LADIES: Do you Go ... Comando?

Okay. Okay. Okay. I know. This may be TMI but I have to go there. I've been working out for a while now and it never dawned on me until recently. I bought some new workout pants. Woot! Woot! I noticed that they had the extra material in the crotch area as if to say ... No underwear needed here. I thought to myself, I always wear underwear when I work out. I used to wear regular cotton undies but then I hated the panty lines so I switched to thongs. Perfect! But nothing is better than being FREE!!! Of course some of us (me) don't feel a need to wear underwear all the time. Like when going to bed or just lounging around the house. There's no need. But out in public? What would my mother think. lol. I might have to try it out tomorrow during my HIIT. Don't worry. My workout pants are not see through. lol. That would be extremely embarrassing. :x I workout twice a day so no underwear would make for a lil less laundry. I already know what you're thinking - A few pair of undies wouldn't take up much laundry space ... I guess.

GUYS - Feel free to chime in. I know you should wear supportive underwear when doing high impact activity but what about when you're just lifting? Any guys going comando?

I'm sure I'll be at the gym tomorrow wondering "Does he have on underwear?" djm I'm focused at the gym for the most part. :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

@neuro_nut - yup! different pants for running/strength training. I rinse them out and hang them to dry. I properly wash them once a week.

And commando workouts alwayz!!

Unless you're a man and you have to wear those unfortunate, baggy workout shorts, there's no reason to put more stretchy fabric "down there" than is absolutely necessary. :P

On that note: MEN! Can y'all go back to tighter fitting exercise clothes? A la basketball shorts from the 70s? I know it's just me and the other ladies will shout me down, but I stand by my principles! Part of the fun of the gym is checking folks out :P :P

I AGREE. Men in tight shorts while working out should make a comeback.

Underwear is only worn under jeans or dress pants. Otherwise, not worn.

I sweet like mad in that area, so yes I wear underwear, though I wear shorts and commando might show something otherwise when I am seated, on the bench. And most guys I know wear shorts too.

It's bad enough us ladies workout in fitted clothing. Now you have to wonder about whether we are wearing underwear. You men ... smh ...

I'm going comando tomorrow. I'm starting a movement or should I say joining the movement.

Hahaha. This is a good topic.

I go commando sometimes. I just... sorta go commando on some days, so I don't put on underwear just to go to the gym

I usually have a pair of "workout pants" for the week (3 workouts) and I wash or switch them over the weekend. If I'm wearing jeans or a skirt that day, I generally have underwear on, so I leave them on. If I'm wearing yoga pants or leggings that day, I generally do not have underwear on, so I go commando.

In the summer if I work out with short shorts on I'll wear underwear. Until then, you'll never know

I wear double undies at the gym b/c of snail trails that other ladies may leave.
I also wipe everything the F down.
I sit on a towel.

:grumble:

Um, I'm more concerned that people wear workout clothes more than once without washing them. As for commando, I've tried it, but I think there is more chafing without underwear. So I wear very thin microfiber panties...and that works for me. I can't imagine going commando with a skirt. Just sayin'. But live and let live.

Also I'm in favor of tight workout clothes for men!

I skip on the underwear for yoga. In my opinion yoga pants were made to be worn that way. I don't use the machines and stuff though, so I'm not sure about all that. This whole post is kinda hilarious.

Tanya949

I wear yoga pants to work out, but am scared to go commando. I wear very thin microfiber panties, but I think I'd feel better without them, I'm always pulling my pants up in the back and one less layer might feel better. Dunno if I can make the switch tho...

And I ALWAYS wash everything after each work out.

disneygallagirl

+1....who wants to wear stinky workout clothes?! and in for tight workout clothes for men! :laugh:

snoodled

I wash my workout clothes after each wear. I can not imagine not doing so. Whether in panties or not. I sweat when I workout so that automatically disqualifies those clothes for a 2nd round.

I guess depending on the pants you're wearing and your body type, chaffing could be an issues. I've never had a problem with chaffing though.

I wore my biking shorts for well over a year without underwear, and after a race my husband came to pick me up. He never usually saw me in biking shorts, because I bike when he is at work. He immediately noticed that in the right light you could see everything. Everything. I had been biking like that in public, and either no one noticed, or everyone was too afraid to say anything. My advice - if you go commando while working out, look at yourself in a mirror in natural sunlight. Lesson learned.

I'm all about the thong ... But I'm not a fan of comando! Couldn't imagine working out in "normal" underwear, it would get annoying, but thong has never bothered me!

Willbenchforcupcakes

I'm almost always commando at the gym. If I'm wearing looser crops then I'll wear some, but other than that, nope.

There are some men at my gym that should really really start wearing underwear though ...

callmestephanie

Funny you should mention it... I'm commando right now in my work out pants lol. I wouldn't do it in public though, I'm not brave enough for that! haha
