Do you go commando in your active wear ?

I get not caring about panty lines, but isn't it uncomfortable? No undies feels so much better to me.

It's clear from the answers in this thread that this is highly person-dependent. Having tried both, I definitely find it more comfortable to wear underwear under my workout clothes. I wear very soft, breathable underwear and the seams are all in places where they won't irritate me. But my workout clothes are not necessarily the same -- even if the fabric is soft, often the seams are in places where they can aggravate my skin. I also find that the extra layer of fabric can make me more comfortable during very sweaty workouts.

REI and similar have workout / travel underwear. Or are they out of stock???

I wear that with my running pants.

With my running shorts and running skirts, all of which have built in liners, I don't.

I'm not elite.

I run outdoors. I don't go to a gym or wear my active wear as day-to-day clothing.

It would never occur to me to NOT wear underwear. That seems kind of gross. And work out in a thong? LOL. No.

Work out attire is designed to be worn sans underwear. It’s about freedom of movement and flexibility without binding or bunching.

Honestly you folks are a gaggle of prudes.

Only when I’m on the Peloton, because the extra layer chafes. But when I go to the gym or run, I absolutely wear underwear. I don’t care about panty lines, but I do care about inadvertently flashing people. I’m still traumatized from too many yoga classes…

It’s bad enough that the rest of us need to deal with your sweat left on equipment at the gym, but now we need to deal with whatever wetness is usually kept in your underwear too? Gross. Workout clothes are too thin to be your underwear too.

90% of mine has the built-in underwear/liner so wearing panties with that makes it very uncomfortable.

Female genitalia doesn’t work that way, incel.

Or some people simply prefer to wear underwear under their workout clothes. I'm not sure what your preferences have to do with my preferences. I'm not judging you for going commando -- I just personally don't want to.

Not all workout clothing has a liner -- many leggings and short don't, actually. Since I prefer to wear my own underwear with workout clothes, I look for workout clothes that are not lined. I like the quality and feel of my own underwear to most workout liners.

I don't wear underwear that binds or bunches. Not ever, but especially not when I workout. I buy underwear specifically for its' comfort and ability to stay put.

I often wear period underwear in lieu of a pantyliner on heavy period days. This also facilitates being able to workout on those days. Again, this is much preferable to a lined workout bottom for obvious reasons.

It's also weird that you are saying people who prefer to wear underwear under their workout clothes "prudes" when there are multiple people on the first page of this thread arguing that the main reason not to do it is to avoid visible panty lines, as though the slight shadow of an underwear line in someone's workout attire is a pearl-clutching event.

People should wear what is most comfortable for workouts, and there really are not any rules beyond sanitation and commonly agreed-upon decency standards. You do you.

Exactly.

I've done both and prefer no underwear. I like how it feels and I don't think there's anything "gross" about it. It creates less laundry too. Also I don't care if people do wear underwear. Just do whatever makes you feel comfy.

Vaginas are self cleaning. That happens with secretions. So it actually does work that way.

Nope. Prude means objecting to sex or nudity. It's the secretions that gross me out.
Not to be crass, but cover that a**

Female. Yes.
