A few shorts questions
I'm looking to buy a few pairs of athletic shorts but I'm having difficulty finding them with pockets. Where do you put your keys/phone if your shorts don't have pockets? Also what type of underwear do you wear because I know cotton is not the best option.
Re: A few shorts questions
I am not a runner, so I never carry a key with me outside of the gym.
As far as undies - I go commando pretty much all of the time.
Just about never wear underwear.
Some athletic shorts will have a tiny zipper at the waistband - about big enough for a house key and an emergency $20 or something. I'm sure they make them, but I can't ever remember seeing shorts with pockets deep enough for a cell/keys.
Keys/phone - depends on where I am:
GYM - Locked locker
NEIGHBORHOOD - leave at home
PARK - car key only in one of those armband velcro cases intended for an MP3 player. Everything else locked in trunk.

Ridley Run 3.1 - 4/14/12 - 1st race of the year, 32:45
Most running shorts have a little pocket or place to put a key. I either stick my key in the little pocket or tie it to my shoe lace. I don't carry my phone with me when I run. If you are worried about having ID, get a Road ID tag.
As for undies, yeah, I can't go commando. I don't know why. I wear cotton. Bad, I know.

I rarely wear underwear with shorts when I run.
The pairs of shorts that I have either have a small pocket in the waist band that's big enough for a key and the Lululemon shorts I have, have a picket on the thigh that can hold my phone and a few other essentials.
I usually run with an armband that holds my phone (i use it to track my runs and play music) and I can usually slide a key or some money in behind it if I needed it. I think some of women on here use a spibelt for some of there needs.
I use an Armpocket when I go running:
It's zippered, and is big enough to hold my cell phone, ID, and GUs. I'm sure I could fit my car key in there if need be. My running skirts and capris have a little car key pocket in the back of the waistband (they're Champion from Target) and I have a couple running tanks that have pockets in the back that I can put stuff in, too.
As far as running undies go, I've seen some non-cotton ones for sale at Runner's Depot. My cotton ones don't bother me, though, so I never bought any, but I've heard rave reviews from other runners.

When my hair was long I would loop my house key through my hair tie and then pull my hair back - now I wear it in the same way on my wrist or in the small inner pocket of my running shorts
Either no undies or cotton thong
Iphone - I use it for music so it stays in an armband, I slip my ID and some emergency cash behind it so it stays in there. I like all the shorts I've purchased from target, and love my Lucy shorts as well.
