Why does underwear come in resealable packs?

[Bontanics]

Has anyone ever put them back into that bag?

I think because people seem to open the packs in store to look at them. I have never felt the need but some people clearly do!

I always buy single knickers off a hanger or a rack, or 2 matching pairs with a new bra. Mainly because l don’t want someone else deciding what mix of colours l want. So no packs involved, resealable or otherwise. But whenever l see packs of anything in a shop, it has often been opened and items have been taken out. I suppose it’s a case of people wanting to know about the feel of the fabric, cut etc.

Yes to see what fabric is like (new green cotton feels like microfibres dish cloth no thanks)! or where lace is and the cut. Some seem cut crouch so narrow the days and can’t tell from the picture.

Some shops a size 12 is massive (marks) others I need a 16!
