Knickers!

[SplatPancake]

I’m 2 runs away from (finally!) completing a C25K-originally started 2 years ago, and restarted a few times since.

My issue is my knickers - cannot get them to stay up, and then belly exposed and all v v uncomfortable and unpleasant. Some but not all of my Compression leggings keep things under control. One running friend I spoke to said she goes commando, but not sure I’m quite ready for that!!

Any suggestions? Other than big-assed granny pant...

I wear seamfree microfibre shorts from Primarni. They seem to do the job, and only cost about £4 for a pack of three if I remember correctly. Might be worth a try.

Commando running here, so much more comfortable!

Commando running here too!

I wouldn't wear any.

Proper exercise pants from tk Maxx. Made huge difference to comfort.....no way could I go commando at nearly 50

Thank you, I’ll have a poke around TK Maxx & Primary and maybe attempt a commando run too 😱

I don’t run but go commando at the gym-much comfier

I went commando when running once, only to find the centre seam chafed my lady garden area. Ouch! Check any seams first! I now wear M & S micro fibre granny pants in black and swear by them. Keeps my belly warm too!

Gap have nice light pants in the gapfit range- I wear them.

If you go commando at the gym do a deep bend in the mirror first- have seen more arse detail than I needed to when behind people whose Lycra is obviously going!

🤢

don't run outside- but for the gym (and in general) VS underwear or proper branded from tkmaxx

Thank you all, tried no pants in the gym today and it worked (under new non falling down leggings!)

Felt really weird walking in commando though 😂

I wear Runderwear on all runs, and they're brilliant - stay in place, hold everything in, fab!
