Dear Can A Girl Get Pregnant From Sperm Inside Her Underwear?,

Yes, it is possible for a girl to get pregnant if there is sperm inside her underwear. Even though the chances are not that high, it is still possible.  Any time sperm comes in close contact with the vaginal opening there is a chance of pregnancy.

Sex, etc.  explains that the chances of pregnancy depend on how much clothing each person is wearing. Sperm cannot leak through fabric, however, since you mention inside a girl’s underwear, there really is chance for sperm to swim their way into her reproductive system and cause pregnancy.  This also can put a person at risk for a sexually transmitted infection.

TeenHealthFX would also like to mention the importance of practicing safe sex. We encourage all teens to use condoms every time they engage in any type of sexual activity. Condoms are 98% in preventing pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted infections when used correctly and on every sexual encounter.
