Whether you’re someone who hates underwear or you just really hate doing laundry, you might find yourself going commando pretty frequently. While there are definitely some benefits to going underwear-less, there are times where you shouldn’t go commando, as it could end up negatively affecting your vaginal health. As annoying as putting on underwear can be, there’s a reason it exists, which means sometimes it’s necessary. “There are actually several benefits to ‘going commando,'” says Molly Shields, M.D., an OB/GYN with the Institute for Women’s Health over email. “Not wearing underwear allows the vagina to breathe, which can be beneficial when a woman has a condition such as a yeast…
