Ladies, do you wear undies when working out?

I always work out in running shorts and they have the undie section built in. So I don't wear panties too. It seems too bulky. I do wear them during my monthly and just wear regular cotton shorts instead of running shorts.

Nope ... but then again, I never do.

for sure, they make my barely there rear sweat even more! you know you got a great workout when your rear is soaking lol

I am there to workout... could care less if I have panty lines. Yes I wear panties... Couldn't imagine the sweat marks if I didn't!

Same here, but I really don't wear anything tight enough to show panty lines. :ohwell:

The same cotton granny panties I wear all the time.

I have never even thought of going commando while exercising. The thought that some people do is gross to me lol. To think that the person who was on the bike before me in the gym had their sweaty bits rubbing against the seat has just made me want to scrub the seat a bit harder from now on! eww:noway:

See, I don't get this. They weren't naked. Does one more thin layer of fabric really make that much of a difference? I highly doubt it.

Agreed! I would rather chance embarrassment at no panty lines, than to have the embarrassment of picking wedgies in front of people at the gym. The shorts I wear have extra fabric in that area and one can only guess it is there for a reason. Besides, I wipe down the machines when I get off AND when I get on one, just in case the person in front of me didn't.

Seriously?!? YES. After you've had a couple kids the ol' vag way...and then gain a bunch of weight...well, let's just say that jumping on a trampoline is some MAJOR kegel working exercise. So...when I'm working out and I'm jumping and running and flying all around, not only do I have undies on but I put on a freakin' PAD.
C'mon ladies....I know many of you do too! I don't need pee leaking down my leg. Gross.

I can't imaging not wearing underwear. I don't care about panty lines or any of that. I feel better covered.

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.

Skitty... I am so turned on right now ...

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....

I was just telling a coworker a few minutes ago that this happened to me last night. I was wearing light gray capri pants and a long t-shirt. When I work out, I get SOAKED! The sweat literally runs down my arms, face, back, and legs. So gross! Anyway, I got home and took off my shirt. As I did so, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and realized that it looked like I had peed my pants. :blushing: I was like, "Ohhhh, I HOPE my shirt was long enough to cover that..."

To answer the question, yes, I wear cotton high cut briefs. I find that the cotton breathes better than most materials, and the briefs don't ride up like bikinis.

To those of you who have said you go commando when running outside...you should be warned. If you were to have some sort of accident (i.e. God forbid, someone should run off the road and accidentally hit you with their car), the EMT's don't ask if you're wearing underwear first. They just cut off your pants/shorts right there in front of God and everybody. You'd be buck naked from the waist down, completely exposed to total strangers. Some of you will say, "Well, if I'm lying there unconscious and fighting for my life, the last thing I'm gonna be worried about is what I am or am not wearing." Well, I'm thinkin' about it NOW, and, personally, I'd be mortified to find out, after the fact, that who knows how many perfect strangers had seen me naked.

well Ive had 4 kids, 3 still living, I don't have a issue with needing to work on my kegel exercises, however only one of mine was natural, so that probably has something to do with it, but it just depends what I plan on doing and wearing, I agree sometimes underwear becomes a issue compared to not wearing it. I have never had a issue with sweating profusely and when I do it isn't down there. However, I think it just depends. Just like it depends what Im wearing to if I wear a bra or not 9/10 I would need to because it is just uncomfortable not having one on and jumping.

LOL All my modesty got lost having my co-workers deliver my children and one of the guys who I had been stationed with for years coming in while Im naked saying 'nice tattoo' just to be a *kitten* lol and someone should be prepared to only have to look once if I was have their 'omg she isnt wearing underwear' moment and move on with their bad self. I honestly would not care before/during/after in this scenario.

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.

I am sitting here laughing at myself. I didn't realize that many women wore undies when they workout ... or at all. I guess I should start wearing them again ... one of these days. :drinker:

I'm glad to have found this thread because I have been having the same issues. I wear undies when I workout. I do both weight training and cardio on the elliptical. I don't have underwear issues when working out with weights, only when I am on the elliptical. They are constantly riding up on me and driving me nuts. I don't want to go commando because it grosses me out. I was wondering if there are workout pants with built in underwear or a specific type of underwear that's good to wear under my pants so that they won't ride up on me. I'm tired of picking out my wedgies!

I have a bunch of running shorts with built ins - love them.
