I know it's kind of a TMI question, but what kind of underwear do you wear during your workout?? I have been walking/jogging and I find nearly all types of undies uncomfortable. I know cotton is always recommended but even cotton isn't comfortable.

    Honestly? I work out at home and go out for runs before dawn so I usually don't wear any.

    Hhhmmmm......I haven't tried not wearing any. Might just have to try this if I can't find comfy ones :)

    Most of the time I don't wear any. Maybe you can try that and see how you feel. I think it's the most comfortable.

    I'd love to hear some answers. Mine ride up and give me terrible wedgies when I work out. Everyone at the fitness center has seen me trying to unwedge.

    I don't find cotton ones comfortable either. Try a cotton/spandex blend or a soft microfiber pair. I like Hanes or Bali personally.

    Actually, cotton is rarely recommended.

    it's all personal preference... brand, material, fit, etc. It took me several tries to find some I liked.

    As a guy, my preferences probably don't mean much to you.

    I have this question as well. I'm not ready to go commando just yet, and would be interested to know what type of underwear others wear when working out. I would like some comfortable one and wonder if they have any with moisture wicking fabric as well.

    I work out at home, so I wear whatever, just not usually thongs. But, my last few races, I've had panty issues. So, for my last one, I was running in tights, and didnt want issues, so I tried a thong. It was great. While it doesn't matter much at home (and I'm not running a ton right. Now), ill definitely be purchasing some "sport things" for future race use and. Possibly the few times a year I actually go to a gym to work out.

    When I do a gym workout I am good with a thong/g-string but it seems like when I do my outside workout it's different. I'm nervous about going without but I'm thinking I do need to try it!!

    I always get Under Armour shorts with the built in undies for running. They stay in place well. I do also like the new UA ones I think they are called the pure stretch: they have both thongs and cheeky ones that fit pretty well.

    I get the seamless boy shorts from Lane Bryant and absolutely love them for regular wear and workouts. They don't get wedgied up as much and are very comfortable to wear, regardless of the range of motion. The fabric is like microfiber and has a lot of stretch.

    Without is definitely the most comfortable!

    I'm not quite to the point where I can go walking/jogging in shorts. I have really big thighs and they still rub together a lot. Do they have these in capris?

    I will just add that for people who deal with chafing, especially on the inner thigh, there are some great products (body glide is probably the best known) to help with this specific problem. It can make all the difference in the world. Then all you need are clothes that actually stay in place.
