Do the lower part of underwears (panties, boxers, etc.) have a name?

Question

The term "lower part of panties" is common according to Google. Is that how it's commonly referred? Or the part under an underwear has a name?

Are you just asking what we call the small undergarment worn on the legs, or are you talking about the lowermost portion of that garment? — tchrist, Jan 18, 2018 at 14:23
@tchrist The lowermost portion of the garment (where the crotch rests). — alex, Jan 18, 2018 at 14:24
I would have called it the gusset, but as only the Urban Dictionary backs me up on that one, I'll just leave it as a comment for future viewers who are not of a nervous disposition! — JonLarby, Jan 19, 2018 at 10:07

Judging by Wikipedia, we call it simply "the crotch":

My crotch is stuck in my crotch. Metonymy gone mad.
