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 remarkโฆ.keep your panties onโฆit was a pantie dropperโฆlame 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.
