Sweaty knickers

I am sat here a bit upset. I have started back at the gym as I really want to get fit and healthy. During my workout I worked up a sweat which is great but it was the sweat in my groin area that has caused the upset. My knickers were soaked as were my leggings. Luckily they are black so no one could see but I feel really embarrassed.
Are there any knickers I can wear that will absorb the sweat? I’d love to wear different colours of leggings but I’m too worried.

Everyone else has a sweaty bum... They don't care about yours.

Wear 100% cotton underwear. I get sweaty in other materials.

This is totally normal surely?! I'm not generally sweaty, but when I'm at the gym or running then yes, I get a very sweaty bum. Everyone does!

my pants are often sweaty at the end of a long run. I don’t think it’s usually noticeable through my leggings or shorts and if it is i don’t care. It’s only sweat and I’ve been working out. I often have under boob sweat too!! 😂

if you look around at everyone at the gym anyone putting some effort in will be sweaty in all sorts of places too. They won’t be looking at you in judgement, as they’ll be too busy worrying about their own sweat patches 😂. Try not to stress and just be pleased you worked hard enough to work up a sweat.
