What do you call your underwear?

[FrannyandZooey]

We say pants, for boys' and girls', but confusingly I find myself calling ds's "pantie pants" just because everything ends up having an "ie" on the end of it.

Do you wear pants, or knickers? Or something else?

[tortoise]

Pants for the boys
Knickers(knick knicks by dd1!) for girls.

[Bozza]

DH - boxers (but I sometimes call them underpants to annoy him)
me - knickeres
DS - pants
DD - pants, sometimes knickers

Generically we might use pants for anybody.

[hulababy]

Pants

[TambaIsBadBadBad]

I wear knickers
the boys wear pants

DS1 thinks bras are called knickers though so gets confusing.

[Cappucino]

pants or knickers

alarmingly, this even applies to dh

[FrannyandZooey]

"Generically we might use pants for anybody."

is making me larf for some reason

did you mean to put "knickeres", Bozza? I doubt it which is a shame. It sounds very flamboyant.

[mustrunmore]

Me... knickers
ds1... knickers
dh... daddy's knickers, but boxers if no ds1 listening, and dh calls them underpants (yuck).

[FrannyandZooey]

I am hoping to uncover a new MN word for pants along the lines of "norks" or "fanjo", tbh. However so far I am just relieved you are not all saying "fanny wrappers" or something.

[Posey]

The boys always wear "pants", me and dd wear "pants" or "knickers"

[Gobbledigook]

Boys - pants/underpants
Me - knickers
Dh - boxers

[Bozza]

No I didn't mean to put the extra 'e' - obviously a combination of a day out in the sun and a couple of glasses of wine is taking its toll.

By the generic thing - I meant if I had a basketful of mixed underwear I would just say "it's pants and socks" - or if we were going somewhere "we need to take clean pants", that sort of thing.

Everyone here wears pants. Except DD (who wears a nappy )

[Mercy]

dd and I wear knickers, dh wears boxers or shorts (ds still wears nappies).

dh gets confused because he still sometimes says pants to mean trousers.

[expatinscotland]

knickers.

dh says he wears boxers.

[imaginaryfriend]

knickers for me and dd
pants for dp

... Do you wear Franny-wrappers?

[Gobbledigook]

PC - even ds3 calls his nappy 'pants' - he wears pull ups

[FrannyandZooey]

Well we are all quite dull aren't we? A rogue 'e' has added the only frisson of excitement so far

[noddyholder]

boxers for boys knickers for girls

[PiccadillyCircus]

Actually, DS's night time pants are pullups (but they wouldn't be called nappies ).

DD is a little young to be calling her nappies anything just yet .

[MrsSpoon]

Me - Knickers
DH - Punders
DSs - Pants

[Norah]

Me and dd wear pants, dh wears grundies or sometimes grits ! I don't know why - boarding school ??

[wheresmyfroggy]

A friend of mine from Aberdeen calls them "skunts" he claims it is local dialect but i am not so sure.

[MrsJohnCusack]

Me - Pants
DH - kecks
DD - nappies

[MrsSpoon]

LOL wheresmyfroggy, skants is another common one in Scotland.
