    I would def not wear a thong when working out. You can get chafing ora UTI. I wear special workout underwear from target. C9 brand. I think they are called hipster style. Super comfy but not all that flattering. Still I'll take comfort and health with vpl over an infection any day.

    I too go sans undies while working out, unless they are absolutely necessary (TOM). Way more comfortable that way. I can't stand my undies riding up while I'm running, and nothing worse than having a wedgie while in the squat rack...lol!!

    I honestly don't know how anyone works out in a thong - can just imagine the discomfort squatting! :ohwell:

    I usually wear cotton briefs or girl boxers - both of which are pretty loose around that area. Can't say I'm too bothered about knicker-lines tbh (in the gym anyway!)

    For me personally, it depends on the type of workout I'm doing. If I'm running bleacher circuits or doing an HIIT workout, I prefer cotton bikinis. If I'm walking, jogging, running sprints, etc. I love my boy shorts. I did find that size matters for sure! If they aren't tight enough they crawl too much, if they are too tight they cause more chaffing and discomfort. That's my two cents.

    I actually have specific "work out undies" as a reward for X amount of weight loss!! I haven't decided exactly at what amount lost I'm going to put it yet (probably when my regular underwear starts getting big, haha) but it will happen! Probably something like the Moving Comfort Workout Bikini, but I still need to do some research.

    Of course, I'm also an avid hiker, and things like uncomfortable underwear can REALLY kill you on a 17 mile trek, so they'll be serving double duty in that regard.

    Probably TMI, but I don't wear underwear while working out. If they're not there, they can't creep up and make me uncomfortable while I'm finding endorphin bliss.

    Haha this is what I do now so that's why I am asking others opinions

    Hahah I actually tend to go for the undies that GIVE me lines. Those are the ones with the tight elastic that keep them in place. Wedgies suck. So I go for full coverage bikini or just... regular. I don't even know what they're called. You could try wearing loose running shorts (the pretty black ones with the vibrant coloured piping on the edges)

    I think it depends on your body type. I thought 'boy shorts' would work well for working out but my thighs touch and I found them riding up on me and bunching up in my crotch. I prefer a bikini type that are seamless. I don't really care about a seam showing it is more for chafing or bunching ..if they are seamless this won't happen.

    Under armour, asics, lululemon all make undies. I do have two pair of under armour..I think they are called "pure stretch cheeky underwear' and they are my favorites.

    Thanks for the brands, I'll check it out

    I hate the lines, so I wear what I wore to work- usually Hanky Panky thongs (which are super comfy)

    I'll check these out

    I normally wear thongs, but try to go for boy shorts during workouts.

    Oh Emm Gee! I never wore any underwear once when I went to do a workout at the gym and it was one of the most embarrassing moments in my life......:ohwell: The sweat mark down there looked like I had pi*sed myself! I always wear underwear now! Bahahahahaha :laugh:

    I love ex officio bikinis and/or I wear yoga pants that have cotton liner on inside sans the bikins ---and running shorts with built in panties...I don't even notice the undies in the right size they don't ride up and they do cover smoothly...

    I am a waist high french cut thigh area cotton and lycra girl. I want something snug that will not shift but has good coverage and does not cut in in uncomfortable places. Works for me. :-)

    I wear cotton briefs due to how sweaty I get. Wearing anything else is asking for problems, as far as my body is concerned!

    ^^^ Peeling sweaty undies off your sweaty body is gross, but cotton all the way. Who gives a hoot about panty lines when you are working out anyway? If you are concerned about how you look, you aren't working out hard enough.

    I always like wearing the big baggy waist high granny knickers under my trackpants or yoga wear.

    Add me to team commando.

    I tried wearing my normal thong to play hockey…once. I almost needed a crowbar to remove THAT wedgie.

    ^^^^ THIS! totally, this.

    Same here, although I've tried the seamless ones from Lululemon and they were alright. Not keen on spending that for workout underwear, and also having to pack different underwear for the gym. I just go without most days.
