If a guy is going commando, provided he's not wearing tight pants, is it even obvious to anybody? What's the give-away, swinging or movement? And is this something people actually check out? Who knew.
I go commando all the time and there are a few reasons.
I exercise a lot and change my clothes several times a day. Since I shower and change my clothes two or three times a day, hygiene is not an issue.
Underwear = wedgies. I don't like wedgies.
Underwear also costs $.
Underwear creates more laundry to do.
There have been a couple times lately that I wish I'd had underwear on like when my yoga instructor started letting me kiss him then his hand moved down to my warm happy area, I wish there had been some cute sexy underwear for him to push out of the way first.
For those who don't know ... "going commando" is a slang term for not wearing any underwear under your clothes.
Here at C-D there are folks of every opinion, pursuasion, and lifestyle; therefore I will ask the question: do you ever "go commando"? What is your reason? What are the benefits? Perhaps you tried it and you'll never do it again? Do you consider it sexy?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Haven't worn underwear in well over a decade, closer to two decades, lol!
From a functional standpoint, it's better for your vaginal health to not wear underwear; the tight fitting underwear that is popular for women, is BAD for your girlie bits. It traps all that heat and bacteria in close to you and will grow like the dickens!
It's not a matter of sexiness in my house, it's functionality.
But it is an added bonus when hubby and I are "in the mood" and there is one less barrier to cross to get to the promised land, so to speak!

What's un-hygenic about it?

How so? Hubby's been commando for longer than I have, and it's never been an issue on "hiding" that status, lol.

I do go "commando" sometimes if I'm wearing a long floaty skirt in summer though.
Again, what is so un-hygenic about not wearing a piece of material that traps dirt, heat, and bacteria close to your vagina?

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.
Well said! Also Scotsmen "go commando" while wearing kilts.
As a woman born, raised, and living in an area that routinely gets 100+ degrees with 95%+ humidity, it's stupid to wear underwear in the summer in this area!

EWWWW nasty! some of you guys think not wearing underwear is un-hygenic?! Wearing dirty clothes over again is nasty and un-hygenic!
Seriously, who does that?! Gross. Especially when you consider what those pants/shirt/clothes interact with on a daily basis.
Pretty much always when wearing jeans or shorts. I find underwear to be a huge nuisance! It's always moving around, getting in places, restrictive. I'm clean, shower daily, and know how to wash my clothes, so no hygene issues But I do wear them with dress pants if I have to wear them for work sometimes.
Some of us can't hide it. Made the mistake of wearing gym shorts to the pool one summer and went off the diving board and came out of the cold water sporting wood! Not a thing I could do but wave.

Wearing thin material "commando", probably not a good thing lol! I don't go commando at the gym in certain types of shorts.
And speaking of which, there's this nasty old man at my gym (by old, I mean 60s by my guess) who wears spandex shorts commando.
Have a nephew who had to go into the doctors office.. About 7 or 8 years old.. Doctor told him to strip down to his underwear and she'd be right back.
He wound up swinging in the wind(as much as is possible for an 8 year old) on the table for about 15 minutes waiting for her to come back with his pants laid across his crotch.
Doctor said it wasn't that unusual anymore and that she ran into quite a number of kids and adults who would forego underwear.
I think it's not the greatest idea for kids to go to school commando.. Mainly because.. Well.. boys will be boys and getting pantsed is probably going to be far more embarrassing sans-drawers. Of course, that's not to say that the pants-er might not get both with one go.
I frequently wear my jeans 2 or 3 times before washing. I think they get more comfortable with each wearing. Commando in that situation would be pretty disgusting. Seriously it is just not sanitary and don't try telling me you don't know why! Bodily effluents end up on your undergarments and are easily washed away w/ laundry soap and hot water. I sometimes change underwear more than once a day just because, especially after working out at the gym. I do remember the most ridiculous situation when a dude visited our campsite one summer and he was commando and wearing shorts. He kept leaning back in his chair as we sat around the fire, with his legs crossed "guy-style". OMG, he was hanging out. We had to tell him to put that mouse back in its house because children were present. I think he was just trolling for ladies.
As often as I can get away with it, and still get into heaven.
