So why don't men's underwear still have a bow?
Because our society doesn't value men wearing pretty things
i value men wearing pretty things
especially thigh high socks and skirts and crop tops
:3

Because women buy more underwear with bows than without. And men buy more underwear without bows. Economics, Watson.
Men aren't given a choice because there is no mens underwear with bows.
Want to buy?
Yesssssssssssssss
More like these please, fucken sexy lol
Men’s underclothes today do not bear basically any similarities with those of the time before modern fabrics and garment construction methods. Women’s downstairs undergarments (bras are effectively completely new) are also significantly changed, but still share numerous visual and structural similarities with their precursors.
That bras are new is a common misconception.
The history of fashion is a quite old and well-developed academy. That these garments are notable is an exception which proves the rule.
Men aren't willing to pay more for underwear with an olde fashioneded decoration.
Because men's fashion in general is boring as fuck.
