In Slovakia, the term I have given is the one that is used most often IN GENERAL CONVERSATION, which was the context which was requested.
The non-inclusion of a certain term by a specific language institute has not prevented its usage by the majority of Slovaks.
Furthermore, it is not the imperative of translators to determine which words are valid or 'standard' - i.e. to censor.
The term I have given is a standardised and broadly used term for 'underwear', as determined by the Slovak people, who use it all the time.
I have not said that 'bielizeň' is incorrect, I merely offer 'spodné prádlo' as an ALTERNATIVE.

: I cannot agree that "it is not the imperative of translators to determine which words are valid or 'standard". This term is not correct even though it is widely used
