Going commando isn’t just for promiscuous wild women, or your friends who basically live at Coachella and Burning Man-style events. Ditching your drawers can provide a lot of perks and benefits, even for the pant-suit-wearing, “conservative” lady. And admit it: there have been so many times you’ve wanted to leave the house without underwear on. Getting ready is already so time-consuming between hooking bras, shimming your ankles through skinny jeans and doing your eyeliner without smudging it. Can’t we skip one step? Yup! And it should be the step you take into your thong. You may not know it, but half the women in the room with you are probably going commando. They’re probably the ones smiling because they aren’t picking a wedgie. Ready to join the club? Here are 15 reasons to go commando.

It can prevent infections

If your underwear shifts just a little, it can carry bacteria from the front to the back. This can cause a slew of infections. Thongs are the worst offenders, but any pair of panties can do it.

It gives you confidence

Anytime you do something liberating, you build a little confidence. Anytime you do something that makes you happy, with no regard for what society would think of it, you get a little ballsier in every arena of your life.

It cools you down

They say heat travels through your head and extremities, but women know that it also travels through your vagina! Somehow, taking off underwear seems to drop your body temperature a few degrees.

You can tell your partner

If you text your partner to let him know you’re walking around without underwear, he will think about that all day, and he will be rearing to go when he gets home.

It can prevent odor

Underwear can trap moisture downstairs which can lead to odor. Some people worry that going commando will mean people can smell their vagina, but in fact, it will keep things breezy and fresh down there.

Most materials aren’t good anyways

Cotton is pretty much the only material that’s good for your vagina, but if we’re honest, cotton underwear is never the cutest underwear. So it was a losing battle.
