What is why are they called boyshorts?

Boyshorts are named after traditional men's shorts, which are typically cut straight across the bottom edge of the fabric and are loose-fitting. The shorts get their name because boyshorts generally have a similar shape and cut as men's shorts. They have a low-rise waistline and a straight cut across the bottom, which creates a comfortable, snug fit similar to shorts. However, they are designed specifically for women, with feminine details and various fabric options, providing a comfortable and stylish underwear and swimwear option.
