Women Are Having A Heated Debate About Going Panty-Free That Will Leave You Shocked

“I wouldn’t say I have an excessive amount of discharge, maybe more than the average woman. I really don’t have a point of comparison, but I do not require panty liners. Still, going commando would be a no from me. I can’t predict my discharge! It’s different textures and amounts at different times of the month, and occasionally I get a bit of a ‘flood,’ which I also believe is normal. It is completely unpredictable! Also, discharge can bleach underwear. Would it not bleach your clothes if you went commando? What about getting caught by the unexpected arrival of a period? There are just so many ways I can see it going wrong. If you feel comfortable going commando, go for it. You do you.”

“Yeah. I feel like I must be juicier than average because there’s no way in hell I’d even remotely consider not wearing underwear (and a liner).”

“At 19, I wouldn’t have been able to either, I don’t think. At 35, one week out from my period, it’s a no-go. But I think the rest of the month, besides my period, it’s not really an issue.”

“Sometimes the vagina ‘slime’ is not an issue, but sometimes it is. I think it varies with the time of month, at least for me. Sometimes I’m more juicy than others.”
