it always makes me cringe and a little nauseous. i 1000% prefer "underwear".
i cringe at it MUCH more when guys say it, rather than other women, especially in a sexual manner.
i feel like this could be something that stemmed from childhood since its the term my dad would always use and i just began to resent it more and more over time.
The biggest fight I've witnessed between my brother and SIL was over her and her family calling my toddler niece's underwear her "panties" lol
I remember as a kid fighting with my grandma about it too! She insisted girls have panties and I said it's underwear!! I think even then I was creeped out by the term because it seems to sexualize more. Like if you want to call it that for a mature woman go ahead, but why on a child??
Yes, there's just something icky and off about the word. Like its not offensive obviously, but its not a nice word. I prefer underwear, undies or knickers.
Me too! It's bc it's used as a derogatory remark….keep your panties on…it was a pantie dropper…lame work now
Panties sounds creepy and borderline paedophilic to me.
Yeah the word just feels creepy
I hate hate HATE that word. I'm a grown butt woman - I wear underwear, not "panties". "Undies" mayyyyybe. "Briefs" or "drawers" are fine, though. The P word is infantilizing.

Good curation of comments, we have the whole spectrum of takes here from "panties sexualizes underwear so it's gross when applied to what a child is wearing" to "panties infantilizes underwear so it's gross when it's applied to what a grown woman is wearing" being agreed with in roughly equal measure.

I feel like women hear one other woman get triggered by a normal word and instead of making fun of her they all adopt her neurosis as well.

It's this bizarre feeling of having to fit in and validate eachother
It goes back to how boys and girls bully. Boys bully you to your face, which gives a chance for lessons in standing up for yourself. Girls bully in a way where they don't even realized it's been happening until none of their friends are talking to them, so they're alot more afraid of rocking the boat

It's mostly used in a mildly sexual way from what I've heard but our pair of comments here is basically the Reddit comments summarized, without the outrage. It's obviously got different regional connotations.

What? I don't get this at all. I grew up understanding that underwear = undergarments for boys/men, while panties = undergarments for girls/women. I have never thought of the word as being sexual in nature, nor have I ever thought of it as being just for little girls, if you look at stores, the adult sized panties are clearly labeled "PANTIES" and always have been.
I have always seen the word "panties" as a strictly gendered label, and I assumed that's how everyone else saw the word as well
reading these comments is a trip.

I've always thought of women's underwear as a way to refer to both bra
and panties 
. Since it's two articles of clothing, each article had its own name. Men usually need one article of underwear so "underwear" is sufficient for them

How do people still argue over semantic word choices after "r-slur" was replaced with "special" and even a toddler could see why these arguments are completely worthless?
Theyre mad at the intent anyways, if men started using the word underwear in dirty talk, or if theyre parents had said "pick up your dirty underwear" instead of "pick up your dirty panties" theyd hate that word too
