Are more women than ever going commando?

Are you going commando?

My mother always told me never leave the house without clean underwear.  In case you got into an accident and they had to take you to the hospital, you didn't want anyone to see you in dirty drawers.

Boy, would my mother be shocked  today when about 15% of the population (both male and female) have chosen to "go commando" and leave their underwear at home.

What started as a fad among the young hotties of Hollywood who always need some publicity gimmick for the competitive edge, has caught on like wildfire in a dry forest for the rest of the country. And while it might be something  the twenty-somethings have embraced, there are  plenty of women "over 40" who have abandoned their thongs for the pleasures of having nothing come between them and their Calvins.

So, are underpants a thing of the past? have some women and men decided that underwear is overkill when it comes to get dressed? Well one theory I have about the subject is that many women spend a lot of time, money and yes, some discomfort waxing their private parts. Ok, so if I am doing this so I can be smooth, silky and hairless why not take advantage of showing it off. It's not just that they are not wearing anything they want you to KNOW they are not wearing anything.

Of course, the world of fashion also has to take some responsibility for this trend since jeans are getting tighter and tighter and sweats and leggings have become part of a woman's basic everyday wardrobe. The very thought of a visible panty line caused women to give up the panty for the bikini, and the bikini for the for the thong.

While thongs may be considered sexy and have thousands  of women flocking  to Victoria Secrets, they are not  flattering to most  bodies and feel, like actress Joan Collins once said "Dental Floss for Your Ass."

The one thing that drives me nuts is seeing the "whale tail" on every other woman and girl on any given Saturday at the Mall. When the thong rides up over the top of your jeans it has all the fashion appeal  of dirty laundry.

But what about the medical ramifications of commando dressing? I remember in the 1970's when my good friend Maureen bought a pair of Sasson jeans and wore them with no underwear she wound up at the GYN's office with a major (and very uncomfortable) yeast infection. The doctor also told her that by putting the fabric right into the most intimate area of her vagina caused the dye from the material to rub off as she perspired causing a whole other set of problems.

I thought she was cool and a very forward thinker until I saw the antibiotics and creams she used for nearly a month. So the real issue here is that dispensing with your underwear is not so much the health hazard for infections but that it makes wearing very tight jeans easier and thereby causing major irritation.

One solution is to get some of those patches that go right onto your clothes and afford you protection while not sacrificing style and comfort.

Then if you want it to all hang out you can do so knowing that some part  of you is covered.
