+1 except I’m 41 I wear Spanx under dresses and underwear if I try on clothes. I don’t go to the gym anymore because I run outside or on the treadmill and lift at my house, but when I did in my younger days, I put a towel down. There’s nothing sexual about it - I just can’t stand the way underwear feels. I don’t understand why this is such a big deal. I know other women my age who feel the same way.

Omg I just realized if people re going commando in their workout clothes for working out … what about all the people wearing workout clothes “on their way to the gym” (whether they ever make it there or not).

Are y’all going commando more often than just for workouts?? Ew.

Agreed! Woman here! I can’t stand seeing giant bottom panty lines on ladies! Looks like a big ol diaper.

And I can’t stand seeing women’s genitals through their yoga pants, because they’re too vain to wear underwear.

...but why are you even looking at their "genitals"? I find it interesting that your eyes would even go there.

I don’t understand why people are caring about panty lines at the gym. I’m going to workout, not get laid.

Yikes. I wear underwear everywhere unless I am in a bathing suit.

There's a thing called a 'v-string'. I have always wore thongs in active wear. Who the hell wears full coverage with those panty lines in yoga pants.

I feel there should be a layer between the yoga pant and the V unless they have a built-in underwear crotch.

well let's be honest here. A V String, or thong will not provide much of a barrier between your vulva and labia, and your yogas. But it could be just psychological for you, which I get.

Not true it's lined and cotton crotch just over the V part...and it covers the front of the V--mons venus. Just the butt is free of material.

Our dance teacher let us wear undies at class and rehearsals but never ever in performance.

Not the same though. Dance tights have a cotton layer gusset. PLUS a leo is over top. That is 2-3 layers. Most leggings are a single thin layer. Even your underwear has a double layer gusset

slug trails have nothing to do with perimenopause. if anything it's a sign of youth and fertility.

It’s sweat for me. Lots of sweating during hot flashes. Including the butt crack.

I go running every morning for 30-50 minutes. If wearing running shorts, obviously no undies because they have built in underwear things. But if i'm wearing leggings, you MUST wear underwear because otherwise the fabric chafes on your skin as it moves. I know because just this last weekend, i went in leggings but no undies (I had pulled out workout stuff the night before for an early morning run, forgot undies, but didn't want to go back in teh bedroom and wake up DH). I had to stop running after 15 mins because each step caused the fabric to swipe back and forth, which because significantly uncomfortable.

Nah. This is about your anatomy. I work out daily, in leggings, always commando. Never have I ever chafed.
