Hey lady! Are you scared of going commando?
Or you want to go commando but have no idea about how to start?
I have been a part-time panty-wearing person – if there’s anything like that – for several years now.
And it is now second nature.
Plus, it is one of the best decisions I ever made.
While I can brag about it all day, I also recognize that it may seem weird to you.
So I promise to help you ease into going sans underwear as slowly as possible.

This post will cover simple tips to go commando occasionally, plus the benefits of doing so.
Let’s begin!
4 Tips For Going Commando With Ease
1. Go Commando To Bed
The first step is to go to bed without underwear.
Whatever nightwear you choose to wear is totally up to you as long as you are comfortable. Lol.
I used to sleep in my underwear until my late teens, and one summer, a friend of mine introduced me to sleeping commando.
It felt awkward at first, but once I got used to it, everything just fell into place.
So it is normal for you to feel naked if you are doing this for the first time.
But I promise you, after a few nights, you’d understand and wonder why you didn’t start earlier.
Moving on…
2. Take Dem Panties Off Once You Get Home
The next tip for going commando is to take your underwear off the moment you step in the house from work or running errands.
Then rinse your feminine area with lukewarm water, dry with a towel, and get into comfortable clothes but no panties.
You would feel fresh, clean, and super comfortable.
And with time, you’d begin to look forward to tossing dem panties and freshening up.
Let’s move to the next tip.
3. Go commando on your day off
Still looking for more tips for going commando?
How about you stay in without underwear on your day off?
Just relax the whole day without pesky undies, and give your lady parts a well-deserved day off too.
Any time you find you’d be indoors all day, stay sans underwear.
If you can stay a whole day without wearing a panty, then you are moving even closer to being a part-time commando lady.
Even after bath time, wear loose-fitting clothing without panties.
Here are a few examples of comfy clothes to wear without underwear:
- lounge shorts or pants,
- casual maxi skirts,
- easy maxi dresses,
- short loose dresses, etc.
You’ll find what you prefer as time goes on.
4. Do not wear panties after hair removal sessions
Still not comfortable enough to go to bed commando, on your days off, or once you’re home from work?
Then staying without panties after waxing or shaving may nudge you a bit to try.
Whatever method of hair removal you use, your skin requires some time and ventilation especially, to heal from the depilatory process.
So allow your feminine area at least 24 hours to recuperate before wearing undies again.
And remember to do this every time you remove the hairs down there. Your girlie parts will bless you.

Benefits Of Not Wearing Underwear
Just like everything in life, going commando has both benefits and downsides. Let’s look at the perks first.
1. Going commando part-time is budget-friendly
When you finally decide to go commando the way I explained above, you’d wear fewer underwear and pantyliners.
And you won’t need to shop for either of them for some time.
2. Staying panty-free is liberating
If anything at all, staying panty-less is one of the most comfortable things you’d ever do.
Make sure you enjoy your days off commando.
3. Bruising from underwear and pantyliners becomes history
Have you ever felt tender in your feminine area during your period or just from wearing pantyliners consistently?
It happens to the best of us.
But freeing your girlie parts once in a while would and can help prevent chafing caused by panties and pantyliners.
I can’t count the number of times pads, pantyliners, or even tight panties have bruised my skin.
I wish I won’t have to use pads anymore, but I get TSS with tampons.
Anyway, that’s a topic for another day.

4. Going commando is healthy
When you are not wearing underwear, your private area will get more ventilation. And a well ventilated feminine area is less prone to yeast infections and other crazy stuff that happens down there, sometimes.
5. Going commando is a form of self-care
You feel free when you take your underwear off, right?
That is extra care you need to add to a self-care day to help you relax as comfortably as possible.
Real-life downsides of going without underwear
- Your period can catch you unawares and mess up your clothing.
- Occasionally, vaginal discharge may mess you up. Again, if you are at home, you can easily clean up.
- During summertime, sweaty thighs can be yucky without panties.
- Going commando in jeans or gym wear is not the best idea because the fabric may chafe your delicate area. That’s why I encourage my friends to go commando at home in comfy clothes.
