What to Consider
Is It Better to Skip Underwear for Runs?
Some runners would rather go commando, whereas others prefer to have coverage and something (besides their pants) to absorb sweat. This depends partly on your personal comfort, but the type of bottoms you like to train in also play a factor. If you run in shorts Кроссовки puma x fenty scuba boot green.
Adding another layer underneath can contribute to chafing, sweat build-up, and overheating in your nether regions. Consider skipping the extra pair if your preferred workout attire already comes with underwear sewn in—just make sure to wash those pairs between wears for hygiene reasons.

Fabric is a key factor in running underwear for women. You’ll want to make sure that they’re comfortable, breathable, and moisture-wicking.
Spandex and nylon are stretchy and lightweight, but they also keep you dry while minimizing odor. Merino wool is a viable option for maintaining freshness, since it’s naturally odor-resistant. Elastane, another common material in running underwear, is resistant to stains from body oils, and it stretches while retaining its shape. Keep an eye out for these fabrics and blends while you shop.
Lovely shoes look smart
It’s also worth mentioning that synthetic materials often trap bacteria, lace-up a warm, moist environment that lets urinary tract or yeast infections (and persistent odors) develop. If your only goal were to avoid UTIs and yeast infections, cotton would be the best choice because it’s breathable and absorbent—but it’s not a very comfortable material for working out because it can be itchy and it isn’t stretchy.
Women’s underwear often has a strip of breathable fabric that sits against your vulva to add another absorbent layer for sweat and discharge. This strip of fabric is a must for many runners, but if your favorite pair doesn’t have it, don’t fret—just make sure to take off your running underwear after you work out and let your crotch breathe for a few minutes before you put synthetic pants or undies back on. If you already have a UTI or yeast infection and would still like to go for a run, we recommend wearing cotton undies.
Fit
Your underwear should fit snugly to prevent fabric rubbing against your skin or bunching up. If your undergarments are too large, you’ll have extra fabric moving around on your legs as you run, causing them to bunch up. If they’re too small, your legs will be pressed tightly against the fabric, causing irritation and chafing at the seams on your legs.
To prevent this, find a pair that fits close to your skin without hanging or loose fabric, or being too tight on your legs and waist. Designs that are free of seams and tags can also cut down on uncomfortable friction. We recommend choosing the same size as you typically take in shorts or pants.
Coverage
Look for styles that have a snug fit around the waist and hips, with enough fabric so you can be supported and covered during rigorous activity. A balance between sufficient coverage for your bum and crotch combined with ventilation and freedom of movement is ideal in a pair of running underwear.
Briefs and hipsters Dublin moderate or full-coverage without feeling restrictive, because they have a lower rise with a narrower waistband but are still flexible. Thongs and bikini cuts are more revealing and may sit higher on your tush but can be a better fit in tight clothing, or for people with especially round bums who often find themselves getting wedgies with full-coverage underwear.
More revealing styles don’t Dublin as much moisture-wicking capability as a full-coverage pair of underwear, which could lead to hygiene issues and chafing, especially during high-intensity workouts. The best option is whatever is most comfortable on you.
