Person A: Look under there!
Person B: Under -where?!
Person A: You said UNDERWEAR!

Okay...cheesy way to start a post, but I'm a Mom of 3 and I've heard this ridiculous joke more than I care to admit.

BUT, I seriously wanted to ask you what kind of UNDERWEAR/panties/under garments/whatever-you-want-to-call-them do you wear to the gym? I run and I have tried it ALL! I'm so sick of trial and error --it's getting expensive.

Now that I've lost the weight, the boy shorts style are not comfortable, too much fabric...but I like it wide around my hips (not granny panty wide) because I still have a small "flap" (Extra skin)....

Anyone else annoyed with this issue???

What are you wearing that you've found works?

    you mean you WEAR underwear?

    LOL...j/k. I usually wear bikinis...and yeah, sometimes stuff rides up and whatnot...i really don't have a good answer for you. Commando is probably the most comfortable way oddly enough.

    My sister convinced me to buy these hybrid looking underwear on sale at VS and they sound like what you're looking for. The front is full like a bikini but they have a wide (maybe 2-3 inch) lace (i.e. very lightweight) band and the butt is like a thong. Maybe it's just a fancy thong but it wears really nicely under yoga pants :wink:

    cheeky boyshorts work for me or yes commando (depends if my workout pants have that liner in them) Wearing the wrong ones can be a pain in the butt

    Calvin Klein men's tightie whities. I'm a size thirty.

    I like that they have a hole in the front. Not only do I feel super conspicuous, but I just like to think that if I ever randomly mutate and sprout a penis, I'll be prepared.

    According to my wife, anyone who's butt is in decent shape turns all underwear into a thong, so.....wear a thong.

    I've been struggling to find some suitable underwear too. I usually wear bikini's but they get bunchy and my butt gets all squished during yoga so I'm thinking about trying thongs. : ) Under Armour makes some that get good reviews, but they are pricey so I haven't bought them yet.

    I have the VS yoga type and I love them. They don't move around. They come in all styles too.

    Hi!

    I am also annoyed with this lol. I would not suggest cotton. They ride all over the place on me. I did find a couple of pair in Target. They are nylon and spandex. There is kinda a wide waistband but the underwear stops right before your bellybutton. I try to suck in my stomach as much as I can. I am told this is a good exercise to train your abs.

    I'm not sure of the brand but it's the ones they sell at Costco....I think they're called itsy bitsy or something like that. They hold everything in and help wick moisture (part spandex/party cotton).....very comfy!
