Question for the lady runners....

goal30Lori

I gotta know... What type of underwear(if any) do you wear for running? I'm torn between comfort and VPL, and going commando seems a bit...sweaty.

What do you do?

Thong....commando....honestly, I end up soaked with sweat any way I do it so I just go with the mood!

Cmccracken1

comfort but i have a pair of sliding shorts or biking shorts you could call them that are really nice and seem to move better.

sweetheart03622

Thong, but that's what I always wear, anything else feels off

jabdye

Can't wear them personally :blushing: -- I wear tights. I do have one pair of runderwear :bigsmile: they are made by Under Armour -- I will wear them if I feel like I need to otherwise I will put shorts over the tights or long shirt or vest.

I run in tankini bottoms. I had trouble with normal undies either riding up or slinking down. Not a real commando person. Swimwear solved all problems and were already in the drawer.

Always have and always will--- go commando

seemichellerun

I wear boyshort underwear (girly boxer briefs) when I work out. It's what I normally wear.

amjmomma

I just use boyshort-style underwear. They said on the package that they don't ride up, and at first, this was true! Now, I think it might be time for some more!

lbetancourt

i always have to wear the shorts that are lined with the panty; therefore, no panty.

Since I wear volleyball low-rise 2.5" shorts to work out, I wear victoria's secret PINK's boyshorts.
If I wear long form fitting pants, sometimes I do not wear underwear, or PINK's boyshorts.

MinnieInMaine

I hate to admit it but I have to wear brief style undies in order to avoid wedgies while running. Normally I wear "hipster" or boyshort styles but they don't stay in place when the booty's shakin.

chuisle

I truly don't understand what the big deal is about VPL when working out (I've seen it come up multiple times).

There are just times when a girl needs to wear whatever is comfortable and running is one of those times!

snowflakelaia

what is "commando"?
cammouflage colored underwear? military pants?

snowflakelaia

ohhh ok ok
I didn't know that hehehe

Thanks!

rockabyesarojane

well to be honest. i wear granny panties when i run. LOL

but they dont shift around as much and i shower and change after workouts anyway.

cokpara

Thong, but you know there's a big difference between your hangout everyday wear undies and the ones you workout in. Prime example, lace undies... probably not the greatest idea. Learned that from years of experience, you just gotta find out what's right for you.

DancingFox

Honestly...? Commando. I have yet to discover something that doesn't chafe, so I just ditched them all together. :P

whiskey9890

i go for comfort, personally i could do with ditching the sports bra and finding some sport pants i get some serious jiggling going on back there lol

themyriadthings

I do the boyshort underwear that's in girl panty fabric - gives me some extra support and total butt coverage!

SweetP88

I go commando.....only in black pants/capris/shorts so the sweat does not show....gross I know but it really is the most comfortable and then nothing crawls up your bum!!

What is VPL?

WrenLynn

What is VPL? Stands for Visible Panty Line.

I have three primary options depending on how hot it is out:

If I'm in running tights, I wear my Patagonia Active hipsters. They don't move. EVER!

If it is hot out, I wear the Nike running shorts with the panty built in (Can I just say that I LOVE these? I haven't had a running wedgie in months! Chub Rub? That's a different story!)

Or, I go commando.

LixxiKitti

do you have Bonds brand where you live? i wear the cotton, really unsexy sport undies from them...dont really care about the VPL to be honest when i'm running, so long as they dont ride up my *kitten*....i look like a hot mess anyway, when i'm sweating and red in the face, the VPL is really the least of my worries!

I've just Googled these to see if we can get them in the UK, as they sound like just what I'm after, but they're £24 per pair! That's about $30ish. Is that right?

yrflores

I confess that I go commando. It's only in the last year or so that I've started doing this. I figured that all of my running shorts and skirts have panties or shorts attached, and it just seemed like undies added an unnecessarily sweaty layer that I had to peel off. My husband is shocked ('cuz I never go commando any other time) but I'm happier with less on.

You can find them on sale at different sites. I think I saw some ot this style on clearance in other colors for $12 US. I've found them at REI, Backcountry.com, and Sierra Trading Post. I actually bought them for back packing and hiking trips as they can double as bikini bottoms if we find a nice waterfall, and dry very quickly without the 'butt itch' like cotton panties.

COTTON BLOOMERS aka GRANNY PANNIES!! I HATE Thongs, will NEVER wear them.....

Flyntiggr

Cotton is hte worst though! Doesn't wick anything away and WILL cause chafing!
