I have a bad habit of not wanting to wear underwear. >.<
Would that be considered unhealthy? And if so, what types of problems could it cause?

I have the same habit... and I have plenty of friends who do the same. It can actually be healthier to go without as long as your clothing is appropriate. I wouldn't do it with really tight jeans, 'cause I can see how that might cause irritation. Your panties are more of a barrier to protect your clothing than something to protect you.

from what all of my gynecologists have told me, not wearing underwear can help keep you healthy, especially if you are prone to infections. underwear traps in moisture which can lead to yeast infections and other bacterial infections- for this reason, many women with infections of the like choose to not wear underwear to allow fresh air down there and keep moisture at a minimum. if you do choose to wear underwear you should wear 100% cotton underwear which will also let air in, as nylon and other synthetic fabrics trap in moisture. i do understand how it might cause irritation from your pants rubbing against the skin, but if you don't have any irritation from that, then in my opinion it's not a bad thing- it is all preference.

I have never heard of it being unhealthy. Yes it is important to get some air flow down there. I have gone without before when I have had an infection or if my daughter has I have let her go without around the house to help get some air to that area. I have to agree that undies do trap moisture, but I couldn't imagine me going out without them on unless I was just wearing joggin shorts or something. Around the house is fine for me. No worries. Go without them if you like. It is just a metter of preference.

I don't wear underwear either and I don't because it's easier and more comfortable for me. I haven't had any probelms and I've been doing it for a long time. One thing I have noticed though is that I'm a lot drier than I was before and that makes sex and activities like that much more difficult.

Possible irritation depending on how tight you wear your pants and how large the outer labia are. I go without underwear quite often and haven't had a problem except when my pants were too tight.

I wear tongs and they are the lightest underware you can wear, according to my belief. I wouldnt exactly like not wearing any underware, thats just me. Yet Ive done it to flirt with my husband on dinner dates and such. Guys like the thought. If your wearing pants, not wearing underware couldnt hurt, yet a skirt, Ide be self concious that my dress would fly up and all would get a eye full.
Its your choice, what you want to do.

Just make sure you wash your pants as frequently as you would underwear to keep things clean and sanitary.
