Why do guys call women’s underwear panties?

[meghancourtade]

I’ve noticed only guys call them panties why

[i1T2daty]

i've never hear them referred to as anything but panties. It may be an age thing in that girls wear underwear and women wear panties but I don't really know. I've always heard girls call them panties as well

[meghancourtade]

No one I know does it except for guys

[jimyee]

Everyone calls them panties...

[meghancourtade]

No sir

[jimyee]

I literally posted a picture of Victoria's secret web site which clearly calls them panties and you are going to argue it? You are either Insane or a troll. Probably both.

[TrixiePooch]

In France they call them scanties, but in US they are panties.

[DaChillCookie]

I have no idea. I personally hate it. Like, what the fuck?

[Haaps]

I thought everyone called them that

[MeowMeowInc]

... you don't?

[meghancourtade]

No ma’am

[MeowMeowInc]

Huh, weird.

[kaewk]

Everyone I know says "panties"
I hate the word so much, makes me want to scream.

[ilovepanties]

my wife calls them panties

[ShesAmerican]

I call them panties. Panties sound.. cute.

[Cricket74]

Marketing. It's a separation of the sexes. Even child girls have panties. Just the way it is.

[Sophie15]

I call them thongs lol

[OldDad]

It's not just guys. But they are also bloomers, knickers, underwear (boring), boy shorts, etc.

[Gedaria]

You will find its more the advertisers that call them that.. Me I call them knickers...

[Wifflesnoofer63]

Isn't that what they've always been called?

[meghancourtade]

Definitely not

[Wifflesnoofer63]

That's how they are listed in department stores.

[McDoubleBang]

Cause it's more feminine way of saying girls underwear instead of underwear. If you type underwear on Google it will give you both men and woman. But if type panties it gives you only girls pictures. So it's a little more specific.

[AdmiralBailey]

I call them cum diapers

[meghancourtade]

No cap you’re funny

[_Senpai]

Because it sounds more sexy

[meghancourtade]

Definitely not

[_Senpai]

Yes...

[meghancourtade]

How?

[_Senpai]

Just sound it out vs Lingerie and underwear. Panty is by far the most naughty word among the three. Hey, baby you look sexy in those underwear... (barf) Hey, baby you look sexy in that lingerie... (barf) Hey, baby you look sexy in those pantys. mmmmm

[meghancourtade]

That sounds disgusting

[_Senpai]

You sound disgusting

[meghancourtade]

Yes sir I do

[laughinglad999]

in uk we call them knickers

[weaverman]

What do girls call them?

[Anonymous]

Google

[Anonymous]

Girl calls them that too. I don't know. Maybe to denote which gender it is?

[meghancourtade]

No girls do not

[Opinion Owner]

I mean if you look it up, isn't that what they're marketed as. I looked up Victoria secret.

[meghancourtade]

Yeah but no girls do it

[Opinion Owner]

I mean based off the comments, I don't think your statement is entirely accurate.
