(dialect) is a bit vague. The "long johns" sense seems to be pretty strongly associated with Taiwan, and labeling it (Tw) doesn't necessarily imply that it isn't used elsewhere.

在东北,秋裤被称为线裤或衬裤,台湾则将它称为卫生裤。

台湾人不叫秋裤,叫卫生裤。同样的,秋衣他们也不叫秋衣,叫卫生衣。

TP has a clear example, with 衛生褲 translated as "long-johns":
在學院執教一生,陳慧坤作畫教學認真而嚴肅,經常令學生望之卻步。然而,在師生聚會,酒足飯飽之後,陳慧坤會站出來手舞足蹈,跳起日本的古老酒席歌舞。有一次,師大美術系化妝舞會,陳慧坤竟然穿著一件衛生褲進場,令全場師生驚訝矚目,當大家看到他手上那一頂三角形的扁帽,不禁大笑,原來是「拿破崙」來了。

"Chen arrived wearing a pair of long-johns ... with the long-johns serving as white breeches."

There is also a mainland sense referring to menstrual underwear/products. Baidu Baike says:
卫生裤,又称安睡裤、安心裤、夜安裤等,是为女性经期设计的功能性内裤或一次性裤型卫生巾,通过防渗漏结构与腰臀贴合设计减少卫生巾移位及侧漏问题,兼具透气性与舒适性。
