panty
Explanation:
Are you talking about picture no. 89?
In that case the Bengali (!) word written underneath it is "underwear". In formal Bengali this is called "ontorbas" (অন্তর্বাস) and in colloquial Bengali this is called আন্ডারওয়্যার. And this is applicable for men/boys.

For women this is called panty and the formal Bengali is the same as men - "ontorbas" (অন্তর্বাস).
