B.V.D.s. There is no doubt about the origin of B.V.D.s. The initials do not derive from the words “Boys Ventilated Draw- ers” or any such humorous phrase. B.V.D.s comes from the initials of the three men (Bradley, Voorhies, and Day) who founded, in 1876, the company that makes them. B.V.D. is a trademark and cannot be legally used to describe the product of any other company, though it is often used, unlawfully, as a generic term for underwear. Beeveedees is a variant spelling that is recorded in print as early as 1915.
