My gynecologist actually advised against wearing underwear when exercising. She said if you must they should NOT be cotton. Why on earth would she advise that? Did she give a reason? There's a saying in Boy Scouts,"Cotton kills." That's because it absorbs your sweat like a sponge(which isn't good while hiking- especially in the cold). I'm guessing that it could be a bacterial issue.

I've never understood the fuss of hiding panty lines in normal every day clothing. Why are we hiding the fact that we wear panties again? Ive never heard a man say "Are my boxers showing". I have wondered this for so, so long. Because woman love to pick on each other like seagulls on dead fish. Men don't seem to have to drag each other through the muck as much, that and most men just don't give a sh*t if you do see them or what you think

hahahaha ! Yeast...bread... lol...
Well, back in the Jazzercise days, the pants we wore (I guess they would be like yoga pants nowadays) were very opaque, none of that lululemon nonsense. And with a long topper, there would be nothing but fabric to see anyway.

Some sites say you really should wear underwear, and cotton at that, while exercising because it will wick away sweat from your skin. Some sites say cotton is terrible because it absorbs too much moisture and can cause chafing. Most of them cite gynecologists who are willing to put their name on their recommendation. I guess some of us are underwear people and some of us are not underwear people. I am just totally an underwear person. They have served me well during many hours at the gym (and many long hikes in the cold for that matter, although I am not a boy scout). It really is okay that we don't all do the same thing. Even if half the gynies on the internet say cotton panties are bad to wear whilst working out.

I have a sweaty vag and I prefer cotton undies as a first layer of protection. I hate sitting down on a machine and leaving a wet spot more than I hate people knowing I wear underwear. It's not about hiding that you are wearing underwear (or a bra), it is about creating a smooth silhouette and not having your butt look strange because your panties are cutting into you.

Never underwear, always thong. I don't have anything against commando, I just like the additional layer.

In a crowd of people going upstairs from the subway platform, I was behind a woman wearing workout leggings. She had a white spot right at my eye level. I briefly wondered if I should let her know that she had sat in something, when I realized she was wearing a pantyliner inside the leggings - and there was "clearly" no underwear happening. It was waaaaaay TMI for me, an innocent commuter. If I ever had any desire to go commando in stretchy pants, that experience nipped it in the bud!

I saw a thing on people in stretchy pants that were see through. Even if you look in the mirror and don't see anything, there could be a likelyhood that other people will.

I once had the crotch rip on my pants when biking. Thankfully I was wearing underwear. I will always wear underwear.

If your butt looks strange because your panties are cutting into you, you are not the size you think you are. Move one size number upwards next time you buy your panties. It's a bad visual when someone's putting 10 lbs of potatoes in a 5 lb. sack, as my Nana used to say.
Ever since the Lululemon fiasco, I switched over to Bally brand yoga pants. I'm comfy and covered. And yes, those Lululemons are like that old story of the Emperor's new clothes: nothing left to imagination. Pass the eye bleach, please.

Did we learn nothing from the nude-photos-leaked scandal? Over-sharing on the internet is never a good idea, people. Lol.
