To commando or not to commando?
That is the question
Shakespeare should have asked, for it would have saved
women’s magazines years upon years of anguish and debate over whether or
not we should suffocate our lady bits in strangling contraptions
better known as “underwear” or if we should just let them be.
There are common
misconceptions about going commando. Some see it as bad for your sexual health.
Some see it as an
indication you’re promiscuous. And others see it as a weird publicity
stunt to gasp at (see: Britney Spears,
circa 2010).
But, at the end of the
day, going commando is not nearly as big of a deal as we all think it is,
mainly because you don’t really have to tell a single person you’re doing it.
In fact, more women should embrace it.
Here’s why.
1. It’s comfortable.
The number one reason
you should go commando is that it’s, honestly, really comfortable.
It’s just you, your
vagina and your pants getting to know each other better, hanging out like old
friends, sipping glasses of wine.
2. There are no links between going commando and
contracting infections.
It might
feel like your bare vagina rubbing right up against the inside of
your pants would create a perfect breeding ground for bacteria, but that idea
has long been debunked.
Dr. Gillian Dean,
Planned Parenthood New York City’s associate medical director of clinical
research and training, told The Village Voice there’s
no scientific research suggesting a direct correlation between going
commando and contracting infections like bacterial vaginosis or yeast
infections.
3. Going commando can actually help prevent infections.
If you have lots of
itching and irritation down there, gynecologists actually recommend you skip
wearing underwear.
On her blog, gynecologist “Dr. Kate” has
found doing so really will decrease those feelings of discomfort. If you can’t
find it in you to ditch underwear during the day, try doing it at night.
Vaginas are already
moist and hairy, so adding a layer of suffocation (in the form of underwear)
can actually make things worse.
Dr. Alyssa Dweck, M.D., told Shape magazine if
your vagina is constantly covered, more moisture collects down there,
which cultivates an ideal environment for yeast growth.
And since the risk
of yeast infections among humans has actually been
increasing, it might be a good idea to start going commando ASAP.
4. No VPL
We’ve all seen the
phenomenon: A woman in tight, light-colored pants who forgets her purple
granny panties are visible through her ass — in color, shape and outline — to
the whole world.
Could someone really be that unaware? There’s nothing more
embarrassing than that dreaded VPL (Visible Panty Line), but when you go
commando, you’ll never, ever have to worry about it.
Exercise caution,
though: You aren’t safe from camel toes.
5. No wedgies
Ever find yourself
digging out a wedgie deeper than you’d dig for gold? Going commando means never again having to sneak away from a social
situation to claw around inside your butt.
If that right there
isn’t enough of a reason, I don’t know what is.
6. When you actually need to go commando, you’ll already be
used to it.
In your life, you might
wear something to require you to go
commando, and there’s no better way to prepare for that moment than going
commando all the time.
Take a look at some of these celebrities whose dresses with impractical
cut-outs forced them to forgo underwear for a fancy event.
For those
women who’d previously been uninitiated into the commando lifestyle, I’m
sure having to do so was intimidating. But for those who were used to it,
it was probably just another day.
Back in high school, I
wore a clingy, white, floor-length dress for senior prom that, if I wasn’t 17
at the time, I probably would have gone commando in.
If you asked me to
wear that same dress now, you can bet your ass I would not wear any underwear.
I’d just get a really good bikini wax instead.
7. You’ll feel sexier.
Sure, some girls feel
sexy in a matching lace lingerie set, but what’s sexier and more risqué than
being fully naked under those jeans?
And that little
secret you have with yourself will totally up your confidence when you
talk to coworkers, professors, friends and the guy you have a crush on.
8. Your man will definitely find it sexy.
Maybe your relationship
needs a little excitement in the sexual department, or, hey, maybe you and your
boyfriend already f*ck like wild animals and you just want to make things
even more interesting.
Let your boyfriend
know you’re not wearing any underwear and watch his lust for you skyrocket.
You can up the ante
by whispering it in his ear in a public place where he can’t do
anything about it just yet, like at a party.
You will officially
become the only thing on his mind all night.
9. Your pants will fit better
Are there certain pairs
of underwear you can’t wear with certain pairs of pants because they make
your pants fit differently?
I can’t wear
full-coverage underwear with so many of my jeans; the underwear adds just
enough extra thickness, making my jeans too tight.
I feel much better in my
jeans when I wear a thong or, better yet, when I go commando.
If you went commando
more often, you’d never have to worry about what kind of underwear you have to
wear for specific pants.
And you probably could
afford to buy jeans in smaller sizes, which obviously would feel awesome.
10. You’ll feel random bursts of pleasure
throughout the day.
Having the seam of your
pants run right along your vagina can create some interesting sensations
throughout the day.
This will especially
happen if you’re wearing jeans, where the stitching is so thick, fidgeting
around in a chair can rub you the wrong — or, ahem, right — way to make
you feel a little unexpected warmth down there.
When this happens,
smile subtly to yourself and embrace it. It’s a day-maker for
sure.
11. Sometimes, it’s just necessary
If you’ve run out of
clean underwear and you’re too lazy to do a wash, do not even think about going
back in your dirty hamper and fetching a used pair. Instead, just go commando.
There’s no better time
to start than right now.
