Is it necessary to wear underwear during pregnancy?

Question

Might sound silly but im 7 months now and everything feels tight n uncomfortable down there. Sometimes i feel like skipping it at home for some air. Just curious what others do.

Shravani Mehta · Answer

No, it is not necessary, especially when you are sleeping. Letting your skin breathe actually helps prevent yeast infections which are very common now.

Yaar actually there's no rule. I switched to soft maternity cotton underwear because normal ones were hurting my expanding waist.

Madhavi Joshi · Answer

Comfort is everything right now. Especially during my C-section recovery, wearing very loose, high-waisted cotton ones was a lifesaver.

Radhika Gautam · Answer

I used to worry about this too and felt so uncomfortable in my normal clothes. Just do whatever makes your body feel relaxed and stress-free.

Suvarna Naik · Answer

My mother told me to wear loose gowns and skip tight underwear at home to avoid skin rashes, it was honestly great advice.

Dipti Dubey · Answer

Honestly, at this point, everything feels so tight and annoying. I mostly go commando at home under my loose maxis, who is going to check!

Kamakshi Shinde · Answer

Totally your choice. If you prefer going without it at home for comfort, go ahead, just wear breathable cotton fabric when you do wear them.

Bharati Dalal · Answer

Do what feels comfortable for u. Just make sure to check with your doctor if you experience any unusual discharge during your regular checkups.
