You don’t wear knickers under running knickers do you? Or running shorts?

Admittedly I wear a bra under my running top but that’s because I am unusual in running circles in that I am a 30F and 50 years old and need serious stability, but knickers under running knickers????

The chafing!!! The sweat in your crevices!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I don’t wear running knickers. I wear knickers and leggings.

Kittykatmacbill · 24/03/2018 16:58

Just normal or sometimes thermal pants under my leggings/capris for me! What are running knickers?

Lobsterface · 24/03/2018 16:58

What are running knickers? I wear underwear and leggings.

You are going to get sweaty anyway. Keep several sets of leggins and use a fresh pair each run. That's why having a shower after a run feels like a reward Grin.

I just don't wear knickers....

Neganforever · 24/03/2018 17:00

I wear running knickers, they're mainly seam free so they can't be seen through my tights. Not knickers under knickers.

RunMummyRun68 · 24/03/2018 17:00

I much prefer to go commandoBlush

I used to wear normal pants under gym knickers when I raced.

OccasionalNachos · 24/03/2018 17:15

I find I chafe more without underwear Confused I do wear seamless pants under running tights though, or boy short style pants

Undercoverbanana · 24/03/2018 17:20

RunnIng knickers - they are what you wear on your bottom half when you run. Some people wear running tights in very cold weather, or shorts.

I have never heard of running knickers - I wear M+S knickers and running leggings

NellytheElephant18 · 24/03/2018 17:28

Please post a link to these ‘running knickers’ I’m intrigued!
I wear m&s knickers to run in (with shorts or leggings over) does that make them ‘running knickers’?

SnookieSnooks · 24/03/2018 17:32

I just wear my normal M&S microfiber knickers under my running tights or shorts. I don’t have special running knickers. I’m a very keen runner, also 50 (but a little less well endowed in the chest dept!)

I wear leggings. Where the fuck are you running in running knickers at the moment? My bum was numb with cold this morning.

RunMummyRun68 · 24/03/2018 17:44

Jeez I'd be a sight running along in them!!

I run lots of 5 and 10 k races, half marathons and the odd full marathon and I have NEVER seen any other runner wear those running knickers

Underwear for running is a thing though.....I believe the 'runderwear'brand is good but pricey

SocksRock · 24/03/2018 17:46

I wear standard M&S under running leggings. I keep meaning to try the decalthon seamless ones, but not got round to it yet.

No one, and I know a fair number of runners, wears those running knickers! Especially in March!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 24/03/2018 17:48

Running knickers. Under running tights.. Lucky pants Grin

2rebecca · 24/03/2018 17:48

I have several pairs of 3/4 length running tights that have a gusset and I don't wear pants under them. I also have some 2 layer running shorts I don't wear pants under as the inner layer is a pant. If I'm wearing something like Ron Hills I wear pants.

Sirzy · 24/03/2018 17:52

I just wear normal knickers. You can buy “runderwear” but it’s expensive as as I have never had an issue I haven’t bothered.

Just do what your comfy with though. I doubt anyone else cares what your wearing!

Sirzy · 24/03/2018 17:54

Same socks - I marshalled a race today and certainly don’t remember anyone wearing anything like that!

Undercoverbanana · 24/03/2018 18:21

God I wish I looked like Jess in mine but I’m 50 and have fat tits (hate them).

My knickers are a bit bigger than the ones on Jess in the photo - more coverage over the hips and bum. They are club knickers and I also wear a longer top.

I do own a pair of runderwear...sadly they’re a bit tight so I don’t wear them.

Bluntness100 · 24/03/2018 18:30

Well ok then. I'm fairly confident but I don't like running outside never mind running in what is effectively just yer pants.

I take my hat off to you. If you're running about in knickers in public. Running or otherwise. 😳

NellytheElephant18 · 24/03/2018 19:23

Oh my word!!! Shoot me if I ever leave the house in a pair of those! I can’t even work up to just wearing a sports bra and shorts in the summer to run in - I like coverage!
