    I also wear Nike sports undergarments. I found my usual cotton undies led to some uncomfortable chafing. For extra anti-chafe protection, I use Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief Powder-Gel in those sensitive chafe-prone areas when I run...

    usually a thong or none. I do want to get some sports gear undies though. I also am not in a gym sweating on a machine, most of my workouts are fitness classes and i am standing, i sweat but im not the kind that sweats buckets ever anyhow. Its not even about panty lines so much as comfort. I cant handle wearing undies that are gonna slip or roll or whatnot while working out, therefore sometimes its commando!

    LOL

    For real though, I agree... I don't want to see any butt sweat on the machines.
    Cotton panties to the rescue.




    Great thinking booty juice on machines!! GROSS LOL

    I hardly ever wear underwear when working out. The only time I will wear them is if I'm wearing shorts without spandex underneath. :)

    Ok I've always been told cotton panties are the best because they soak up moisture. Is it not true that said moisture can lead to yeast infections..etc?

    I really don't give a Shlt if anyone can see panty lines or not. I'm wearing workout clothes!

    I wear underpants. Everyone knows everyone wears them so panty lines are of no importance to me. I also feel secure that all my parts are tucked in & in place... especially when I wear basketball shorts & I get sucked into doing an unexpected class on my back with my legs in the air. I don't need to flash the gym!

    Ugghh... I can't even imagine if I DIDN'T?! I already rock a potent swamp *kitten*... my already snail trail remains would be a fkn slip & slide on the machines.

    LOL!! This is me....I couldn't imagine not wearing any underwear, I sweat like crazy down there as it is when I workout...so much that if I'm wearing light colored workout pants, I look like I've pissed on myself. And the snail trail every time I get up is embarrassing....

    totally me too. Glad I'm not the only one. I always wondered why I sweat so much down there?? I hate looking like I pissed on myself. I could careless about a pantyline when I'm working out. But I've worn a thong and panties in the gym. I think going commando would eventually become uncomfortable during my workout.

    Yes, cotton Jockeys. They don't ride up when I am working out and I personally don't care if anyone sees my VPL. As much as I sweat, I would not be able to go commando, otherwise my yoga pants would be soaked.

    I definitely wear panties, but I always do. Going commando is not my thing, ever, it's so uncomfortable!

    I go to my gym/kickboxing class after work and I just plan to wear cotton pants that stay in place that day, change out of the office clothes and into my shorts/training pants with a sports bra and a tank top. I don't think I could handle a thong style bottom. I think a thong would be the wedgie I couldn't get rid of.

    Id be more willing to go commando if I were wearing running shorts in the gym (the kind with the built-in brief) but I don't know about having nylon holding the sweat right there against my skin. I would prefer that people see panty lines in my tighter training bottoms than suspect I'm commando. Cotton pants are the right combination of fast-drying, wicking and inexpensive for me.

    I totally agree with you on the wedgie you can't get rid of!! Yuk!!!! LMAO IMO I think you should wear some type of undergarment if you sweat in that region.
