When we used to do hard work outs, things would actually show sweat lines which is really unattractive.
-
This thread is cracking me up! I just started going to the gym somewhat recently. I swim, so I don't have to deal with VPL, but casual observation indicates that 80% of women are wearing thongs with their working leggings.
-
Not that I workout very often (especially outside of the house lol), but there is no WAY I would wear a thong or ever go commando to workout. I just....can't even imagine.
Personally, I'm in the group that wears longer shirts to cover my butt crowd....so VPL's aren't even on my radar.
-
HAHA my mouth is open, I never knew women didn't wear underwear when working out!
-
Commando. If I wear underwear, I sweat that much worse and I have awful chafing during long runs.
-
@ValentineMommy: same!!
-
I wear thongs... and during really long runs I wear special seamlesss thongs from Lululemon that are silly expensive to avoid chafing. It's not about panty lines for me, it's about chafing - you do not want chafing in those areas after 10+ miles.
-
I wear regular underwear, once in a rare while commando depending on the shorts or pants. Thongs working out seems like a yuck bad idea to me.
-
Great, thanks to this thread I'm going to stare at everyone's butt at the gym to see if they have lines! When I'm doing long runs I have fancy lululemon boyshorts that are comfy and happen to be seamless. I did read that cotton is the most breathable fabric for any sweaty workouts and will help guard against UTIs. I'd rather have lines showing than a UTI... ain't nobody got time for that.

Regular ole underwear.
-
@T.H.O.U.: Yes, I noticed that in my BodyPump instructor just the other day. Really unattractive! =\
@lamariniere: I love that - "casual observation"
@ValentineMommy: Similar! I have mostly longer shirts, but when I'm nearing laundry time, I do have to break out my older, shorter shirts, and sometimes I get self-conscious about VPL (just learned this acronym too! I'm learning so much~~)
@YogiRunner: You're welcome! LOL jk~~
-
Commando! I was my leggings or shorts after every use so there's no real point to underwear. Plus I got used to this when I'd work out on my lunch break and I didn't want to go back to he office wearing underwear I just worked out in. Gross.
Try it! You'll probably wonder why you never did it before!
-
So I've been thinking about it, and I wondered if I should try going commando, but then I realized that I'd have to wash my leggings after a single use! (...right?)
I'm not a big sweater (aka I don't work out as hard as I should! haha), so I can usually rewear leggings twice or so before I wanna throw them in the wash. I don't find regular underwear uncomfortable under my leggings, so I am going to confidently keep doing what I'm doing!
Anyway, the mystery is solved and I can finally stop staring at people's butts!

@Mrs Spoon: We were typing at the same time! I *would* try it, except the undies don't really bother me! But I'm very satisfied now with this new information I have. I'm totally behind the times, but I am 100% cool with it lol~
ETA: Epiphany!! Shorts! AHH so now I know why one pair of shorts I have have like a built-in underwear thingy. I thought it was just to cover your underwear so when you're upside-down or whatever, people don't see your actual underwear -- wrong! It's so that you can go commando! OMG. My world is just splitting wide open. Crazy!

Regular underwear. I can't even imagine going commando, but to each her own!
