Yeah, that usage would have taken me out of the story too. But I've never thought of editing a book to make reading it more palatable.

I'm a woman, and I refer to my own underthings as skivvies. FWIW. I find "panties" too cutesy, and bloomers is clearly out of fashion. I don't care for "underpants," which is just...IDK, juvenile. So...skivvies.
