When I worked in a lingerie store I would try to sell my customer a "bra and panty" set if I was zoned in that area. When I would ask them "what brought them to our store today" a lot would say they need some "new bras and panties" /

As women we will go through panties a lot quick the bras and that may be why the plural you are referring to.

Also it the culture of the industry, the marketing of essentials, to refer to a panty as panties when selling to a customer.
