Being a woman who regularly wears tight skirts and dresses , underwear quickly became a real issue for me . Hello wedgies galore ! My default go-to would be g-strings - you can ’ t not wear underwear with a dress right ? That ’ s so Britney-Spearsgetting-out-of-a-car-2007 . I started toying with the no underwear thing when wearing thongs revealed itself to be the work of the devil . Once in a while I ’ d say “ Screw it !” and leave them out of my outfit . god speed , and happy , healthy vaginas , ladies !
SEXUALITY & YOU
Why Underwear is the Worst .
Just a few reasons and anecdotal ranting ’ s of a girl who thinks wearing underwear isn ’ t all it ’ s cracked up to be . And no , it doesn ’ t make you slutty or filthy for not wearing it .
We ’ re told all our lives to wear clean underwear , “ What if you get hit by a car ?” my mother would ask . Well , I am pretty sure I would crap myself if I was hit by a car anyways , so the state of my underwear would be a moot point . However , I always thought – why do I need to wear it at all ?

Almost as if I was nurtured into seeing it , and thinking it was an issue … In reality it ’ s not like it runs down your leg , or collects – it will dry normally without extra fabric keeping wetness around your crotch ( which is bad , mmkay ? Yeast infections and UTI ’ s are a real thing ).
