Since men and women are different in appearance and appearance, the things they use are also different. It is unthinkable for men to use things used by women and vice versa. But the truth is that some things that women now claim as theirs are actually made for men. Examples are handbags, high heels, bikinis, etc. How about getting to know some of those things?
Bikini
No one would believe that the bikini was once a men’s garment. Initially, it was used by men participating in sports such as swimming. The fact that these types of clothes do not interfere with sports activities as they only cover the genital area has added to the love of these for men. By 1570, bikinis were also worn by men in ancient Egypt and Greece. But in the meantime women realized the plus point of bikini. It was not making the infamous panty lines. With that they started using bikini. Gradually that too left the men. Now bikini is the sexy dress for women.
Bra hooks
The metal hooks found on the back of women’s undergarments, bras, were originally invented for men. It was used in ancient times to hold men’s underwear in place and to replace buttons on shirts. It was more useful when physical labor was required, such as in war. On December 19, 1871, Mark Twain received a patent for its manufacture and distribution. But later things went out of men’s hands. The hooks were not only taken over by the women but also attached to their only garment, the bra. In the meantime, men have found other ways to keep their underwear on their bodies. And with that the hooks were lost to men forever.
High heels
High heels, which have been owned and worn by women for ages, were once only for men. High heels are believed to have been first made for Persian soldiers in the 10th century. A horse was an indispensable thing in the battlefield at that time. Be on a galloping horse to shoot arrows and wield swords at your opponents. In addition to his incredible strength, he also had to be careful not to fall off his horse. Stirrups (equipment on which horsemen place their feet) on the outside of the gallop were used to stabilize the legs and help balance. High heels were used to prevent footwear from coming off the stirrups while balancing. There are records that King Louis XIV of France issued high heel shoes to male members of his cabinet.
As things went like this, women also started wearing high heels as part of the beauty concept. They were motivated to do this by making the back end more attractive. Seeing that it was good, more women started using it. But women’s high heels were less wide than men’s. As time went by, women patented high heels. By the 18th century, men were abandoning high heels forever, simply because women were using them more.
Hand bag
In the olden days, clothes did not have pockets. Back then, men used small bags to store money as well as valuables and weapons for self-defense. It was hung on the hand or tied around the waist. After a while, women started using smaller bags to carry their sewing tools and other things than the bags used by men. And some decorations were done on it. It quickly became a trend among women. With this, men lost their handbags forever.
Pads
Pads used by women during menstruation were also first made for men. It was used for soldiers who were wounded in battle. The soldiers could easily dress themselves without blood and other stains on their clothes by making cotton and tying it in a special way. Such cotton was produced in large quantities during the war. An experiment conducted by some female nurses assigned to care for wounded soldiers made the pads alien to men. They promoted its use during menstruation as it was found to absorb blood significantly. More and more women started using it. After realizing the marketing potential, companies started producing more of these.
