How not to piss off your nether regions.
Not wearing underwear is actually pretty great for your vagina (and also the rest of your vulva), especially if you're a bit ~sensitive~.
Because undies can be irritating!
"I think that going commando has a definite place for women who are really suffering from infections, irritation, rashes, or sensitive skin," Alyssa Dweck, M.D., a New York-based gynecologist, tells BuzzFeed Life.
In fact, you can totally ride the subway and go in public without wearing underwear, as long as you're not bare ass naked from the waist down.
"As far as STDs and all, I don't think you're going to get anything along those lines if you still have a barrier of clothing between you and whatever surface may be harboring infection," Dweck says.
THAT said, going without underwear might mean you destroy a few pairs of pants by accident.
"A lot of women will notice—and rightfully so—that their vaginal secretions change throughout their cycle," said Dweck. "So, some women can go commando for the first two weeks of their cycle but then once they ovulate the secretions are a little bit heavier and they'd rather wear something for protection."
This can be even trickier if you don't know when your period is coming. "If you have irregular periods or you're not exactly sure when you're going to get your period, you do run the risk of staining."

And also it's better to wear undies if you really love skinny jeans.
Super tight pants can chafe. No one wants a chafed vulva.
