Page 3 | Is this really that unusual? Leggings debate

My two besties have just left mine. Amongst the copious amounts of wine, we somehow got onto the subject of what we wear under leggings. As I thought was normal, my friend and I said we don’t wear anything, much to our others friend’s amazement! The leggings are tight enough without anything else 😂 Are we just weirdo’s or are you with us two?

We did wonder (our other friend got her taxi home first) if she doesn’t do the same as she’s a slightly plumper lady, but she said she wouldn’t even if she was a supermodel!

Are you saying the plump friend would or wouldn't wear knickers?

I kinda question the friends size being brought up at all tbh 🤔

So would it be unhygienic to wear pants and a skirt. I mean, that’s only one layer of fabric between your vulva and the rest of the unsuspecting world!! Or would I need to wear two pairs of pants to make sure?

I think it might be more to do with the material why it feels unhygienic.

Tight against area
Some leggings show sweat patches so feels a bit iffy
If you are wearing them to workout then it feels like they are going to be getting extra sweaty
Some leggings are quite see through especially when squatting/bending

And as I said camel toe 🐪 🤢

I suppose if wearing them once then ok? Same as my PJ's, I only wear them once.
I didn't wear them in my teens because I suffered idiopathic cystitis too much and got too hot with knickers and leggings which made it worse. But I only wore leggings under a dress or skirt, no bum on show.

Awh, how kind of ye to wait for her to leave before discussing her size 🙄 lovely thoughtful friends

I wear pants under my pyjamas so I am clearly not going to be your target market here.

Growingaseed · 24/04/2026 23:23

Just to throw something out there OP...

When I wear tights I wear two pairs of undies. One on the inside as normal and one on the outside to stop them falling down 🤣

How do you and your pal feel about that one?

I agree. This can’t be real

I mean I would be worried you would get camel toe for a start...

I have seen more camel toes recently...

Can someone explain how this is unhygienic? I mean I do wear underwear under leggings but because of chafing. I don’t get the hygiene argument. Surely if you wash them after every wear it’s the same as knickers?

The seams are in the ‘wrong’ place (hence the chafing). Means any fluids are not held in by double gusset fabric and more likely to seep. (just my opinion obvs)

Flamingojune · 24/04/2026 23:18

Whats tightness got to do with it? So nothing under skin tight jeans?.

Yes it really does, along with the reference to the slightly plumper friend. Grim.

Exactly. Only a bit gross if you wore them again without washing them.

I thought that, like they were hoping for lots of replies from women about how they love to wear tight leggings with no underwear…

Once saw a poor woman split her leggings but luckily she had underwear on! I get that some leggings are semi-sheer/show an outline, and some have knickers added, because there are a number of people who don't wear underwear but I'd always wear seamless knickers underneath.

I always would wash them every time I wear them, but some people will wear pants (as in leggings/jeans/trousers, whatever) more than once, so would probably find the idea of no underwear bad.

Do you go commando in all other day clothes or just leggings? 😝

Sometimes, yes. Depends on the fabric.

Hankunamatata · 24/04/2026 23:10

Gross. Of course you wear underwear. If your leggings are that tight, they are too tight

LightYearsAgo · 24/04/2026 23:10

As in leggings you wear outside of the house? Wouldnt occur to me that made undies unnecessary

Imfukinradiant · 24/04/2026 23:10

Nothing under them. Very funny that somehow that is apparently unhygienic!
How dare someone wear the wrong piece of fabric against their genitals. The horrors!! 😂
