Could be wrong, but it looks like a Yaktrax kinda thing. They're made to stretch over your shoe and give you extra grip when it's icy outside.

Winner. 5 minutes
Sweet!
I didn't expect it to be SFW
Yep. Looks like underwear and the pants off frame make it super misleading
🤣
BTW those aren't very good. Get the ones that have actual cleats.
Had a similar model, can confirm
Level 35 Steel Armor (Female)
... You're not wrong
Microspikes for hiking in icy conditions
Correct. More for just being outside in icy conditions. Good for boots.
Someone beat you by 30 seconds.
Yeah I’ve used them to good effect on winter hikes in the mountains.
Dang, so close to glory.
Crampons, put them on your shoes to keep from falling on ice.
Sounds like the really unpleasant sibling of the tampon.
A crazy thong?
An ouchy thong.
Randomly found one in the wild right after seeing this post.
I use these, much better
I stole this image from the internet. Loved it since they look like underwear and are laying next to pants.
Super misleading
Those are definitely trap underwear
Water bottle holder for bicycle?
Edit: Nope.
I mean you might be able to swing that.
