I'm not trying to toe any lines here - this is just something I've been thinking about.
I recently discovered that I don't like wearing underwear. I started not wearing underwear to bed and it's awesome. I once went commando to work out at home and again, awesome. I wear it everywhere else and it sucks. Does anyone else have this issue? And what's good comfortable underwear to work out in since I can't always go without?

Lol! I don't go commando in the world - mostly because I'm either in jeans (long or short) or dresses, neither I find conducive to lack of underwear. At home I usually take full advantage of living alone.
I think it's Hanes that came out with a moisture wicking brand that would be good for working out. My only negative is it wasn't originally in the cut I find most comfortable, but maybe they expanded it.

I always wear bra & underwear in public but the minute I get home they are both off. I don't think I've worn underwear to bed since I was a kid.

My Grandma always told me that you mustn't wear underwear in bed "To let your body breathe"
Not sure how true that is...but I never have done

Sleeping naked is a mighty big reason for your kids to learn quickly to knock on your bedroom door. Just saying... It's also a great way to nip surprise visits from your college aged kids in the bud.

Even as old as I am (61), I know that it is better not to wear underwear to bed. My husband is a commando guy. I've seen him startle a few nurses in the hospital. He's 71.
Funny story. I worked in Better Men's with a 31-year-old virgin. I know this because she talked about it constantly. One day she came to me and said, "OMG, we have to damage out these four pairs of pants." I went, "Ok, why? They look ok to me." She was helping some guy in the dressing room, and he had no underwear on. We were like, "And, again, why on earth did you go in the men's dressing room?" There is customer service, and there is too much customer service. The manager refused to damage the pants out, and she was terrified of going into the men's dressing room again. LOL.

I used to wear panty hose with a panty liner. I never had any panty lines. A lot of the women who play tennis don't wear underwear under their skorts. It's cooler but I wear undies and a panty liner for sweat. TMI -faint-TMI -banana-TMI Back to topic. I used to buy Love Pats which are hard to find and more costly. I have several pair I baby along and wear them on super hot days.

I sleep in a T-shirt. Sometimes if my body thermostat is acting up I ditch that, too.
I tried going braless in my early 20s. It was a feminist thing. Trouble is, sometimes you don't want your nipples to show- like in a cold conference room. I also found, when I started working form home in my 40s and spent all day in my bathrobe, that my breasts were getting sore on the sides. I concluded that whatever ligaments were holding them up were getting strained so now I wear a bra during the day. I'm 62 and my breasts look just as good as they did when I was 18- no sag at all- and I want to keep them that was as long as I can.

I change my underwear at least twice if not three times each day. And no, not because they're soiled.

I could never go commando. Just not my thing. But as soon as I walk in the door after work, my heels and office wear including bra come off. My sweats and t shirt and socks go on and my hair goes up in a ponytail. Seeing me at work and at home is like night and day.

I sleep naked. It's good for you. I sleep in big t shirts socks and sweats. Even in the summer. Old Dude used to always have to have this stupid box fan going, so some nights I also had a sweat shirt or robe on too. I'm always cold.

Then, when I get home and change out of my workout clothes, I put on more comfortable underwear. If I exercise in the afternoon, I change my underwear again when I change out of my exercise clothes.

DD2 likes to go commando. She gets on these kicks where she won't where underwear. Fine. I'd rather see her go commando and be potty trained vs. fighting us tooth and nail in the potty training department.
I don't wear much when I sleep. It's a huge PITA when the kids have friends sleep over, because then I feel like I have to layer up in case I'm needed at a moment's notice.

I'm 62 and my breasts look just as good as they did when I was 18- no sag at all- and I want to keep them that was as long as I can. We have to do this big training thing at work. The woman leading the sessions must be in her 60's. She didn't wear a bra, and she was saggy. I made my DH promise me that we'd pony up for some plastic surgery if my boobs made it past my elbows in my retirement.

when I'm working out, I'm in yoga pants/capris and I don't wear underwear. have to wear a bra though.....ouch. but I will say that when I get home for the night, first thing to go is the bra. I usually change into pajamas, too, in the winter. I sleep in a t-shirt and underwear, unless it's really hot then nothing. do whatever makes you comfortable and is presentable in public. who cares what anyone else thinks?

MJ - for running/working out - I wear shorts that have a liner/underwear built in. It is so much nicer than wearing underwear and shorts. They breathe better, you only have one waistband, etc.
