s/o going commando

SallyAnneS

This might be a tmi question...
I have always wondered how people go commando, don't you have discharge? At least extra CM when you ovulate? No undies = that going on your pants right? That seems like a lot of extra laundry to me as i usually wear a pair of pants a few times between washes.
Help me understand.

I go commando 100% of the time under pj pants at home, so no biggie to wash those more often. For outside clothes, I do it most often with workout-type pants for going out walking, etc., and I'd be washing them anyway in case they were sweaty at all. Other than that, I also go commando with a fancy dress pretty much 100% of the time, in which case I also wear nylons.

Ooo, you just gave me a FFFC - thanks!

Yeah and for that reason no underwear is a total no go for me.

I can't do it. I wear jeans 90% of the time, and I don't want them rubbing on my bits all day.

The idea of not wearing undies gives me the heebie jeebies.....maybe that's for the FFFC thread....

not in jeans. PJ pants or shorts yes. I have a lot of those running shorts with the built in underwear so I wear those and no undies and it feels like I still have them on haha

I only do it for exercise clothes, which get sweaty enough running that they only get a single wear between washes anyway.

I only do it for bedtime.

 I am honestly surprised how many people go commando while working out. Not in a bad way. I have just never heard of people doing this.

I do it almost all the time. I think its so so so much more comfortable. BUT my sacrifice for that is I wash my pants after every wear. WAY too gross to wear no undies and then re-wear the pants. WAY WAY too gross

This.

Yeah, I never go without underwear. Too much discharge. Plus, I think id feel like I was missing something. It's like riding in a car without a seatbelt. Weird.

SallyAnneS

This is probably weird... But i have to wear undies to bed. If i don't i feel like i have to pee all night.

mrscutforth

I only go commando after a shower at night. I can't do jeans or pants or bottoms for that matter without undies. I don't even go commando under dresses. I don't dare do it while pregnant. I have more panties than I can to admit, but I'd like to think that I have a pair for any occasion. My guilty pleasure is panties.

It's weird. I can go commando- but I can't sleep naked.

penguingrrl

I was told by my gyn never to sleep in underwear when I was a teenager and haven't worn underwear to bed since.

I can't go commando, but sleeping naked is aweeeeeeesome. 

I just can't! I always worry if something happens I'm going to have no time to get dressed and run out naked with Z and DH haha

thechickencoop

Huh?  I didn't know going commando was so common?  Lol.  I'm definitely in the 'wears underwear pretty much all of the time' camp!  And WTF are shorts with built in underwear???

but the cutie undies! There's so many cute pairs out there. I love them. I don't do commando, I can't.  I do sleep naked, though.

That's what I figured but cotton underwear achieves that no?

According to my gyn it does not. Even though cotton is breathable I was told nothing at all is best for getting things to breath. And loose pj pants to aid.

It took me a while to get comfy, but now I couldn't possibly sleep any other way!

But, but, the bugs!  And spiders! 

I really have issues regarding this topic.  DH and my mom both make fun of me mercilessly for it.

LOL! I'm as nature-phobic as they come but that has never been a fear of mine lol!

dmurrie

I'm part of the "bugs will crawl into places they don't belong" camp. I'm glad I'm not alone! I told DH about that a while back and he gave me the what the heck is wrong with you look.

Also, with all this news about unwanted up skirt cell phone pictures, I don't think commando under a skirt or dress is even on my radar of things to do. Creepy people are out there!

I can't go without undies ever.  I tried it 1 time in college and hated the rubbing.  This will be TMI but ever since I had DD the middle of my cycle consists of way more CM than ever before….like I pee and it will come out.  It kinda grosses me out.  I couldn't imagine that on my pants/jeans.
