Describing some terms...
Salaam and good evening to all of you (morning to some).
I could not figure out about a few terms that really fit in the sentences.
1) Which one is more appropriate? A pantie or underwear?
2) When you are describing a menstrual cycle and leaks, what are the terms that are formal but appropriate?
Sorry, I have some assignments on dealing with periods. So, I need to know the correct terms to describe everything
Thank you!

The word "panties" is typically used in the plural, although it is singular in meaning, meaning one pair of women's lower undergarments. " The word "panties" - and "underwear" too - is often used in a ribald sense, and so it would probably not be appropriate for a formal article such as you describe. In such an article you would use technical/scientific-type language such as: undergarments stained as the result of menstruation.
