| For those of you who think we can’t see your arse, we can. Even if the material is black. Unless you’ve tested it out in literally all possible lights, especially outdoors, believe me. We are seeing your backside. |
| No, but the woman in front of me in my exercise classd definitely does. I could ID that hoo-ha in a lineup. |
Lol I taught yoga for 10 years and I never, ever go commando in leggings. Most leggings are not as opaque as we’d like to think. And there is a reason companies like Sweaty Betty state that certain leggings are for running/training vs yoga. But some people don’t care, and that is 100% their right to wear or not wear what they want. |
Have you ever been to a yoga class in this area? The space is so tight that people's butts are basically in your face. You have to close your eyes not to see. After reading all this I'm definitely putting a towel down everytime I use exercise equipment now. |
| Depends on the design of the shorts/leggings. If they are designed to be without, I buy them and go without. |
I go commando all the time. (Except in short skirts/dresses, or ones that might fly up.) Oh well. I don't like VPL, but it's not just that-- I know there are better panties now that are more seamless, etc. I just... IDK. I am not neurotypical and it just feels like one more step or something. I don't have a lot of discharge or heavy periods. I don't chafe. I just don't care. What I don't see is how it's gross for other people, per se. I don't get camel toe, so it's not even a visual thing. What makes a wafer-thin piece of extra fabric under someone's clothes seem so necessary for the preservation of hygiene or civilization? (I do actually bring along a thong when I'm out shopping and trying on clothes, because that, I get!) I used to wear slips and hose as a kid and those have mostly gone the way of the dodo. Remember undershirts? Despite being ND, I am not that oblivious. I get how maybe it kinda functions psychologically or socially. But my brain just won't hold onto the idea that it's actually gross, nasty, wrong or offensive. I don't think anyone knows it about me, although if they really think hard and are looking, I never have VPL. But that can probably be achieved by G-strings and seamless panties anyway. Ah, well. (As a side note, I don't know a lot of people who wear underwear under swimsuits, so it's hard for me to think of workout clothes as any different-- even if we're talking about a psychosocial thing, at least when people are actually working out, it's hard to see the difference.) |
Genuine question-- how much of an extra barrier do you think most panties provide in addition to the legging/etc. material itself? |
PP who complained about seeing peoples genitals and this, exactly. If the person in front of me is in down dog and I’m in up dog, her but and genitalia are literally inches from my eyes. I shouldn’t have to contort my neck to avoid seeing them. And yes, underwear does help. |
| Never underwear with yoga pants |
+1 here also at 39. Like you I wear Spanx or a shape wear slip + underwear with skirts and dresses. I wear underwear with jeans most of the time. Otherwise commando. It's just more comfortable |
Yeah, almost all the time. |
You must be dry like the Sahara! |
Oh my heaven, DH gave me some Wicked Weasel panties with a seam in the front. Pure heaven when I wear these panties; the cameltoe is great for turning DH on, and the seam rubbing on my lady parts is so ‘ooh’ pleasurable. These new panties have given me reason to wear ‘special occasion’ panties again. |
Naked yoga, problem solved |
Pretty sure it’s “snail trail.” |
