The Great Underwear Debate

Pros and cons of going commando.

The Great Underwear Debate

People tend to think that not wearing underwear is a strictly male thing to do. it is implied that girls who do it are sluts. This actually isn’t true. I recently conducted a poll in which the results were shocking.

Only 4 four out 25 guys have admitted to going commando. 2 of those 4 say that its only on occasion. On the other hand, 18 out of 25 girls admitted not wearing underwear. 15 of those do it from time to time.

The main reason for doing it is overall comfort. Women are usually concerned with the after shaving stubble where men are concerned with air circulation and reducing heat down there. Other great reasons for not wearing underwear are to prevent outfit malfunctions (visible lines) and to “spark the moment” with a partner.

There are major cons to this type of outfit choice. We wear underwear to prevent us from getting all types of infections and parasites, like lice. Once we take away that line of defense, we leave ourselves vulnerable. One con that people do not think about is not being able to change after having any sort of accident.

Now let’s talk about the places where it’s acceptable.

This is generally up to the particular person and their comfort level. Many things come into play, what you are wearing, where you work, what errands you need to run, how old you are, etc. Another concern for women would be whether they are on their period or not.

Recently I’ve been experimenting with this. It all started with one day I overslept and was running late for work. My job does not have a required uniform so I jumped out of bed, threw on pants, and went to work in the shirt I slept in. I haven’t been doing much recently besides going to work. The weather hasn’t been great so I have been wearing jeans. I don’t think I would be comfortable going to work without underwear on underneath a skirt or dress. Just going out to the mail box is one thing, but waiting tables is a whole other story.

Now of course, this subject doesn’t just apply to going on in public, but bedtime as well. What people do in their bedrooms is their business and no one else’s, so we won’t get into that.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
