Question

I asked whether a man or woman is allowed to wear their partner's underwear, and you answered that a man is forbidden, but you did not answer whether a woman is allowed to wear her husband's (in the case that it's the only clean one in the closet, and not for immodesty).

Answer

Hello 

There is no difference between a man and a woman in this matter. 

It is rabbinically forbidden for a woman to wear a man's undergarments.
