Sure, there's discharge. But if your clothes are loose enough, most of it will evaporate away. And if I'm wearing a dress, I'm wearing SOMETHING under the dress. Back then, it was the pantyhose. Nowadays, I would be wearing bike shorts under a dress. Unless it's a semi formal affair, where I would be wearing pantyhose again.
But most days, I wear jeans, slacks, shorts, etc...and yeah...I go commando. I put on fresh clean clothes every day.
The moisture might evaporate away, but the potential for retaining bacteria doesn't just disappear, but as long as you don't mind wearing something once, then having to wash it, go for it.
I can't imagine all the loads of laundry you have to do, wearing a pair of jeans/pants/shorts once. I get about three days wear with mine unless I spill something on them or brush up against something dirty.

I have been thinking the same thing since I read this: I change my undies every morning unless I am going shower late in the day; that would be the one time I might end up wearing a pair more than a day: change after shower and wear the next day. But I wear jeans, at least 2 and sometime 4 days: I would rater do an extra batch of laundry of just under garments once a week then think about how many batches 7 pair or jeans or pants would take up
I would suspect many people change their underwear when they shower/bathe, whether that is every day or on some other schedule.
That's pretty much my hubby, but he changes them a little more often then just shower days. As we have gotten much older, slower moving and inclined not to do much physical work showering is no longer a daily thing.
I'll admit I've worn the same pair for more than one day while camping/backpacking. But I can see that puts me in good company (45% of Americans). Certainly not going to hurt anyone if it is occasional.
Having 50 pairs of underwear that you change throughout the day because "why not?" is the opposite extreme. I have better things to spend money on than superfluous underwear! And it gives me a funny picture of someone turning off the TV, sitting there for a minute wondering what to do next, and going, "I know! I'll go change my underwear! Why not?"
I do too. I work in remote Alaska and we transport multiple heavy bags all over the state by plane, auto, dogsled, snowmobile, and hand over the course of several weeks, which leads us to pack our personal bag as light as possible. Space and weight is at a premium. When I was first starting the job, I, like most newbs, was guilty of the dreaded sin of overpacking. I was discussing how to pack more efficiently with my coworker on my next trip. She said, "I wear the same outfit day after day and only change when it starts to stink."
All depends on your living environment. Single, a loner, never gets any company, retired like myself, once a week! And I shower once a week, supplemented by "cat baths". And at 70, my dating days are long over.

I've backpacked...heavy backpacking, with snow crossings and stream crossings and lots of dirt...for a week at a time, with two pairs of socks, two pairs of underwear, two T-shirts, one pair of shorts, and no showers. It really is a nonissue in the moment. I'll happily trade nonessential luxuries for the experience.
Afterwards, though, I have to admit nothing feels better than a long, looonnng hot shower and clean clothes.
Wonder what the people who don't wear underwear are thinking....shhhh
This is a true story:
Once, this guy went to a party and got drunk. And he went to the washroom, and ended up had to go to the ER for his zipper was pulled up half way and his john john got caught in the zipper because he did not wear underwear. Crazy, eh?

Sure you didn't just watch Ben Stiller in There's Something about Mary?
