    Always a thong! Maybe a liner would help with Uti?


    You know I would try this if I wasnt afraid that somehow it would work itself out and be stuck to my calf while doing squats . hahahaha or worse fall out with a trip to the bathroom then get stuck on my shoe.

    Maybe I worry to much.. hahaha



    I'm thinking that a woman at my gym did this because one day, not long ago, she had a liner stuck to the inside of her thigh. She didn't even know it. Yes, I walked over and said something IN CASE she cared. She did. I haven't seen her at the gym lately. Hopefully, she will recover.

    I stick to boy shorts. I can't get used to thongs and I refuse to go commando. Took awhile to find the right pair of boy shorts though. I have Vanity Fair now and they are super silky and actually make the butt look better in lycra.

    I know this is gross, but the reason thongs cause UTIs is because very small amounts of fecal matter get on the thong and travel down to where your urethra is (not to mention other lady parts). I stopped wearing thongs years ago once I learned that they are a poop highway :noway:

    I wear mostly seamless panties (briefs, bikinis, hipsters, whatever) in some kind of blended wicking fabric. For me the concern is more swamp butt and bunching than panty lines, because really people should mind their own damn business during workout time in terms of what other people are wearing (besides things like "hey, where did you get that, it looks cute and comfortable and functional", which people have asked me, and that I don't mind - it's also kind of funny because the leggings that have gotten the most comments are from Old Navy - they're decently functional and they look good but, you know, you get what you pay for and they're pilling up already). I don't go commando because then I'd have to wash my gym clothes just that much more often.

    Clearly thongs are not an option if they give you UTI's. Wear seamless panties or seamless briefs, or if you're comfortable in shorts, wear running shorts with lining and go commando.

    Wow, I never knew how many people dispensed with the gruds when they worked out. It seems kind of, um, unhygenic? I always wipe stuff down before picking it up or lying on it, now I know why it's such a good reason. Haha! And the staff thought I just had out of control OCD!!

    Now tomorrow at the gym, I'm going to be looking at people and thinking 'are you one of THEM?'

    I have some silk underwear doesn't give a VPL under anything, but they cost a king's ransom and I'm not going to waste them at the gym. I just wear cotton hipsters.

    if your worry about 'showing' your pant lines then i think you doing it all wrong in the gym !!!

    I have exercise/running pants


    its not a crime to care about how you look while you are looking to improve it


    I love how all the people who rock full underwear have such negative things to say about what other people's underwear is and why they are doing the things they do.

    I was unaware that underwear choices gave indication to my motivations and reasons to be at the gym.

    I am commando or thong- mostly commando- dislike the bunching and any type of underwear effectively winds up in crawling up one side of my booty- but onyl one side- it's horribly.

    And I would also really really love for someone to tell me I'm working out for the wrong reasons and that my training isn't effective because I chose to go commando.

    I have no problem with what people do in the gym when they have no pants on, I am sure it has makes no difference to what you do and how well you do it. I was just really, genuinely, surprised that more people don't see it the way I do - that there should be more than one thin spandex layer between the crotch and the equipment. :sick:

    To that end, I'm taking a gallon of Domestos in with me next time...

    because one extra of lace will prevent my *kitten* sweat and "others"from hitting the bench?

    not buying it.

    you should be wiping your equipment down either way, regardless of the underthings you use.
    Either way- not a concern for me- I only bench squat and DL- my sitting good mornings and dumbbell flies happen on the same bench I bench on- so I only have one thing to wipe down- not a crisis.

    I'm just genuinely surprised at how negative people are about "alternative" underwear that quiet frankly we should be well beyond on this day and age in terms of "judging". seriously- it's a thong.

    I don't do thongs at the gym. I wear bikini cut or boy shorts, my preference is bikini. They are the most comfortable for me, and don't typically bunch up on me. I think the gym is the only time that I don't care if people see panty lines lol

    I don't give a hoot about panty lines: I'm about the comfort factor. Whatever works for you....
    Besides, if *anyone's* looking at my butt for any reason at my age---- BONUS!! lol

    Commando in most of my workout shorts and pants. I have two pairs of shorts that have something "built in". I can't stand working out in any sort of undergarment. It's uncomfortable.
