In cases where highly visible panties is unintentional, I think part of the problem is that the lighting conditions in your average bedroom don't come close to replicating either natural sunlight or the much brighter (and different "colour") lighting of modern shops and offices.
A quick check in the mirror looking over your shoulder when you're still half asleep doesn't prove anything
What's the big difference between knickers, bikini or shorts? It's a bit sad to get excited by a glimpse of knickers.
It's not a good look however. A few people do it like its a fashion look like the shorts and tights look but the majority just look as if they were too lazy to look in the mirror before heading out.
Is it me or is it just blatantly obvious that companies only sell thin leggins, so the consumer has no choice but buy thin leggins? If companies used a different material or made them thicker, they wouldn't be see through.
I've seen younger women wearing these in my local town.
Must admit the first time i had a 'double take' as i thought the girl i saw was just wearing a pair of tights! But i've seen a few now. They look good as long as it's not a big fat arse!
It's a horrible, awful, cringeworthy, sick-making abomination of a word.
Yuck, yuck, yuck, panties, UGH!
It needs banning.
Wow...:o:o
Obviously we have completely different attitude/opinion and i've no idea how old you are but Knickers is sooooo Victorian. I'm in my 60's and it's a word i'd hear my parents use but once in my teens, never girls/boys of my own era.
One of the most terrifying experiences of my life was being in a shopping centre and seeing a very overweight girl approaching from about fifty yards away, wearing flesh coloured leggings. I honestly thought it was an escaped lunatic walking around bottomless.

I cant stand that word either or knickers, its just the sound, Don't know why really.
I just call them pants, or my big pants, drawers or undies, yeah I am strange!
Leggings are for wearing with long tops or dresses really no matter the size of the person wearing them. Just looks odd to me and unflattering VPL or crotch bunch is not a good look..hehe..

That does sound horrifying tbh. Hopefully she had a long t shirt on

It's very old fashioned.
It's a pet hate word of mine too. It just sounds wrong to me.

I'm in my 40s and as you've gathered I can't bear the word 'panties'.
They've always been knickers, or anything but panties! I'd rather say pantaloons
Wow......so for some of you it's simply the pluralising of panty to panties?
Pretty wild. :o
But funny too. :D
As i thought the word 'knickers' comes from Knickerbocker....an 18th century under garment!
For those who have a peculiar aversion to the word 'pantie' please look away now. :p Here is what Wiki says;
Panties (typically called knickers in British English) are a form of underwear designed to be worn by women and girls[1] in the crotch area below the waist.
Typical components include an elastic waistband, a crotch panel to cover the genital area (usually lined with absorbent material such as cotton), and a pair of leg openings which, like the waistband, are often made of elastic; materials are usually chosen to be breathable. While panties were originally designed to cover the entire lower half of the female form,[2] the modern version (since the 1970s) has either no legs or, in some cases, very short ones, and has become progressively more revealing over time.
"Panties" (plural form) is usually used to denote more than one "pair of panties" (singular), whilst "panty" is used in such derivatives as "panty liner" and "panty hose". The term is applied only to female underwear, with "underpants" often used as a term for the male counterpart.
Is it me or is it just blatantly obvious that companies only sell thin leggins, so the consumer has no choice but buy thin leggins? If companies used a different material or made them thicker, they wouldn't be see through.
They sell both. It's a choice which people go for.

Or at least only every seven years.

Three months later and thanks for the update.
I had to walk out of Victoria's Secret in Leeds. All their knickers are labelled as 'panties' and it was making me feel a bit sick.
True. I hate that word and have banned my bf from using it if he wants any fun with me. And 'panty hose'. Ugh!
Both American words, as is Victorias Secrets.
Best stick with the good British terms knickers and tights.
Especially if your waxing isn't up to date

What's 'wrong' with the word 'pantie'?
TBH Knickers conjure up images such as these.
