    Thank you, couldn't have phrased that better myself.

    I didn't ask this question to get all the 'I'm there to work out, not to pick up guys/girls, I don't care if I have a pantyline' shade; good for you.
    I'm not there to pick up anyone either, I'm in a happy relationship, and even if I wasn't.. The gym would be the last place I would go to flirt.

    I just happen to have an issue with my pantyline showing in tight pants. It's a personal thing that I'm hyper-aware of when it's happening.
    If you don't, again, good for you, but don't assume my issue has anything to do with sexual attractiveness. :|

    +1 Why can't a girl just want to look good, in general. Take pride in your appearance.

    Oh I must have missed the part about picking people up? What's wrong with trying to pick someone up, anyway?

    Absolutely nothing!

    ...as long as you're not doing it sitting on a weight bench someone's waiting on, I don't give a sh**. You do you. ;)

    Just my own curiosity here, answer if you wish; but if you see a woman who is "I give no shiets about VPL" do you ladies judge her for being so called "tacky"?

    Of course not. Whatever gets you to the gym and doing your thing. I also don't judge the women there with their hair and makeup done or the people that are there in cotton or sweats or the people decked out in head to toe cute name brand stuff. We are all different in and out of the gym. Showing up is all you gotta do! Everyone should do what makes them most comfortable and most likely to come back the next day.

    Yes, this question.
    I found mine at Winners which is always a crap-shoot. However I was browsing in Lululemon on my lunch and they had a few different styles. I know they're expensive but they do hold up well.

    Also saw some cute little booty shorts at Victoria Secret that I think would work well. You could wear them alone if you're confident, or under some comfy shorts if not.

    No. In fact, I probably wouldn't even notice.

    Same here, I don't give a hoot or holler what any other person is doing or looks like in the gym. They showed up, that's all that matters. B)
    (My personal aversion to pantylines does not translate to judgement of others. Just like my aversion to gin doesn't translate to judging gin-drinkers.)

    If you have that problem, underwear alone won't be much of help anyway.

    I haven't had kids but I do get that problem on occasion. So I wear a (ultra-thin) maxi-pad when I work out as "insurance". At the risk of TMI, the leak is usually very little--a teaspoon's worth, maybe. But that's still enough to be unpleasant, and maybe show, so I wear a pad.

    (add: honestly it's very rare lifting weights, but of concern during Aikido if I take a hard fall.)

    What brands have you seen of these? :)

    I've seen them a lot of places, actually, but they usually come as running shorts, and for me the shorts portion rides up between my legs to give me a front-wedgie.

    I think Athleta may have a skort version, but all their stuff is expensive.

    Nope.

    I'm not even sure why it would be tacky. VPL is a sign of wearing underwear. If I try to look at it through a traditionally conservative lens, that would seem to be the opposite of tacky. (I'm thinking of tacky as being brash.)

    Honestly the only time I notice clothes at the gym is if it is wildly inappropriate (like, trying to work out in business clothes, or barely-legal skin exposure like some of the "before" outfits on "Love, Lust or Run".), or if it's something I think is cute and want to buy for myself somewhere.

    I wear thongs when working out. I've always been fortunate with underwear that it doesn't get in the places I don't want, but if I went commando it would.
    I don't like having a vpl when working out. I get paranoid the people behind me on the machines are judging me on my choice of underwear...

    i normally look terrible at the gym. I always forget my clothes and home and have my partner bring me something, and idk why but he always brings me like giant shin length basketball shorts and stretched out tube socks. haha. i always wear seamless underwear and I've never notices any problem. i wear mostly black. very black. i bought some heather gray tights to wear and like have only worn them once. lol. you can see everything. never had any issues w/ wedgies..

    Perfect. I was just thinking about searching for one of the old threads on this.

    I was fine before but suddenly my butt is eating every single pair I put on and creating some awful weird lines. Looks like thong is the answer for girls who have butts that eat their underwear alive.

    Boy shorts are AWFUL for me.

    It's even happening in normal clothes :s

    I thought cotton was encouraged over other fabrics because it breathed better? I've always read that in all those "Healthy Tips for Your Vagina" articles, they push the cotton. :p

    Cotton does "breathe" better which makes it ideal for staying cool and comfortable. However, if you are working out and sweating it will absorb the sweat/moisture and hold it next to your skin which can cause issues with chafing/irritation/etc. Panties made with a synthetic fabric that wicks is a superior choice for those times. Bottom line: Cotton is great for daily wear.. Synthetic for exercising.

    Ugh, disgustingly true.

    Bahahaahahaha what you call flip flops are what we call thongs in Australia. I was wondering why ask you girls wear flip flops to the gym. Then I translated and I haven't stopped laughing at myself since.
    As for undies, I can't go commando. I'm too scared. But I'm having a lot of trouble with the wedgies....
    I might try wearing a g string and see how that goes

    I wear women's briefs. Comfortable and don't ride up

    Target now sells women's Hanes dri fit underwear with moisture wicking and seamless in thongs, sport cut and hipsters. They're roughly $20 for 3 pairs. They stay in place and I've worn them with my yoga pants and have no panty lines.

    I wear boyshorts and booty shorts. Along with a tank top or some shirt I have from my school with my sports bra.

    Commando with compression shorts/pants. Dri-fit from Nike is good.

    TBH, I don't really care if I have panty lines at the gym, or if my butt looks good while I'm squatting. I'm not there to look pretty, I'm there to work.
