How it's used
Safety shorts are typically made of thin, stretchy, and breathable fabric like spandex or cotton blends. They are distinct from underwear because they are designed specifically to be worn as an extra layer of protection under skirts or dresses. People often choose neutral colors like black, white, or nude to ensure they remain discreet.

Do not confuse this with 底褲, which refers to underwear. Using the wrong term can lead to awkward misunderstandings as one is an outer layer for modesty while the other is intimate apparel.
