Increased Comfort

Some women find underwear extremely uncomfortable. If you don’t want to ditch them completely, try different cuts, styles, and patterns. But if you can let them go, there’s nothing like it. After all, wouldn’t you want to feel comfortable? You could wear a long dress and skip the undies. No one will even know!

Relief from Dampness

Wearing underwear can cause dampness, leading to discomfort. If you sweat a lot or experience discharge, going without underwear can help. Even if you wear fitted pants, ditching the underwear won’t make it worse.

Better Sleep

Skipping underwear can help you fall asleep faster and enjoy a full night of uninterrupted sleep. In fact, consider sleeping without any clothes. According to Healthline, the body’s ideal sleep temperature is 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Even in cold weather, underwear, pajamas, your partner, and a duvet might make you too warm to drift off easily. “Sleeping naked can help the skin cool off faster, lowering body temperature and allowing a person to get to sleep sooner,” says Medical News Today.

Reduces Heartburn

Acid reflux is common, but even if you’ve never dealt with it, wearing tight underwear for two weeks could trigger it. High-rise and tight underwear, unlike hipsters, are more likely to squeeze your stomach and force stomach acid up your throat, causing heartburn.

Relief for Butt Acne

Going commando can do wonders for your bum’s skin pores. Butt acne, a symptom of folliculitis caused by trapped sweat or friction, can improve with better aeration. Instead of rushing for remedies, try skipping underwear and wearing loose clothing to support your sensitive skin.

Prevents Yeast Infections

Tight underwear can lead to vaginitis, causing itching and a white discharge like cottage cheese. It can also cause trichomoniasis, which has similar symptoms but with a greenish-yellow discharge. Skipping tight underwear can help prevent these infections.
