The most stupid running question ever.
In the past, I've always run on the treadmill when it was cold. I like running outside so much more, though, so I went out and got myself some running capris. Of course, I'm standing in the dressing room with them on last night and was slightly horrified at how well my underwear stood out underneath these things.
Because this question is silly, I made a clicky poll:

My Lunch Blog
I picked I like cake b/c I assume it was the SS.
I wear undies, but I wear the Barely There boyshort ones from Kohls, that way you can't see the lines. I tried commando and just don't like it. Occasionally I'll go thong but I don't prefer them.
its not a stupid question, it fact, its probably the most frequently asked question on this board, lol. i think its discussed almost weekly.
i only run in shorts and skirts (no capris) and they all have built-in bloomers or compression shorts.
i do wear capris sometimes just around, and i dont wear underwear.
Very interesting... thanks for the thoughts!
I know a lot of people are fans of commando, but I always just attributed that to running in general. I wasn't sure if there were switch hitters depending on if it was shorts or tighter pants.
Something about commando seems so icky to me - but perhaps I'll try it one day!

It's not a stupid question. I used to wear underwear (cotton) during all exercise, and didn't care who saw that I had vpl. One day I got tired of constantly adjusting them, and have never looked back.

Never thought to do comando.
I picked "I like cake" because I really do like cake. LOL!
A combo of the choices. Commando if wearing capris, sometimes commando, sometimes regular undies with shorts, depending on if they have built-in underwear or not.
Do NOT wear a thong with capris on a long run. Three words: ass crack chafe. You're welcome.
The VPL bothered me for awhile so I tried thongs. Those rubbed uncomfortably so I went commando. As long as I wear the shorts/capris/pants once, I don't have any problems.
I've tried a lot of different ways. I'm by far most happy with boy cut briefs. They don't really show and there's no chafing in strange places.
THIS
I don't do commando. I've tried wearing full bottom undies during runs and that's the only time I've ever had chafing. Thongs for me!

Well I guess I would be a switch hitter LOL! if I wear capris I have to wear thong type of underwear if it's warm enough I wear my shorts and I go commando.

If I am wearing capris or tights, I wear barely there bikini cut. I've tried comando and can't do it.
When I am in shorts, I don't wear any since all my shorts have the built in liners.

This. I always wear under things because I'm limited on my running shorts. Going commando when you only have 2 or 3 and don't wash them after every run is not for me.
