Hello Teachers,
I am reading an W Trevor's story - A bit of business.
'Once, in a house at night, a young girl had walked across a landing with nothing on her except a sanitary thing. He and Gallagher had been in the shadows, alerted by the flush of a lavatory. She hadn’t seen them.'
From the underlined words, I would guess that it is sanitary napkin. However, it is quite strange to wear only sanitary napkin. I would like to ask if sanitary thing has any meaning like underwear or short underpants?Thanks for your help.
