    I am in need of some new bikini underwear that will be comfortable to exercise in. I am a runner and a weight lifter. Recent pairs I have purchased become uncomfortable when working out moving around and giving me wedgies. I can't buy anything too expensive because I'm a poor college student, but I'm in dire need of something! I can shop at Wal-Mart or online.

      Working out preferred knickers for me - boyshorts. I'd tried the gamut (tangas/brazilians/hipster/bikini/thong/...), all of which worked, until they didn't because once your buttocks starts to evolve into the new shape (volume/projection), they just won't - not whilst you're working out lol My only advise for any style, would be to buy whatever number you can afford in your current size and half of that count, a size down, as your transitional knickers, for when you'll drop weight. You do not want to be caught by surprise.

      If you opt to go without knickers, consider panty liners.

      I've tired without underwear. It's not too bad, but I prefer to wear it.

      That is a tough one. Ever butt is shaped differently. Boy shorts used to be the best for me but after losing weight bikinis work better now. Boy shorts (now in a smaller side) ride too much. Sadly trying a few different kinds has been the best way to find my new type.

      And yeah I don't want to go commando either. I have seen and experienced my own legging holes.

      I prefer strings as they dont have visible lines. Usually the right size will stay put during lifting and running. Brand doesn't really matter. I get the cheapest ones from hunkemöller.

      I found some nice cheap ones in Decathlon, hidden in a corner of the runner's section. They have thongs and panties, form fitting but in both cases made with wide strips of fabric on the sides which won't dig into your body.

      victoria's secret v string. not only are they durable as hell (i've had some for 8+ years that look brand spanking new) but they don't leave pantylines. and you don't have to worry about feeling a wedgie because the v string feels like literally nothing yet keeps your lady parts covered.

      I'll jump out as the main underwear-wearer in this thread.
      I love the C9 from Target Premium Micro Mesh Perfomance. I use the hipsters, but maybe they have bikini too. I think they're $20 for a pack of 3. I'm heavy with a huge *kitten* and its the first time I'm not constantly picking at my underwear. I think there's less friction between these and my leggings that helps a lot too

      hanes has an exercise line. different cuts i think. available at walmart.

      Thanks! I'll look for the Hanes exercise line. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. I'm wanting bikini undies. I've tired athletic things, but they're not for me. Boy shirts always go up in my thighs, which is extremely uncomfortable and annoying. Also I don't care about panty lines when exercising.

      I go without, it's more comfortable.

      Hanes has some x-temp mesh hipsters that I find pretty comfortable. Fruit of the loom has a mesh bikini. I also like Old Navy running shorts with the built in brief, comfortable for running and lifting if they fit properly.

      Bold.

      Both my sis and I prefer boy shorts (mini cut), although going commando has its merits too with a commando panty liner. Proper fitting is key with any style, so as to avoid the "ride up" "anal floss" or "pinching/bunching" issues ++.

      I like the Target ones too. They dry really quickly when running in the heat.

      I also like Wal-Mart's two in one shorts, without underwear. It's a little more secure than going commando and there is a lined crotch.

      So I just realized that my post automatically censored itself, I can't remember what I put first.

      I just need to clarify that I have a big butt, bottom, rear end, tush, hinnie, other euphemisms. I do not have a big anythings that leads me to pick my underwear. I will never post about my huge anything again

      LMAO! I ran through a few different possibilities when reading and settled on booty! Definitely gave me a chuckle.

      Fruit of the loom micro mesh bikinis. Reasonable and comfortable. Don’t slip off my butt at all during a run/lifting session/hiit workout. I wear under tight capris, so that may help too.

      Inderwear? Sounds painful.
