I like working out and stretching in my leggings and I’m looking for a seamless tanga or a string that won’t show lines, won’t ride up and won’t accumulate sweat.

I don’t know if I should discard cotton tangas, because cotton absorbs moisture and I want to remain dry. If cotton is a no go, what fabrics should I use?

I don’t know if I should completely discard tangas and use a string, because compared to strings, tangas are quite wide on the sides. Won’t that be noticeable to the people I workout with when I stretch? And if it’s cotton, it’s going to be thicker than synthetic fabric or a seamless tanga.

I’ve never used a string, but seems to be ideal if I want to avoid lines. What I fear is that it’ll ride up. I don’t want that.

If I get a string and workout with it, will it leave deep marks in my skin? It’s a very thin piece of fabric.

Whatever I buy it’s gonna be low rise.

What works for you?

    If you’re actually working out, nobody cares about what you look like and comfort is more important than any other consideration.

    If you’re using the gym as a place to meet people, nobody you would actually want to meet cares about lines in your clothing.

    In other words, the lines you’re concerned with have been put there by advertisers wanting to sell you more stuff.

      You do understand that someone not wanting their underwear to show through their outerwear isn’t necessarily about attracting attention, right?

      The way they phrased the post points to not wanting to attract attention.

      So, while it would be nice if every woman (or man tbh) could go to the gym and work out without some asshole eyeballing them because they made the mistake of not taking the extra step of minimizing the visibility of their panties, the world isn’t currently like that.

      Women get unwanted attention in some gyms to begin with. And, as you said, “nobody you would actually want to meet cares about lines in your clothing”, but the ones that do care are the ones you don’t want to meet, and are more likely to cross lines.

      Be realistic here. You’re assuming a woman asking about underwear visibility is seeking attention. That’s the same kind of thinking as the ones that would see underwear lines and go bother a woman. “Oh, look at those panty lines, she’s advertising.”

      That’s some crappy thinking right out of the gate.
