Best Answer

Bloomers are a type of loose panty with drawstring or elastic leg and waist which are gathered to fit the wearer. They were/are also known as drawers, panties, knickers, or unmentionables.

They are named after Amelia Bloomer, an early women's rights activist who popularized them as a modest alternative for restrictive clothing of the 1800's. The advantage of them was that women could participate in outdoor activities without exposing an undue amount of skin. Bike riding, horseback riding, and other outdoor activities could be done without being immodest.
