Unmentionables
This is a lower register than what I'm used to working with as a translato (I'd probably define it as "barely literate/scumbag" or something like that).
"Unmentionables" is a rather old-fashioned euphemism for underwear, which in turn can be a euphemism for what lies beneath, which seems to be the thrust of the statement.

"... and could see right up to her tonsils"... Something like that, if you get my drift :-)

If it refers to the garment rather than what it conceals, then "knickers" is a more direct option.

bordos de olla: large women’s underwear SYN: cucos, calzones de mujer brasilera: g-string SYN: tanga
I like Neil's "unmentionables", or there is simply "underwear".
Regards and stay safe!
