Underwear is SO Last Year

It’s a common known fact that celebrities like Britney Spears go “commando,” aka deciding they are not really in the underwear mood for the day. Yet, somehow, they still manage to forget and flash their va-jay-jays at the paparazzi. Intelligence is not their strongest characteristic.

For some reason, I thought this trend was merely among the rich and famous. Boy, was I wrong. During a recent get together with friends, I found out that many girls I know opt to never wear underwear, even with clothing like jeans.

“It’s a very freeing feeling,” said one girl.

“Yeah, my doctor told me not to wear underwear because of the risk for bacteria and infections,” said another friend.

Really? My immediate thought was, what kind of sham doctor do you go to?

Maybe I am just being a prude and have become too attached to that extra layer of cloth between my private parts and the world. But really, no underwear, EVER?

Once I looked into it, my friends may not be so crazy after all. First of all, there are tons of reasons to be careful when wearing a thong because of the problems it can cause your nether-regions.

“Thong underwear comes (in direct contact) with the crease of the buttocks, and for those women who wear very tight-fitting thongs, it can promote bacterial vaginitis and urinary tract infections…Thong panties can also cause chafing and lacerations on the anal area, causing infection.”

So, for all young and fashion conscious women, this creates a Catch 22 (at least I learned something in high school English class). On one hand, you don’t want gross vagina infections that come along with thongs, but on the other side, you wouldn’t be caught dead in granny panties that show massive underwear lines.

The solution? Ditch underwear all together.

Maybe I should take a cue from my friends and go au naturel from now on…
