Buruma is an English to Japanese to English translation of bloomer, usually identifying an over-pantie or public garment, whose purpose is to cover the pantie and crotch area while leaving the maximum maneuvering room.

Typically this is used as part of a gym uniform, paired up with a t-shirt.

Contrast with bloomers, which are a type of underwear constructed much like boxer shorts worn by women.
