    I don't wear underwear at all... (I wear boy shorts in the summer under skirts etc.) with leggings just make sure that you get a good quality brand and you wont have to worry about it being see through. I don't wear the cheaper ones to the gym, those are only used when I am wearing a longer shirt that covers the important areas :p

    Thongs for sure. I like to have more than one layer of fabric over my hoo hoo, but don't like butt lines! You have to get soft, cotton, athletic thongs, though, that stay put.

    +1 but I live in thongs so YMMV

    My go to for all wear lately is maidenform cotton boyshorts with the lace waist. I buy decent workout leggings (I don't mean $$ I just mean keep an eye on what you buy, I'm a TJ Maxx shopper myself) and have never had a problem with them being see through.

    I wear underwear under my leggings. I buy a thinner type and don't have any lines that I can notice. I also try to buy thicker leggings. The black leggings that I love can get a little see through if you're bending over, so I make sure to wear black underwear with them.

    I wear a thong to workout. Usually I wear yoga pants instead of leggings though and it totally depends what workout I’m doing on if I’m going to wash my yoga pants after every workout. Doing actual yoga or body flow I don’t sweat. Zumba or a hard cardio I will wash them.

    Also upvote for please wash your workout gear after each wear.

    Yes!! I'm sweaty, other people using machines that I'm now sitting on are sweaty...workout clothes get washed every single time. I'll gladly do the extra laundry!

    I wear form fitting leggings to work out, that are not see through, I test them before I wear them outside of my home haha. But I don't wear anything under them. I think because I tend to wear thongs usually and I found it was just super uncomfortable to work out in a thong no matter what kind of pants I'm wearing.

    Fabletics heavier weight leggings and Under Armor microfiber thong. No one will see anything you don't intend to show, your bits will be able to breathe and it's all like second skin--so comfy, no issue doing any workout including couch surfing and cute enough to wear out.

    I think it depends on how the pants are constructed, how the gusset is placed, or if there isn't one. It also depends on activity and what you find to be comfortable. No gusset=usually a thong, good quality pants with a comfortable gusset might=no undies. However, it was that TOM and I was worried about leaks, so I wore bikini undies last time under my leggings to lift. Today I wore old navy crop leggings and no undies...

    Might be too much of a TMI question....BUT I'm just curious, do you wear underwear with your leggings?! I don't wear leggings when I workout, I've always just worn loose sweats or baggy pants. I like the way leggings look but I'm too paranoid about them being see through while doing squats or underwear lines.

    I wear underwear with leggings. I just don't mind the underwear lines. Or maybe u can buy a leggings that cloth thicker.

    People wear leggings without underwear?!? :-O

    I swear some girls just don't have ANY lines showing what so ever! It makes me assume that it's normal not to lol

    You can also get seamless underwear that don’t show under leggings if you don’t want lines or to wear a thong :smiley:

    The active wear pants/leggings I purchased through Victoria's Secret are nice and thick, so I do not wear anything underneath. I tried to wear a thong a couple times and it was so uncomfortable. I usually do kickboxing so maybe it was just too much movement.

    My leggings are also fleece lined, and I wear long shirts and undies with them. My daughter wears as pants, and as long as they fit properly and aren't worn thin, they look fine, but she wears undies, just in case. If I can see the pattern of her undies, then the legging go away from lol.

    I think some girls wear thongs under them... I buy seamless bikini style underwear and wear that. Usually I have thick enough leggings that it isn't a huge issue though. Anyone staring at my butt at the gym has their priorities in the wrong place. (even though i guess I couldn't blame them... ;))

    seamless undies all the way! if you dont wear underwear under your leggings im pretty sure you will get really bad cameltoe. also, i found REALLY great leggings on amazon.com that are under $20! https://www.amazon.com/TM-FYP52-BLK_Large-Tesla-High-Waist-Control-Hidden/dp/B077P1VK75/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1513994531&sr=8-4&keywords=tesla+leggings
    give them a shot! you will not be let down.

    Yes I do. I can’t stand being commando.
    If you are wearing synthetic fabric leggings, those are usually quite opaque. I’ve always found the cotton ones are the ones prone to being see thru

    I do, but I always wear darkly colored, seamless ones, for comfort.

    I don't own a single pair of underwear besides thongs. Can't imagine anything else being comfortable. But, yes I wear thongs with my leggings or Nike Pro shorts. And yes, they are washed after every use.

    My vote: Wear what's comfortable for you. Any other person in the gym who notices *anything* (pruriently or otherwise) is not working out hard enough, and is beneath your consideration, truly.

    Personally, I wear inexpensive but sturdy cotton blend gray Danskin leggings or yoga pants from Walmart (cheap, durable, comfy) over cotton granny briefs (Fruit of the Loom, Hanes) because lady parts like to breathe . . . and I don't care who knows it, even though none of that is see-through.

    I'm not there to look at others; if they're looking critically at me, it's their problem. *Baby feline* 'em.
