    I've been using compression underwear, especially for cardio, but thats to keep things in place :) Not sure if they're feasable/needed for women

    Yea I did Insanity one time in boxer shorts and I think I performed a helipenis about 5 times. That was the last time I wore those.

    Can't...get...image...out...of...head :noway:

    I once tried to go commando in my compression shorts... Can we say Chafing anyone? So, back I went to my nice comfy cotton "mom undies" (not granny panties). I'm in it to get in shape, not for a fashion show.

    I go commando, it is comfortable and I don't have to pick a wedgie out every 5 mins.

    usually commando too - nothing worse than sweaty wet underwear making you feel you p!$$ed yourself.

    I use under armour boy shorts or compression shorts. Or on upper body days I just wear a workout skirt that has built-in shorts

    Go for the built in undies if you like to go commando, they will ensure that you will not get the toe :laugh:

    I use LuluLemon Running Shorts with the built in undies, even with undies in other pants there was always a chance for it but because the shorts fall over the sewn in undies you never get one! It's fantastic, and I know there are many other brands out there I just happen to like the styles that LuluLemon sells.

    If my legs were less flash of the dead flesh I would show you what the shorts look like after a vigorous workout doing zumba and such. they ride up in the crooks of the legs but not the crotch lol.

    I wear the generic walmart brand thong. I won't wear anything else to run in.

    ETA - the lace one. It breathes well.

    I am 100000 times more worried about a camel toe than I am about freaking panty lines. PRIORITIES. I would rather someone see the outline of my underwear than I would them see every single crevice of my cooch.

    I like microfiber thongs for working out. Very comfortable.

    Am I the only girl who doesn't care if I have a visible panty line? :P

    It doesn't bother me, either!

    I wish I had advice OP, but a few panty lines are the least of my worries when I'm working out lol. I wear huge, ugly granny panties under my clothing and they're really comfortable. No wedgies over here! I usually change out of them immediately after my work out.

    I hope you find something comfortable though!

    ^^ I don't care about panty lines either but camel toe is not cool in my opinion. I would definately find away to get rid of that. Fortunately for me, I don't have that problem so I have no advice to give.

    I mostly go commando because when I sweat with spandex or elastic against my skin I tend to get rashes. I even have to be careful about how the bands of shorts or bras are formed. But, the hanky panky retro things work surprisingly well if you are wanting to go the underwear route. Mostly though I choose pants that avoid camel toes. I have a pair of old school lined spanx yoga pants that are great. or regular pants, look for ones that have contoured (rather than single seam all the way from front to back) crotches and ones that are double thick instead of single. This will usually avoid the CT.

    I use the seamless yoga undies from Victoria Secret, I cannot have thongs up my butt during my workouts.

    Sweaty people going commando... I sincerely hope you are super diligent with wiping down gym equipment. :sick:

    You could try sticking a panty liner on the inside of your pants. If they're tight enough to cameltoe, they will hold the liner in place...

    I wear regular cotton thongs, no wedgies, no commando, no pantyline.

    This. I don't care at the gym.

    I would think going commando would create more moisture? No?

    Camel toe is a shorts/pants issue, not underwear. If your bottoms are so tight that they are riding up into the holiest of holies, you need pants that fit looser.


    Meh, I like my shorts painted on.

    I think there should be a class on appropriate workout attire. Hate seeing all the panty lines. No panties here!!
