Definition
下身 refers to the lower part of the body, from the waist down. It is also widely used as a euphemism for private parts or genitals. In informal contexts it can sometimes mean lower-body clothing (like trousers), but it is always a noun, not a verb — the gloss 'change clothes' in the source is misleading.
