First things first, when we first got this question, we assumed people wear asking why we needed pockets in our underwear and what we would put in them. We then realized, that is not what this question is about at all! They were asking why there was a pocket in the crotch of underwear. This is isn't a pocket at all, rather it is a flap of fabric for hygiene!

Shortlettes or underwear with pockets for women do exist at Undersummers. We have 5 styles which feature waist and/or leg pockets. These shorts slip are women's panties or underwear shorts for under dresses.

Shorts to wear under dresses are an anti chafing short to stop thigh chafing for women. They eliminate panty lines and keep legs cool, dry, and most importantly chafe free during the heat and intense activity.

Pockets in underwear can be used for many purposes. The waist pocket is perfectly designed to keep a room key, keys, and small phone or even an insulin pump secure. Waist pockets can also be used to keep tampons or other women's essentials.

Leg pockets are a great place in undershorts to secure your phone, money, chapstick, and keys when wearing dresses and skirts. This allows you to keep your hands free and avoid carrying a purse.

Pockets in underwear are also a great travel feature to keep your passport, ID, and money securely hidden while wearing a dress or skirt.
