scanties

Minimal bottom coverage

Scanties is an informal term for women's underwear, especially brief or skimpy panties.

The word emphasizes the minimal coverage such garments provide, deriving from the adjective scanty meaning insufficient or meager.

She packed a few scanties for the weekend trip.

The term is somewhat dated but still appears in casual conversation and retail contexts.
