The history of underpants in Quebec
Being a zero waste company from Quebec, the desire to use the term "menstrual underwear" was great. Instead, menstrual panties appeared in their more classic form with restraint. But, where does this famous “bobette” come from? From the word "bob" which means short in English and the suffix "ette" which is used in French to mean a smaller object. The use of the word bobette is well anchored in the culture in Quebec. However, it was only in 2013 that Le Robert authorized the addition of the “bobette” in its dictionary. A term, however, little used by the rest of the Francophonie. We must therefore be proud of the familiar word bobette since it is 100% Quebec. It is thanks to Quebec that the underwear exists!
