    I wear work out shorts with built in panties for cardio and lifting and no panties with yoga pants.

    Not usual to wear different ones in the gym, I wear boxer briefs, not loose cotton boxers I wear all day at the office.

    Bonus: they help keep your junk nice and secure as well!

    I'm gonna pick up some of the wicking ones next week.

    I never wear thongs. They aren't comfortable at all to me. It's a massive wedgie to me personally. I like wearing boy shorts when I work out, and I can rock some bikini bottoms if necessary.

    I can't do thongs, g-strings, or granny panties during a workout or in everyday life.

    +1

    +1 I recently bought a couple pairs of the Under Armour 'cheekies' and I'm really liking those.

    I don't wear any. Just my leggings. Can't find anything comfortable.

    Bikinis and boy briefs work best for me (seamless). A lot depends on what type of workout bottoms I'm wearing (capris/shorts/etc). I do have some nice Nike, Asics, Under Armor workout bottoms that have built in undies made with moisture-wicking material, I go without in those.

    Bottom line, everyone's cha-cha is different, some sweat more, some sweat less.

    Probably TMI, but I don't wear underwear while working out. If they're not there, they can't creep up and make me uncomfortable while I'm finding endorphin bliss.


    I buy gym shorts that have a kind of built in underwear, sort of. Gap sells them. They're pretty comfortable and you don't have to worry about anyone seeing up your shorts.

    I would def not wear a thong when working out. You can get chafing ora UTI. I wear special workout underwear from target. C9 brand. I think they are called hipster style. Super comfy but not all that flattering. Still I'll take comfort and health with vpl over an infection any day.

    Sorry. But you won't get a UTI from a thong. Chafing, perhaps thrush (sweat and non cotton can contribute) but a UTI is caused by germs getting up into your urethra. Not gonna happen from wearing a thong.
    Its like saying you can catch STIs from toilet seats.

    Not to be gross, but UTIs come from bacteria that is in fecal matter. Wearing a thing while working out with lots of movement and sweating could move that bacteria into the lady parts. See doctors quotes on this topic here:http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/4026307/

    I really don't care about anyone seeing my panty line when I'm working out. Who cares? If there is any time in your life where you should be able to just let loose and not give two craps about your personal appearance, it should be when you're working out.

    That being said, either I wear bikini underwear or I go commando when I exercise. That decision is made out of comfort, not vanity.

    Same here. Doesn't seem to bother me to not wear any. Although I pretty much hate underwear in general. I wear it at work, thats bout it!

    I wear lacy butts to work out - kind of like a combination of bikini and thong....

    the back has a bit more coverage than a thong but less than bikini and it's all cotton lace so no ugly lines.

    and cotton so no *itches*

    I would be verrrryyy leery about wearing a thong while working out. Not so much because it may be uncomfortable, but the chances of getting a yeast infection or worse a UTI goes up significantly. That's a warm, moist area when working out and that makes for a breeding ground of bacteria. You should wear cotton seamless to the gym or when working out at all. Sorry to be so graphic, but it's a medical certainty that eventually you will get an infection or rash. Save the thongs for the club or for everyday wear girl!

    Cotton bikinis. Who cares if you have... gasp.. LINES? What's uncomfortable about bikini cut? Are you wearing ones that are too small?
