Okay, what's the difference between una chinela y un pantuflo? I am trying to decide which means slipper (like a soft shoe one wears in the house.) Maybe these are regional difference?.

You people are super! Thanks! I had seen it first as pantufla but dictionary on this site had it masculine with an -o.

Nunca he escuchado pantuflo sino pantufla (slipper). Chinela is more of a sandal. Variations include chancleta, chancla, cotiza, etc.
