Why do girls wear panties or underwear, I can understand about bra, but not panties?

[Anonymous]

Hi girls, I want to know the truth. Why do you all wear panties for the exception of the time during you'll period. Please don't tell me any stupid answer like its to cover your stuff, to keep perverts out, or high gene issues. This is all BS! a guy only knows that you not wearing any if you make it known, most guys thinks if you don't have panties line, your wearing strings. As for guys, the same apply for you why do you wear brief. Please don't tell me its to keep unwanted hard ons. I am a guy, an I have stop wearing undies like 4yrs and since then I have not had any unwanted turnons. But I most say it has help me to stop masturbating a lot. The reason why I stop wearing it was because I was sick and tired of summer rashes down there, what about you'll, asked your self seriously, why do I wear undies and then answer this question?

why are people getting so defensive about a simple question?

if you feel offended just pass this one up...

Sorry, but that has got to be one of the dumbest questions I've ever heard. First of all, what's under my pants is my business. Second, I really do not want discharge running down my leg. Third, I do not want my jeans or sweatpants rubbing up against my vag. Fourth, I do NOT NOT NOT want people seeing my "secret garden" when I'm wearing a mini skirt. AND, I can understand the summer rash thing for dudes, but honestly, the only times my undies have ever given me any discomfort were because the fabric wasn't breatheable, which is an extremely minor problem. If you wash your underwear, and your body, and wear the right kind of underwear, you should have no problem. I can understand why a guy wouldn't want to wear underwear, but girls do not have the same setup downstairs. It's a totally different scenario for us. And, how would you know anything about why a girl wears underwear. Everybody has different reasons.

now its clear that whatever goes on with your body is yours to decide but that is like saying water is wet... but that wasn't really the question right?

especially the last part: "And, how would you know anything about why a girl wears underwear. Everybody has different reasons."

MAYBE THAT IS THE REASON WHY HE ASKS?!

we are all well aware that men and women have a "different setup" "down there" but what people are usually not aware of are the implications of this, and thusly the reason why some people do what they do... again guess why he asked.

for example you might not be aware of this, but unless you are wearing baggy pants, your d*** has to hang either left or right, and when you take larger steps it rubs against your pants and leg causing friction and maybe leading to an erection. (which is the main reason I wear boxer briefs, it minimizes friction)

but thinking about it in a purely theoretic situation, since man cannot gather experience of his own in that field, he maybe goes to a website that allows him to ask questions anonymously because of people like you, one could come to the conclusion that women won't have that exact problem given they don't wear too tight pants. the thing is we cannot know unless we ask, that is what this site is for, questions, not flaming.

so just out of curiosity one could also ask why not use tampax in "that" time of the month (its called period btw...) and concerning regular "leakage" is it so much that you actually have to wear something? what about those girls that still dont?

its just questions, get over yourself and ignore them if its such a problem

[Asker]

I have to say that this is the best answer that I have heard from the question that I have asked. I don't know if women have realized why men does not talk to them about certain issues, but the answered that was give by this person happens to be one of the prime examples "Sorry, but that has got to be one of the dumbest questions I've ever heard. First of all, what's under my pants is my business". Men on the whole hate to be verbable abuse, and it is a prove fact that 3/4 of all women have this

[KittyKlip]

I don't know why some women wear panties and why some don't... Because some choose to go commando often.

I go commando at home because it lets it all breathe and I feel cleaner that way.
But when you go out, you never know what situation may occour. Like oh no, suddenly my period started. Or you get into an accident... Or what if your clothes get wet somehow and you need to dry them?

standing around with no underwear on is not a option.

Also, its can be a security feeling.

Some men probably think its disgusting to go commando themselves... not all men think its fine to let it all hang loose.

For a guy, it’s control. If you wear briefs, you like control. If boxers or less, you don’t care about control in a Darth Vader sort of way.

For women, I find that most women prefer comfort over control. And many will be fine without panties if they are not showing off the goods. Same goes for small chested women. Many will go without bras for the same reason. They like comfortable unless it means showing off too well. Some modesty is good, even if they don’t care who sees their boobs. Go home with these girls and if alone you will find they hardly wear clothes.

But find a girl who is a control freak, and she will have bra and panties on at home, with all her clothes on when awake. Same as a guy. Comfort is something just for bedtime.

[Sanjana_Ahuja]

I am 34 F. I wear bra and panties 24x7. I dont even take off while sleeping. Never knew that we are supposed to take off while sleeping. Only when I grew up I heard from my friends. But I ignored and continued wearing all the time because thats what makes me feel comfortable and secured. So you mean I am a dominating personality? Please explain what control frrak has to do with ones underwear habits.

Okay I have no idea how long this post has been here.. But I've stumbled upon it as I was googling "why do girls have to wear underwear?" simply because my work colleagues (other woman) simply can't understand the fact I literally NEVER EVER EVER wear underwear!!

I am a totally 100% normal human girl, I work full-time as a make-up artist at Mac and all of this crap people are commenting about "discharge getting everywhere" or "100% have to wear them when you have your period because stuff goes everywhere". All of this couldn't be further from the truth.. If you simply follow good hygiene practices nothing will "leak" or go anywhere.

I wouldn't go 'panty-less' in a mini-skirt or anything that would risk flashing something unnecessarily, I have much more respect than that. However I have absolutely no issue with wearing no underwear. And if I do wear underwear which is probably once a month MAYBE, its a tiny g-string that may swell not be there as it is purely for aesthetic purposes.

I also don't wear bra's either :-) A hippy if you will xo

[HerTearsWereMyLight]

I'm just like you and I was actually about to comment the same thing AND I also typed the same question into google. What a coincidence XD.

Good answer!

[sheikho]

gud g i think you are rely gud

[Sexylover456]

We were underwear because it feel lot of comfortable but went i was at home i didn't wear anything because naked is best for me

[A-Soldiers-Wife07]

Btw, we kinda HAVE to wear underwear during that time of the month or else, it'd be all over the place lol.

I think the panties I wear are comfortable. I've tried not to, but, jeans especially, irritate me down in that area. Plus my husband loves it when I get changed and I'm wearing some sexy panties.

Why do girls wear panties or underwear? Well, this is basically why (quite detailed!) and what the different types of panties are for:

Well... things come out the vagina you know, it's not just like skin. There is regular discharge. The vagina is self cleaning, it pushes all its dirt out and onto the panties. On our monthly fertile window, you also lose an egg, it's white sticky globby thing that shows up on your underwear. And like you said there's the blood. Also occasional wetness. That are also has a very delicate ph balance, and is very sensitive. For example, certain fabrics can cause infections in it. I can't imagine how uncomfortable it would be to go pantyless with tight pants, it would be very sore. Also, pants usually have seam up the middle at the front... I'm cringing just thinking about how sore that would be.

To be honest it's really hard to describe what having one is like. It's weird but the only thing similar would be your mouth, but it doesn't close, and stuff comes out of it... kind of like an open wound. It's pretty high maintenance to be honest. Considering all this, it's nice to have some extra protection from the outside world and wear some panties.

Sometimes in summer I will go without, in a long dress perhaps, and though it's nice and airy for a bit, the feeling of underwear feels comforting and I'm so used to putting it on that I couldn't go without. Pretty underwear also makes you feel good. When you buy a new set and it's got a pretty shape it makes you feel good when you put it on.

[ivarei]

because most clothes aren't made of soft, smooth fabric like underwear is. do you think want denim rubbing all up in there? I wear undewear because it's more comfortable and because I'd feel self-sonscious without it.

[audreymarie21]

girls underwear makes a lot more sense then guys boxers.

i wear panties 50% of the time, and the other 50% I don't.

some pants are comfy without anything on, but some are very uncomfortable.

[mormollio]

u kinda have to wear if you don't wanna make a mess in ur pants with periods and discharges >.<

Sides I've been wearing em all my life so I'm used to it xD

[SomeGuy37]

Almost exactly what all the women I have been with have said, and why they ALWAYS need to go to the bathroom, before we get into something that might lead to sex!
yeah, ok, like I don't know, and it's normal, and what's the BIG deal?
a little normal discharge, or maybe a pad, anticipating your period? Maybe it is just more mature guys, that don't care, and expect that, as normal?
Either way, it isn't a big deal, and that's why a lot of women wear underwear!!
Nothing worse, than seeing something wet and nasty at a yoga class, because she hates panty lines!! :(

[Lillee]

Its just a matter of comfort i guess. I like having something down there to cover it up for me. Especially when in skirts, sitting down on the train brings lots of attention to my legs ><

Other reasons is just the discomfort down there and the panties helps protect it xD

[AmyLuv]

uhm wtf?
1. Hygiene
2. make your butt look good
3. more comfortable

what kind of sicko doesn't wear underwear?

[Coulis]

Well, I don't want discharge on my jeans or skirts.

[MarketData]

UK here. Briefs control my wedding tackle at moments of stress.

[Anonymous]

Discharge, periods, so no one sees, and security.. i hate being without undies.

[Anonymous]

[honeylover21]
