    I wear boy shorts in technical fabric - no point wearing something technical on the outside just to have something cotton holding on to all that moisture.

    I can't do commando - it feels weird to me.

    I wear a type of spandex compression short UNDER my running shorts and use those as the underwear...i would just consider them underwear unless you are wearing them alone.

    I always wear underwear, just in case I get hit by a car or something while out running. What would the paramedics think lol? :smile:

    As a retired paramedic, the lack of underwear wouldn't even register on my gaff meter. You would not believe the things I've seen. :laugh:

    As for the underwear question, nope, I don't wear 'em.

    I normally don't wear any when i workout either. The compression pants do good keeping everything in place. Now if i have on some thongs I'll leave them on but any other cut of underwear tend to ride up as I workout making things uncomfortable. Long as your pants aren't see thru i think you'll be just fine going w/out.

    Always wear panties when working out! Just the thought of going w/out makes me cringe!

    You should always wear underwear . I wear boy shorts . If you don't wear panties you have a good chance of getting a camel toe .

    I wear comfortable underwear and have visible panty lines. Guys are too busy looking at my *kitten* to notice the panty lines (I've asked).

    Nice!

    :laugh: Me, too! Oh, and I don't wear spandex pants for running. I prefer loose-fitting basketball shorts (a little shorter than knee length ones). I definitely have to wear underwear under those. I don't care for the breeze blowing through.

    I have some thongs that are loose, seamless, and made of breathable synthetic fabric for working out. I wear those when I run.

    I wear either a seamless cheeky boy short or athletic thong under my compression pants when I lift, and I always do a bend over test to make sure my pants aren't see-through. (I bend over and look at my butt in the mirror at home or ask someone to look at my butt and tell me if my underwear show) There's nothing worse than doing bent over rows with pants that are see through and people being able to see your underwear. I see this in the gym almost every single day.

    Lululemon yoga pants are completely see through when women bend over, FYI.

    The only time you'll catch me wearing underwear while running is if it's FRIGID out and an extra layer on my behind feels warm. I hate sweaty, bunched up undies! My running shorts are either compression or they are running shorts with the built in "drawers." Way more comfy to go sans undies!!

    Undies with spandex but not with running shorts with a liner. I try to pick panties that don't make lines, but basically I don't care. If anyone is that close for that long when I'm running, I have something far more serious to worry about.
