Leggings & underwear

9 replies

FlySwimmer · 13/05/2022 16:07

I have gym leggings, but I’m looking at buying some cotton ones as I’m recovering from a leg injury and they look comfy for mooching about the house, and maybe venturing out for a (slow) walk. My question is, do people not wear underwear with them, or is there a particular kind of underwear to wear to avoid very obvious VPL? Or is the trick to wear long tops over? I don’t have many tunic-style ones.
With my gym leggings I definitely get a bit of VPL sometimes (some styles better than others), but since I’m just in & out of the gym, it hasn’t bothered me overly. With the ones I’m looking at, people may actually see me out & about in them. So, underwear tips please!

I don’t care about vpl…but I also make sure my top covers my bum!

Victoria secret’s teeny no seam (tinypiece of fabric for a ridiculously high price) thong is my personal go to. I think some people go commando but that’s not for me!

I always wear a long top with leggings.

I never wear underwear with leggings - more comfy and no vpl

I don't really care about VPL. I do find that marks and spencer cotton shorts undercrackers tend not to give a VPL anyway. I do wear a long loose top but not with the intention of hiding my rear. Just preference

For your purposes I’d probably look for thin joggers or harem trousers rather than leggings, cooler and no vpl issues

Vpl isn't really a big issue. However make sure your leggings are not see through, I've seen several womens underwear through their leggings so I always check mine are completely opaque if I have to leave the house or am not wearing a long top.

Commando. I find it so comfortable.
