Panties Or Briefs?

I'm in love with a woman who is the mother of two girls, and the word 'panties' is uttered frequently in their house. Sometimes 6 or 7 times a day. Which lead me to wonder just what the difference is between Panties and Briefs. Essentially, women's panties and men's briefs are the same item; the fabric varies, sure, and the style, but the shape is pretty much the same across the board. The whole category is Underwear, I suppose, but those two garments are specific in their nomenclature. I'm rather reluctant to describe anything wrapped around my nether regions as brief...guilt by association? I do understand the name Panties. The diminutive form of Pants. Most men wear pants, but not panties...Slacks, maybe, but not slacksies...Jeans, but not jeansies...shorts, but not shorties.

As you can see, this is a complex question...

I find boxer shorts uncomfortable, jockey shorts too complicated (that whole fly thing), and boxer briefs redundant, so its bikini briefs for me. Or, as I've come to think of them, panties. I'm wearing diminutive pants right now. And I like it.
