Workout Gear with NO PANTY LINES?

ktclick · August 2011

When I work out at the gym, I work out hard. The last thing I want to worry about is what my butt looks like while I'm pounding away on the treadmill. But I do. I am not overly worried about what I look like overall, but I am very self-conscious about my backside.

I've been tying a sweatshirt or other long-sleeved shirt around my waist so I don't have to worry about it, but the other day I saw a girl at the gym who had what looked like a t-shirt under her workout top that covered her entire backside. But it looked like it was attached to her pants, which were flared capri-length. I felt weird asking her what it was since that seemed it would imply I was checking out her butt!

Does anyone know where I can find some pants like this? I've been Googling workout pants for the past hour!

I have workout pants that I picked up at Victorias Secret and some from Marshall that are pretty high rise. I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for. For the panty line problem, just wear a thong!

Good luck

I haven't seen what you are talking about. Have no idea really as I can't even picture them. But something like this might work for you. They are rather expensive but might even be easy to make.

I get the seamless or 'barely there' bikini from Target, I know other people sell them. They're super comfy. I've seen some ladies wear the fitness "skirt/skort" ... maybe thats what she had on? I mostly wear running shorts which have the built in under-roo's ... my favorite thing ever.

Why not go commando?

That's what I do. I hate working out with underwear. Thong starts riding up too far.

They have lots of underwear now that advertise themselves as "seamless" those might work. Also you can try to buy t-shirts or tank-tops that have longer backsides to cover up your hind-quarters. I tend to lean towards the longer shirt route. Or just buy men's t-shirts, they are usually longer than women's anyways.

I honestly don't think there are people working out just looking to mock your panty-line, but I do understand where you might be self-concious about it.

Good luck!

I have a pair of pants that I got from old navy a long time ago. They're capris and the bottoms flare out like you said. The waist is so weird. There's a seam where the waist is, and then this extra stretch if fabric over it. If you pull it up it would come up to your bra line. But if you fold it down it covers your butt. I bet that's what you're looking for. I'll look and see if I find any online.

you can buy pants with a cute little attached skirt

I know where to get them locally, but you may have to search for a retailer online or near you:

LMorrison1009 - I think those are exactly what she had! Thank you!

I'm 6' tall with an extra-long torso. I can wear a regular inseam on my jeans, but have to search for shirts that will keep my stomach covered. That means even men's shirts aren't long enough to cover my backside!

I can't go commando. I've had two children and things, um, don't work as well as they once did. :embarassed: I run long distances on the treadmill (my usual distance is 3.5 miles), so thongs chafe in all the wrong places!

I've been wanting to try a running skirt. I first saw one three years ago when I ran a half marathon and thought it was a brilliant idea, but the only ones I've found are upwards of $50! For $18, i think these yoga capris are perfect!

Thanks again for the input everybody!

I thought most workout gear has built-in liner now?

I like the seamless boy short style ones from Target--I think the brand is Gillian & O'Malley. I recommend washing them in a lingerie bag though because they tend to get kind of messed up if you don't use one.
