I know but I hate the word panties. It is such a sexual word in my eyes and when said in stores or by teens or older people in general conversation in real world situations it's weird to me. I grew up in England where people say knickers. Now I live in Canada and the word is said normally which I find odd as its such a sexual word. when I'm out and about in real life and people say panties Im like what? That's what my girlfriend calls them or what they say in porno's. It's literally like saying cock or cunt instead of penis or vagina. Lol. But it is being used in a porn story so I don't mind lol. I should just keep my musings to myself.
I would hazard a guess that for any woman who attended an English school, the word 'knickers' brings to mind the dark blue serge variety. Substantial for gym. 'Gym knickers' And only slightly less substantial to be worn under a gymslip. Ekasticated at the waist and legs. A formidable barrier.

Thank god for panties. Plain white cotton from M and S for me.
