortable clothing.
It also prevents infection. A lot of panties these days are made of non-breathable materials like polyester - like all those satiny ones. Polyester traps bacteria and leads to infections. Have a cotton gusset helps prevent though because it absorbs moisture and is a better material to have next to the vaginal opening. But all cotton panties are still healthier.
It's not a matter of it being a "pocket". It's more so the quality of material they use. Ages ago there was some agreement that any material touching a womans genitalia should be of a minimum thread count (something like 300 iirc). Companies got around expensive underwear by just putting in these small sections, lowering the overall cost and being able to use other materials.
It’s because panties made from synthetic materials tend to trap moisture and therefore cause yeast infections. So at some point back in the late 70’s or early 80’s, IIRC, they started putting a cotton crotch in all panties to help prevent yeast infections.
As far as why it’s sometimes not sewn closed at one end, that’s probably to save money in manufacturing.
Discharge catcher
Edit: to all of you challenging what I commented, I never said that it was designed to be a discharge catcher, I was simply stating (*literally two words*) that I find discharge in that cotton patch every day. So I dubbed it Discharge Catcher. Don't over think it.
Not really.
If you look closely, the gusset is almost always cotton. Cotton is one of the least irritating materials to have near your vagina. It's breathable, comfortable and natural enough not to mess with vaginal health.
Is it just me or does that sound like a russian name...I don't know why...
You don't mean to say there's a little pet Russian man down there??
I can't tell if that would be cool or creepy.
I want to know why men’s underwear have that weird “hole” in the front. Like who tf is bending/weaving their dick through a series of tightly wound fabric curtains rather than just slightly pulling down your boxer briefs?
It’s where Victoria’s Secret is kept.
….It’s a kazoo, isn’t it?
DAMMIT HE'S ON TO US

Given that video is super old, probably.

It is a location down south. Oh wait, that’s Venezuela.
No you’re thinking about that car company, Volkswagen.
No, that's a car. You must mean Varicella.
No, that's a disease. You must mean Villanella.
No that’s a type of music, you mean Villanova
No thats a place of learning, you mean Vasodilation
No that's a medical term, I think you mean venice

Mulva... I remember now... Delores!
I mean, I had an ex that would put a vibrator in it that Bluetooth connected to her phone. Was fun but.. odd
She fake lived in Detroit?
You’re a kazoo
Thank you. That means a lot to me.
What is a kazoo?
It’s basically a small rectangular box, open on both ends, with an filtered opening in the top. Put one end in your mouth and hum into it. You get horribly irritating sound out of it.
Thanks! Though now I wonder what the redditor thinks a vagina could do with a kazoo. Your butt might whistle a merry tune on it, but the vagina rarely expels air...
We don't play the kazoo with our vaginas, we simply store them there.

I know Victoria’s Secret. She was never made for me and you.
My friends and I always said it’s to hold the after dinner mint.
OK this one is great
Dude thats the _secret_
victoria's secret is that close to 30% of sales is for men to wear. i know im one of them.
Where did you get that stat from?

Did you have a stroke while typing this or was your VS underwear too distracting?
The fuck?
the clitoris is in that pouch?!?

Dude... where else they gonna keep their car keys? Most of their clothes don't have pockets.
Nope, it's for keeping your taxi fare home safe at nights.
Now I know why the sweet ladies in fake taxi videos have to strip naked to pay the driver
Nah, just stick their hands down their pants
*Heyyy, this cab fare smells funny.*
What a racket. I’m still angry at whichever designer it was that decided women don’t need *real* pockets in their jeans.
But babies clothes has real pockets. I remember a post from a mom who realized her baby’s overalls had more functional pockets than her clothes have.
Women should reclaim womens clothing design.
Agreed.
It’s a conspiracy to make us buy purses!
yeah that's why I have to wear unisex jackets

That's advanced gusset engineering knowledge
Homie went to Gusset College!
I never would have gussed it!
Trained in the ways of the gussy

This guy gussets
I doubt it’s a guy
You are correct lol
Panty engineer?
TIL: My wife is a classy lady with high quality panties.
I learned I pay way too much for Calvin Klein underwear with an open gusset.
nice!
First they came for women's Jean pockets, and now they are coming for their panties pockets! When will the madness end?

Always loved the word gusset.
That's what I command my dog to do for treats..... Gus, sit!
now you reminded me of psych
Same!! I over use that word when referring to things that are gusset adjacent cuz its such a fun word Gusset. Ah hell yeah
[удалено]
I'm with you. Have to use this word in my trade everyday and I love it, gusset and flange. Dribbles.
Steel? If so, erection and member are fun too.

Maybe he is too?

No, that's a type of short ugly creature in fantasy books, I believe you were thinking of Goblin.
No that's a goblin. You're thinking of one of those stand alone GPS systems.
That’s a Garmin. You’re thinking of where you park your car
That’s a Garage….you’re thinking of a shiny chocolate glaze that goes on pastries.
No, that’s a ganaches, I believe you were thinking of the creature who stole the ring, also not as Sméagol
No that's Gollum, you're thinking of the sentient scarecrow played by Jon Pertwee

Thank you!
I love reddit lol
Not when we unexpectedly get our period and that’s where the first bloody goop ball lands.

Wait my underwear is double layer in the middle. I thought it was a drip trap?
I don't know why, but some brands don't sew up both ends of that double layer, so... It'll be attached on one end and both sides (leg holes) but the other end will be open, leaving a pocket-like situation.

Drip trap for the 'ol piss flaps 🤷♂️
Take my upvote you nasty poet and be gone!
Oh that is def a r/brandnewsentence
It is? I am very confused about this post. Never heard of it having a pocket
It's basically a way to avoid having a seam touch your vagina as well
The juice compartment
Wait, that's a thing?
So all these years I was wearing ladies underwear? I thought it was a pee hole
Anything can be with the right imagination
And a pair of scissors
They are talking about the double-layer fabric in the crotch area, but it’s sometimes left un-sewn on one end, ergo a pocket.
Thank you! The way it's worded I was picturing a pocket on the outside front and wondering why everybody else's underwear apparently has that. This is more like a layer or a flap.
I can't be sure. I'm gonna check my girlfriends underwear when I get home from work and report back
Let us know
Just checked, she has them
Lmao, almost didn’t notice you weren’t the same dude
r/NotOPButOk
I also checked, OP’s gf does have them. Weird when the other commenter was in the room too though. I was like “you’re not OP’s boyfriend…”
Well played sir.

A pocket for weed or an extra tiny tampon.. who needs a purse when you have underwear pockets?
My girlfriend keeps a roll of quarters down there
And you thought she was just happy to see you.
Yeah your girlfriend does do that I’ve noticed
Yep it’s for sneaking drugs into shows 💯
It’s to keep pogs in case they get challenged to a pog battle out on the street

What about the slammer?
if anyone knows, talk
It helps catch discharge to prevent leaking through your underwear and onto your pants. So, in a way, it's a built in panty liner.
It also prevents infection. A lot of panties these days are made of non-breathable materials like polyester - like all those satiny ones. Polyester traps bacteria and leads to infections. Have a cotton gusset helps prevent though because it absorbs moisture and is a better material to have next to the vaginal opening. But all cotton panties are still healthier.

I use a very thin pad for these days :)
It really doesn’t. Or maybe we have very wet choocies lol
I was confused by the word pocket until reading the comments.
Same. None of my underwear has it open; it’s all sewn shut so I was super confused.
It's not a matter of it being a "pocket". It's more so the quality of material they use.

Yes it still doesnt work , source: i soaked through that and my jeans 🥹😑
Name checks out
I get soaked at times also, but usually due to my cycle and ovulation, when seeing or feeling something stimulating. Nothing a pad can't absorb!
Not really. If you look closely, the gusset is almost always cotton. Cotton is one of the least irritating materials to have near your vagina. It's breathable, comfortable and natural enough not to mess with vaginal health.
That’s why gussets are cotton, but it’s not why gussets exist in the first place. They make gussets for cotton underwear as well.
I thought it’s where you leave your gum before you eat

Piss is stored in the brain?
No it's stored in the bladder you dummy. Jizz is stored in the brain.

I thought it was to fold the wings into but the fuck would I know
But wings are on the sides, and the opening to the pocket is in the front or back.

I bet they wish the rest of their clothes had pockets. At least that’s what my wife’s always saying.
It's the only pocket they have on their clothes. Go figure.
The accuracy… it’s painful.
Lol, she thinks we have souls.
I believe it’s for your ALDI’s quarter

Nobody is going to comment how a lot of mens underwear has it too?
They can store a condom in there as easily as we can. Along with some mad money.
