......for working out? Be it either running, biking, hitting the weights or whatever makes you sweat?

Me...I'm a Fruit of the Loom cotton girl myself. I know that cotton is not the best but I can't see wearing nylon or whatever for running or biking...no stretch, comfort or move ability. By the end of my workout though my undies are usually a wet soppy mess.
So does anyone have something beyond cotton undies that work?....that are inexpensive, wisk sweat away and are comfortable?

Sorry about the TMI! :blushing:

    Since I workout when I get home from work, I'm in the same undies. I do switch from my pants to a pair of shorts though. And yes, I also wear cotton. Synthetics give me a rash. :wink:

    For me...just plain ol' FOTL or Hanes cotton bikinis. No use getting all fancy when they're just going to get sweaty anyway!

    Depends on the activity, under my tri shorts / running tights I use under armour compression shorts. If I'm just rolling out of bed and going for a run (or heading out after work) I'm just a Stanfields kind of guy.

    If I'm going on a long run or running a race I'll use my under armour - I find that ordinary cotton gets gross (soggy & clammy feeling).

    This reminds me of the time my friend wore a quick dry thong with cotton pants to the gym. She was walking around with a thong shaped wet spot on her pants!
    I wear regular cotton myself.

    If I'm wearing gym pants, I go commando, why is there a need for undies? Most gym shorts have the undies in them already.

    If I'm working out at home, it's whatever I was wearing for the day...or none.

    If I'm going for a jog I like my Tilley "travel" undies.

    Vs cotton thongs. The best and no riding up, because they're already there. :-D

    I usually wear my running shorts that have a panty liner in them, so no undies.

    Under Armour compression shorts.

    this is all i wear anymore, but i like the nike ones better, they are more expensive, but worth the money imo, they are more comfortable around the waist, and seem to breathe better, cause they are a bit thinner.

    i dont wear undies under my workout clothes....they move around too much...

    i typically wear bike shorts or capris that are spandex so they are tight against my skin the way i like it when working out...

    I assumed everyone went commando with workout clothes since they have the undies build in. I guess if I was going to wear regular shorts I'd have on my daily wear boxer-briefs. I don't like the thought of having a wad of wet cotton between my legs though.

    Same. Mine were in the hamper the other day, so I worked out in my regular boxer briefs... It was awful lol. UA is just awesome when it comes to workout gear IMO

    I run in under armour underwear. A little pricey but worth it because I sweat - a lot! For every day workouts I usually wear Body by Victoria. For all of you ladies going without underwear, make sure your pants aren't see through. I've seen way too many woman with nothing on underneath not realizing their butt crack can be seen through their workout pants.
