Nope! The underwear in this era were split-crotch for easy access. Just spread the skirts out and squat.

It doesn’t do anything, and it also doesn’t do anything if you put it on your skin in the form of a lotion. It’s a marketing gimmick. It might definitely contain the ingredient! But it doesn’t actually do anything, it just sits there. People just know it’s a primary reason for youthful-looking skin, so if a supplement or lotion contains it, it must be extra-good for your skin.
