gym/underwear issue - help please

[wtfisgoingonhere]

Totally not an AIBU but looking to the ladies for some advice.

Recently returned to gym to do several classes a week and have discovered my previously reliable knickers are no longer comfortable.

They are nothing fancy just black seam free shorts style things.

I know part of the issue is my weight gain (hence returning to gym) but no longer sell these where I got them so can't just go buy a size or two bigger

The issue is this:
They feel uncomfortable between my thighs, my bikini line and just generally 'right up there'.

I have ruled out any infection, not changed any washing products and have ensured they are properly dry before wearing

I just want some advice on what to wear under my gym trousers to stop me having to keep stealthily adjusting/scratching mid class - doesn't help my workout, I feel gross /irritable keep digging my underwear out, and would be mortified if someone spotted me

No real requirements other than plain dark colour (to avoid showing them - all my bottoms are black)

Please help me! !

Have you considered compression shorts?

bigger knickers and sod the VPL?

I always go commando in my running tights.

I'd buy big pants too! Never really got the no VPL because the alternative is look I'm not wearing any knickers! It's ok I take the knicker line! Life's to short to be picking pants out of your bum!

I bought 3/4 type running tights/legging things made by Nike. I sweat obscenely so knicker free is the best way to go!

I wear nothing under running tights or capris.

They have a built-in gusset, so you can go without.

Try a different style of knickers? I find shorts style ride up in the wrong places.

I go commando too in running leggings.

Would really recommend roping in a trusted someone to check they do not go see through whilst squatting first though.

I wear big M&S pants!

Tesco do some good seamfree high-leg briefs in black and nude. Twin pack for £5. A lot of dancers wear them under leotards and they do shorts-style ones as well I think. They are pretty long-lasting too.

these are my pants of choice under gymwear, theyre seriously the most comfortable pants ever

I'm another in big cotton M&S pants!

I use some black seam free shorts from primark for the gym. Think you got 2 or 3 pairs in a set for a couple of quid. I find shorts more comfortable but I imagine big pants would do the same as you don't get the edges of the leg likely to end up up your arse.

I wear cotton M&S thongs under my gym wear. I know thongs aren't for everyone but I find them comfortable my fat arse gathers the fabric of bigger pants into a thong anyway

Have you tried chamois cream? I use it for cycling. It's rather messy and chilly when you put it on, but it deals with chafing very well.

Commando all the way.....

I have never heard of chamois cream. I imagine it smells leathery!

Spudlet please tell me more! What is this magic cream ypu speak of???

Wow thanks for all the advice. Just got out the gym now

Will get hubby to assess the comando vs seethroughness

I wear gym trousers though so they have a seem, can someone please reassure me this will be ok??

I couldn't go commando, I need something to attach a panty liner to!

Always go commando if the leggings have a built in gusset. One less thing to worry about.

every pair of drawers I have ever tried goes straight up my whizzer so I wear thongs....still up there, but a lot less fabric and a smooth bum

I bought some seam free knickers from primark... They are so comfy. Got them in the sportswear section. Wouldn't wear anything else to the gym these days!

Big, hip hugging knickers.

Big knickers in a multipack from Asda. Not seam free, but I honestly don't give a fuck if anyone can tell that I am, in fact, wearing underwear, it's hardly shameful! So comfy though. And only £4 a pack too.
