Going commando - any advice?

After having vulval LP for about 4 years, I've been advised by my gynaecology consultant to go without underwear while in the house and not to wear trousers. As I've been living in jogging pants since the start of the pandemic I can see this is going to be difficult. Interestingly, a determatologist I saw at a different hospital some time ago, told me that wearing underwear and even pant liners doesn't make any difference to LP. Has anyone else had the same advice? If so, what changes did you make?
