It seems to be so many names for them: white briefs, tighty whities (or tighty whiteys), skivvies, y-fronts, underwear, pants (in the UK)…. so, what do YOU call them?

You can choose more than one option but choose what words you use most often. If we’ve forgotten a word, tell us in the comments (if you’re on the main page, click on the title of this article to see the comments section).

What word do you usually use to describe your underwear?

I agree with Alex: I like to call the underpants, because it’s a little bit embarrassing: especially when you’re in white briefs in front of guys in boxers or boxer briefs. But I like tighty-whities and underwear too.
