Explanation
The word combines กางเกง, “trousers or lower-body clothing,” with ใน, “inside.” Its structure suggests something worn inside one’s outer clothing. It can refer to various styles, including briefs, boxers, and panties. The classifier ตัว is used when counting them: กางเกงในหนึ่งตัว means “one pair of underpants.”
Usage
It is commonly used when talking about getting dressed, doing laundry, shopping for clothes, packing for a trip, sizing, or personal hygiene.
Caution
กางเกงใน refers specifically to underwear, not outer trousers or pants; those are called กางเกง. It is also limited to underwear for the lower body and does not normally include bras or undershirts.
