Drew Barrymore Prefers No Panties

Drew Barrymore is the October cover star for 'REAL SIMPLE.'
"My daughter Frankie will pants me as a joke. I tell her, ‘You’re going to do this in the wrong place one day,'" joked Barrymore, who is also a mom to her daughter Olive, who turns 13 on September 26. (The mother-of-two shares her kids with ex-husband Will Kopelman.)
Explaining her reasoning for often going commando, the Charlie's Angels star admitted: "I just don’t really love underwear, and if I put some on, it’s going to be really big and cottony."
Similarly, Barrymore has a strong stance on whether it is acceptable to wear socks to bed.
"Never. Not a day in my life. Nothing more claustrophobic," she argued.

Elsewhere in her interview, Barrymore provided several other debatable opinions — including a controversial discussion about whether to brush your teeth before or after breakfast.
"After," she insisted, claiming people who do so before "are all do-gooders who are healthy."
"They probably are the same people who drink 80 ounces of water a day," the E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial actress quipped.
Once she's up and brushed, there's no mid-day sleep for Barrymore.
"Never been able to do it. I want to say yay, but I have to say nay. I can't nap. My brain's going too fast," she joked about not being a napper.
