I go commando in summer with loose shorts and see absolutely no reason why it is unhygienic.
I think it's actually refreshing and certainly better than nylon panties which people say contribute to yeast infections..Bleccchh!
Certainly sleeping au naturel, which I also sometimes do, isn't unhygienic.
No one is wetting the bed at our age anymore, right?
Besides, the washing machine has been around a long, long, time!
I don't know why they call it "going commando". So stupid.
I know where the term originated. While I agree that the term is stupid in modern society, the original purpose isn't.
When on extended military operations in jungle environments such as Southeast Asia, wearing underwear or socks generally causes raging fungus infections and other serious disorders in the covered areas. The hot, wet & humid climate combined with the extra layer -- almost always cotton, which retains moisture like crazy -- in constant, direct contact with the skin creates ideal growth conditions.
Therefore the special forces, aka "Commandoes", of the US, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and etc. (e.g. Army Green Berets & Rangers, Navy SEALs, Marine Force Recon and Scout-Snipers, and others), generally wear neither underwear nor socks while on their missions in hot/wet/humid environments. They aren't 'being cool' -- they're just trying to stay reasonably healthy.

No, hygiene issue for me too.
I do go "commando" sometimes if I'm wearing a long floaty skirt in summer though.
Just make sure its not windy outside.
I was highly recommended to go "commando" as a 3.5 year old kid in India during the summer owing to skin fungus issues. But that's because the doctor asked me to do so owing to serious case of measles rashes on my sensitive skin. I remember how painful that was as a child, and its not funny . I had to be isolated and treated for 130 days to recover completely, and on some days my fever was as high as 107 F that my parents were extremely scared about my health issues.

The panty styles I wear don't cover the entire butt...not because they are the wrong size, but because they just aren't meant to (ie, boy shorts, bikini cut). And I will never wear granny panties or briefs.
I think it's only fair for the OP to answer the question as well!
I have a friend who has a whole arsenal of underwear. When she wears white pants it's nude colored granny panties all the way. Amazingly -- it looks as if she's gong commando because they fit so well and match her skin tone.
I am a woman and never leave the house without a pair of underoos unless I am going to the beach in a swimsuit.
I like a man who "goes commando"- find it quite sexy.
How in the creation of the world is not wearing briefs not hygienic or unsanitary?
Are you aware the cleanest thing in a public restroom is yourself? If you touch nothing but yourself you are better off not washing your hands. People have been convinced by the government corporate world germs are bad and will kill you so many places have sanitary gel at doors and anyone doing anything with their hands now wear rubber gloves of some fashion.
How did people survive up until now?
As for the OP question...it depends on my mood. When I was dating my wife in HS eons ago she insisted we not wear underwear for easy access. Twist my arm!
I prefer to go commando when I run and especially when I lift because it's way more comfortable.
I also go commando to avoid panty lines. Suggesting that someone wear granny panties doesn't make any sense to me. Women come in many different body shapes. Granny panties are made to fit specific body types just like boyshorts, bikinis and thongs are.
I'll admit that I sometimes go commando just to be naughty. I love to whisper "hey babe, I'm not wearing any panties" to my BF in inappropriate situations.
