What type of underwear do you wear?
To workout in? All my athletic shorts and pants are moisture wicking and then I wear cotton underwear and it is just not working well for me.
What type of material is best? Is there any specific "exercise underwear" out there? Suggestions are appreciated! TIA
Re: What type of underwear do you wear?
Ahhh, the age old undies question.
I don't wear undies... ever, while working out.
I'm not a commando exerciser, I tried but just didn't like it.
I usually wear the Barely There boyshort undies from Kohls. They're not cotton, they don't ride up and they don't leave panty lines, which I absolutely hate.

If my shorts have a good liner (lululemon) then I go commando.
I have a few non-cotton seamless pairs, Hanes I think, that I try to wear other times. If I'm stuck in cotton or a pair I don't really care for, then I make sure to BodyGlide where the edges rub just in case.

And that's why I love running skirts. Compression shorts but a bit more modest.

No undies!
Either I wear running shorts with the build-in panty (I hate that word, but it's descriptive here)... or I wear fitted shorts/capris/pants/tights commando.

When I am working out, it's sans underpants!
Every day life, Soma Intimates "Vanishing Edge" panties. LOVE them. However if you get them, I highly suggest that you hang dry them rather that putting them in the dryer. They will last SO much longer.
