What really needs to be taken away from this is that Aerith is a natural born thot that is impure and seeks to take Cloud away from the innocent and sweet Tifa.

Tifa is not innocent. She's been trying to seduce Cloud from day one. That pair of "orthopedic underwear" hidden in her drawer is a mis-translation of what was originally underwear that carried the connotation of being slightly too mature for her age (given the flashback, she would have been fifteen or sixteen). What kind of underwear is conspicuously mature for a teenager? Sexy lingerie. Why did she buy the sexy lingerie? Use your eyes sweetie.

That said, Aerith was originally written to have been the more worldly and less delicate of the two, and was openly flirtatious and teasing towards Cloud (even though she wasn't actually interested in him). At least until Square's design team changed hands in the early aughts and they went total Madonna-whore complex. They essentially canonized her as the patron Saint of the Earth, cloying purity, chase love, and wholesome virginal sisterly maturity.
