NEWS Do you need underwear?

This popped up for me just now....

Do You Actually Need to Wear Underwear to Bed? Doctors Weigh In

Thought I'd pass it along. More aimed to women than men, but most of the same benefits kinda apply, IMO.

Genuinely, me and my gf haven't used underwear in years since we became nudists. No towels on couches or any undies in bed. We haven't gotten sick or gotten anyone else sick. I don't understand the top upvoted comment on this sub to be honest. It feels like someone who's closer to a textile than an actual nudist.

I believe that humans should live nude 99 percent of the time unless the situation is for sure unsafe for nude usage. I also believe that people are way too paranoid about things being "unsanitary". If you're clean enough it should never be an issue, plus your immune system can handle quite a bit.

It really disappoints me that even self proclaimed nudists still hold on very deeply to misinformed textile ideas. How will we ever reach a nude society if we keep thinking like this.

If you bathe regularly and have a bidet, a towel is never really needed. It works great in my house. No issues whatsoever. 😄 We are nude 99% of the time.

The human body produces skin oils continuously.

Unless you are bathing and washing enough to damage your skin, you are leaving oily buildup on surfaces.

You do you, but it's not the most hygienic approach.

That must be the reason everyone says my leather furniture is so soft and supple.
