Underwear for wearing under gym leggings?

Has anyone found underwear that is good for wearing under tight sports leggings?

All of my underwear either rides up awkwardly when I work out or has a very visible underwear line that I put up with but in an ideal world, I'd rather not have a pronounced line.

I've heard that some people go commando but I don't think I'm game to try that.

Anyone else have this problem?

    g-strings or seamless underwear (something like this https://www.victoriassecret.com/panties/no-show-and-seamless/no-show-sexy-thong-panty?cm_sp=&ProductID=198779&CatalogueType=OLS) or find new leggings

    Compression boxer briefs for me.

    I don't like my gf wearing super revealing clothes and I don't do it either

    In the cold weather I wear them with nothing under them but have cycling shorts on over them

    I just broke down and use a thong. The VPL was just still a little too much even with sports underwear (which you can get moisture wicking "no show" Champion underwear) at Target.

    I swear by the Under Armour Pure Stretch Thong. I've always been anti-thong, but these are surprisingly comfortable even for running. I've *never* had a problem with chafing, since the edges are laser-cut instead of hemmed or seamed. And best of all, the extra fabric in the gusset helps ward off camel toe.

    Cue at least one person saying I shouldn't care about that, but I do. So.

    ETA: Reebok has a similar product, that comes in sizes instead of one size fits most.

    The Now Show series from VS are working well for me! I also found that pants/leggings from sport brands can also mask that better than my other workout pants/leggings... just that they're also expensive. Worth the investment though.

    I like Gap or VS lace thongs, they lay flat and stay in place. Same ones I wear for everything else.

    Thongs/seamless panties. Anything will do really. If its a big problem and you cant find any other panties you like - wear a long top that covers your bum. :)

    I only wear gstrings or t-strings to work out. I see some of the "fitness" brands make thongs that look really comfortable. I've been meaning to grab a few.

    Thank you! Um something up my butt while I exercise na im good! Lol. At walmart there are those seamless and there are the ones for dri underwear by avia they are so nice they wick the sweat and are not noticeable I think but they have seamless or bando type undies too. Or you know no undies.

    if you get the feeling that the thong is "up your butt" then you're wearing the grandma version of the thong- wear a real thong that's the right size and you'll never notice it.

    Commando. The only time I wear anything under is when I'm wearing my singlet, and then I swear by lulu's hipsters.

    Me too. The seam in workout wear is too much without undies for me. In other clothes? My butt gets cold now.

    Yup. I think I found some at target or in the PINK section of VS. They're usually on some kind of 5 for $25 deal at either store.
