Are we really still calling them

[meladeso]

"Pantyliners"?!

Wtf - Panties?

Who says that? What is that?

Something American teenagers and coy older ladies say?

I call them knicker wafers.

I always say pantliners if that helps? Not that I say it often.

what do you want to call them. G-String decoration?

Why not? I wear pants. These things line them. Pantyliners slides off the tongue just that little bit easier than pantliners. Who cares?
YABU

I call them sanitary towels

Fanny pads.

Do American teenagers really call them that considering that in America "pants" means English trousers?

The word 'panties' is so prissy and twee and American. So sickly. So I'm with you on this. I just call them liners if I have to refer to them, although it's not something that ever really comes up in conversation anyway really.

I also never use 'pants' for women's underwear - to me it just sounds so jolly-hockey-sticks, middle-class PE teacherish. I always say knickers.

In America, pants = trousers, underpants or shorts = pants and panties = knickers. So yes, women in America do say panties. Tights in America are called pantyhose.

Knicker wafers 😂 I just woke my toddler up laughing at that!

I think pantliners are different to sanitary towels though.

ok polly. you got me there. still think it's a bit of a crap thing to worry about tho!

Pantyliners here I'm afraid. They are different to sanitary towels.

Meh, pantyliners is fine. Names for things often don't make sense. Pantsliners sounds wierd.

I don't think I've ever called them anything, who ever actually talks about pantyliners?

What are we supposed to call them though? Knicker stickers? Sanpro is different from liners.

What do you prefer then?

Fanny pads here too.

Pads.

I quite like the pp knicker wafers. I shall add that to my list.

Anything with the word 'panty' in it makes my ears vomit.

I live in the US and just cant say panties, here grown women use the word and it just makes me cringe. Since I cant say pants without everyone completely misunderstanding me and my dcs, we have compromised on using the term underwear, which covers both sexes and all varieties.

gusset guards?

'Panties' sounds Page 3 to me.

My DC call them wookie stickers.

I'll never forget someone on here calling them knicker stickers, can't remember who it was though grin

Aye I liked that
