Panties, Off!

By: Jay Dee, MPH

Do you ever give your coochie a break? I never wear panties with the exception of being on my period and wearing jeans.

Whenever I do wear panties, I always feel like my vulva is smothered. From a health standpoint, wearing underwear 24/7 helps lock in moisture, well it keeps moisture close to the vulva which leaves room for bacteria to grow. This can eventually cause an overgrowth in bacteria which leads to a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis.

Even if you’re uncomfortable going commando in public, be sure you are sleeping without underwear to give your vulva a chance to be liberated! Another tip, if you must wear panties make sure they are 100% cotton and breathable. Look I get it, those types of underwear are not the most attractive but you have to keep that vagina healthy miss mamas.

Personally, I think panty lines are tacky; it ruins the outfit. If you share the same feelings as me and opt for thongs and G-strings, be careful with those as well. The string that is placed between the cheeks can act as a “flosser.” This means, if you do not wipe well enough after defecating, the string can carry residue from your bowels to your vaginal opening as you’re moving, walking, bending, stretching, etc. throughout the day. This will definitely expose your vagina to bacteria.

Your pussy, your fashion, your rules girl! I just want you to keep your vagina healthy. In addition to the other benefits of not wearing panties, when you liberate your vulva, the sweat evaporates more and odor is reduced. The odor that comes from sweating of course! This could also help alleviate allergic reactions from dyes that are on fabrics. Just give it a try tonight when you go to bed if you don’t practice commando already!

Until Next Time,
