Answer

In the USA, the general term is "underwear" for both sexes or less frequently "underpants."   Men wear boxers (loose underwear like shorts) or briefs (tightie whities - not "tiny" whities).  Women wear panties. You might hear "knickers" for women's underwear, but only jokingly.

In the USA, you will never hear "trousers" or "drawers" for anything.

Answer

Generally known as ' underwear ' for both sexes.   However I personally say boxer shorts or briefs for men, and since I am a bit old fashioned in certain things I refer to my own underwear as ' drawers', much to most people's amusement !
