You say she's been potty
You say she's been potty trained since she was 2. So has she always had these 'accidents'? If so, then she is not potty trained.
Recognize her routine. She has to pee in the morning, so make sure she goes to the bathroom first thing in the morning. And remind her throughout the day, and make sure she pees before bed.
She poops... when? In the morning? After lunch? Most kids are fairly regular. If you can catch her routine, you can put her on the potty at the right time so she can poop.
If she dirties her underwear, make her help you clean it up. Most girls do not like this nastiness. Make her dump the mess in the toilet, and wash her underwear out in the sink/tub/hosepipe with soap, and then help to clean and disinfect the area once it's done. That in itself should be enough 'punishment'. There is always taking away snack time for that day, or a favorite tv show for that day, or toy... She shouldn't be grounded for a week or something, their sense of time is just not there. A week is a lifetime in her head. A day, one snacktime, or something along those lines should be enough.
