Underwear vs. Commando?

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get in contact with Jana DeLeon for an interview this week. Hopefully I'll be able to catch up with her later this summer if I get a chance to review her other books. So, instead of an interview, I'll ask a question. The main character in Trouble in Mudbug, Maryse, lets just about everyone in town know that she doesn't wear underwear during an ill advised date. Now I know this is just a device for making the book a bit more steamy, but I'd really like to know...does anyone actually go commando all the time? Seems like that would be uncomfortable, but maybe that's just me.
