What underwear to wear whilst running?

Less stuff to wash, too 

 

i don't know how you work that one out.

it means you have to wash your shorts/tights every time instead of just your pants.

You don't wash your sweaty shorts as well? Yeuch!

But anyway, running bottoms all made from quick drying fabric and are about *that* big when you screw them up so what's the big deal about washing them anyway?

i do tend to as I run in shorts with linings but I don't think I would if I wore pants.

technically I don't wash them anyway, i leave them lying on the floor after a run and they magically re-appear in the drawer all clean and fresh a day or two later.

nor in my house.......and if Skotty didn't put his entire running kit in the wash after every run...then he wouldn't live long in my house either

i didn't realise how lucky I am.

I wash mine when I do laundry, but I run nearly every day and I don't do laundry that often. I don't own six pairs of running tights, either.

At the risk of over-sharing, I do wear pants when running, but usually, er, yesterday's discarded ones from the laundry basket. They're only going to get sweaty anyway, no point wasting a clean pair.

I think I might have just worked out why I'm single. 

I use the Skins A200 half tights under shorts (race ready). Theyre realy comfortable, dont rub and they keep everything in place and stationary.....if you know what I mean

i wear regular girly pants  - but mine are VPL free  full briefs  - very thin stretchy fabric - they are comfy  - despite their claim for no VPL  you can see them a tiny bit through lycra - but i don't care  - and i guess not as visible as regular pants 

i haven't  tried commando style - its just not me - and rather interestingly agree on the laundry aspects posted above  - clean undies are for after running after showering! sweating undies then go in  laundry  - shorts/leggings/joggers  - whatever i wore on bottom half will prob be worn at least 2-3 times before washing TBH because  a quick 40 min run doesn't need freshly laundered  clothing IMO and with my families demands on the washing machine  - i like to think i'm helping save energy lol 

m&s shorts which are vpl free

ferbreeze is good for freshening up sports gear saves washing

I wear stuff, I wash it.

I couldn't even think of wearing running gear that hadn't been washed since the last run.

I have three pairs of running tights, that gives me plenty of time to wash them before they are needed - even if I ran every day!

Couldn't give a stuff about VPL..

Must admit in the winter I get a couple of goes out of tights. I figure if I run 5 one day then 5 the next what's the difference than running 10 in one go. Tops and undies only one go.

Summer is different!

I sometimes go commando but I end up with bruises on the side of my knees...

if you do wear white shorts commando without shaving your arse then people are going to give you a right kicking....no wonder you have bruises
