I've heard the word "Draws" from my West Indian friends. I think that's the way it's spelt so that's what I heard. At first I thought they meant the drawer from your dressing table which is also pronounced draws.  I learned a new word for sure.

Come to think of it the panties would be in the draws.

My grandparents called them "drawers."  But they were born and raised in the good ole USA.

@shoesnbags  that's funny. West Indians have a way of shortening words, so drawers became draws.

I came home from work and had to get out of my brassiere and panty girdle...oh! I mean bra and shaper. 😝 

Where do you keep your underwear???...in drawers. That's where the term drawers comes from.  Anyone familiar with the old line "trying to get in my / your drawers" ??  It is a double entendre.

@KBEANS  you are so right. I also remember hearing "Pull up your draws" I called my aunt today who lives in the Caribbean and she made me laugh when I asked about draws (drawers)

My preschool granddaughter wears panties....I wear underwear.

Give it up. If she has said " pocketbook" her whole life, she isn't  going to change now. I say "purse" and have never said "handbag" or " pocketbook".
