What are the best type of knickers to wear under gym leggings to avoid vpl?

I don't wear any....they're going to be washed after every wear as they're sweaty....???

Motherwithflaws · 24/12/2016 09:47

None. Be a rebel!

If you are going to wear none make sure your leggings are VERY thick and don't go see through when you bend over.

Best way to test is with them off. Push your fingers against the fabric. If you can see skin then they will be see through.

Best knockers are these. http://www.marksandspencer.com/smoothlines-no-vpl-lace-low-rise-shorts/p/p22379638?image=SD022T6170377Z0XXEC90&color=WHITE&prevPage=plp

They have totally flat smooth edges and buy a size up so no digging in and causing a vpl that way either

Big cotton ones... I'm a sweaty mess anyway, vpl is the least of my problems.

a thong

Seconding checking that your leggings aren't see through if you're going knickerless. There are some women in my gym who haven't done that and it's all a bit I DO NOT WANT TO SEE YOUR BARE ARSE FLEXING AT ME, THANKS.

I like M&S microfibre shorts under leggings for the gym, they're at least minimal VPL and very comfy.

None
With Nike legend longs or capris

eurochick · 24/12/2016 15:30

None too. If using shared equipment I sit on a sweat towel to add an extra layer.

imjessie · 24/12/2016 18:03

I wear g strings but I do the bendy over test in changing rooms !!

Creatureofthenight · 24/12/2016 18:04

Large cotton ones and don't care if I have VPL!

donajimena · 24/12/2016 20:34

Cotton ones here too and feathers to VPL

CaoNiMerrilyOnHigh · 24/12/2016 20:36

I wear the Uniqlo seamless ones. Comfy and no VPL.

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 24/12/2016 21:15

Large cotton m&s ones. I don't care about Vpl in gym gear.

TweenageAngst · 24/12/2016 21:18

Runderwear, they are comfortable and never move, I don't care about VPL.

KittyandTeal · 24/12/2016 21:19

Runderwear thong or the brooks thong. Both sweat wicking and seamless so no chafing.

lasttimeround · 25/12/2016 12:43

Oh please do knicker up. I'm so tired of seeing every cranny. Surely vpl is preferable to that much detail.

Believeitornot · 25/12/2016 20:21

Who cares about vpl when you're exercising.

RitaCrudgington · 25/12/2016 20:26

M&S no VPL low rise Brazilian

Chickenagain · 25/12/2016 20:30

M&S thong. I'm at the back so no arse cheek revelation here. But my lovely friend in front has hideous vpl - really breaks my concentration.

exercisegirl · 29/12/2016 20:53

Thanks for all the advice.
