    Do You Go Commando?

    I'm a fan of underwear. I actually prefer the classic bikini cut (which makes me a "classy athlete" according to this underwear decoder.) But a couple of years ago, it seemed like it was an anomaly to wear any panties. Britney, Lindsay, Paris, Christina … their hoo-ha's were all over the web. Granted some of those ladies aren't the classiest, but seriously, slip on a pair if you're climbing out of a low limo.

    Now, while I do love the comfort of my undies, not all my friends agree. Granted, many are forced to go commando during laundry day, but some just like the feel of it. "If you're wearing really soft leggings (or other soft clothes), why do you even need to wear it?" said one girlfriend. I could think of a few very good reasons. "Besides, I hate panty lines," she said. Hmmm. I also hate panty lines, but I'm still not ready to give up on cotton comfort.

    But what do the experts say? Are there any health benefits to wearing (or not wearing) panties? While no one thinks it's dangerous to go without undies, wearing them does have some benefit. For one, they protect your privates from any dirt or irritants (kinda like pubic hair), and they provide a barrier between you and your favorite jeans. This barrier can catch discharge, odor, and any other leakage. However, too-tight undies can cut off circulation, and cause little spider veins (aka broken capillaries) in the area.


    I don't know about you, but I think I'll stay pro-panty. But I want to know: Do you go commando? Why or why not?

      Imagine the people who go commando and then try on clothes in stores. That's why I sent pants especially to the cleaners before I wear them.

      If anyone out there claims that they have to go commando during laundry day, then they seriously have a problem with time management.
      And should at least spare 5 bucks for a pack of briefs (the cheapo kind) to keep as back-up plan.

        or just wear a bakini bottom when you run out just as comfy as real undies are

      Goodness no, If I want no panty lines I'll throw on my Spanx! No visible panty lines and a better smoother lifted rear! Perfect bliss!

      I used to until my husband got flashed by a naked beaver at the airport, which made me wonder who I might have been flashing.

      Definitely, pro-panties!!... I don't know if I can say the brand, but I've been using those with the fruits. They have a line of panties that never leave marks... I love those!!

      For a year or 2 i went thru a commando phase but now im back to wearing undies. i dont see anything wrong with it, as long as you are a clean person and you just have to wash your clothes/pants more often than if you wearing underwear. to each her own.
    • Disgruntled  •  3 months ago
      OK, maybe it's because I'm over 40, but this is seriously gross. I can't imagine not wearing underwear especially when wearing a skirt. Also, I probably have close to 20 pairs of panties so I'd have to go almost 3 weeks without doing laundry to run out of underwear. Who is that big of a slob? Apparently, the only thing feminism accomplished was making young women who are as lazy and crude as men. Yuck.

      Underwear is made for a reason, ladies.
    • lovey  •  Virginia Beach, Virginia  •  3 months ago
      Yes, and I prefer to call it alfresco.

      I go commando sometimes and it feels great. I would rather go commando than wear a thong. Ladies do your research a thong is a breeding ground for bacteria and it can travel if you know what I mean.
    • Nate  •  3 months ago
      Heck no, I would feel too "out of control". Thongs are the best underwear. They provide support, but without any bunching and have sex appeal.
    • mich  •  3 months ago
      yes but not in a skirt..ever
    • T  •  Charlotte, North Carolina  •  3 months ago
      I've been commando for 9 years and love it. I haven't had a yeast infection since. Big plus!
    • !Shanksta-Gangsta!  •  3 months ago
      I actually do go without underwear a lot more often these days..but with a dress/skirt i do wear it and also when i go to church.
      • Jade 3 months ago
        same here. some people are a little too touchy about this subject. just do whatever u want. whether that is wearing panties or not. just respect the other person's decision, without being disrespectful
    • e8503  •  3 months ago
      I prefer bikini also, however, I will go commando before I wear a thong. I have yet to get used to something cutting across my crotch. BUT, when I do go without, it's usually with a long or below the knee dress. Too many pervs around.
    • Danae  •  Memphis, Tennessee  •  3 months ago
      i go commando for many years. i like it. now wearing panties feels weird but i do it from time to time for dresses. but i think its great
    • Mandy  •  Santa Monica, California  •  3 months ago
      I love underwear. It's comfortable, I'm down with the "barrier", and it can be sexy. Admittedly, I did go commando once when I was a bridesmaid at a wedding. I had unfortunate and embarrassing panty lines, so I just had to rock that alter totally commando.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  3 months ago
      Pro panty all the way. It's disgusting especially when wearing short skirts. The thought of a bare bottom seating where others have sat and don't do proper hygiene grosses me out. Fecal matter, yeast and other germs have been found on the seats of public places like movie theaters or gyms.
