Do You Wear Underwear With Leggings?
Despite what the critics have said, leggings are pants and we think you should wear them whenever you please. Honestly, anytime we’re not relaxing in our MeUndies Loungewear, you can usually find us with a pair of black leggings on. But while we’re all channeling our rich yoga mom vibes, one question invariably comes up: Do you wear underwear with compression shorts/leggings? Pairing your undies with your leggings can feel like trying to set up two close friends. You love each of them individually, but would they be a good match together? Or would everything immediately get super awkward and just end up biting you in the butt?
Fortunately, MeUndies is here to give you a leg up on this age-old dilemma. Should you wear underwear with leggings?
Do You Wear Underwear With Leggings
Our answer? Whatever makes you happy! When reaching for those leggings, the choice between undies or none-dies is about as personal as it gets. Whatever you decide, there are a few things to bear in mind.
Going Commando
Choosing to wear leggings with no underwear is totally fine and peachy. Whether you’re simply more comfortable going commando at the gym, or you’re low on laundry at home, there’s no judgment here, soldier. Without the protective layer of undies, though, you may have to wash your leggings more often. That’s just the cost of freedom.
What Underwear to Wear With Leggings
So we’ve answered “are you supposed to wear underwear with leggings?” But if you are Team Undies, that still leaves the difficult choice of what underwear to wear with leggings. With the right fabric and style, putting on undies with your tight pants can feel even cozier than going commando!
The Right Material
When searching for the best underwear for leggings, material matters. If you’re getting your workout on, or just running your daily errands, wearing undies made of the right stuff can keep you cool and comfy all day long:
Soft Undies — First, you’ll want to pick out underwear that is comfortable on your skin. Scratchy undies under leggings can lead to chafing and irritation. Lucky for you, our signature Undies are made of super-soft, sustainable MicroModal fabric, which makes them stretchy and fabulously cozy. You’ll never again get your panties in a bunch when putting on your favorite leggings.
Breathable Undies — Sweat happens. When you and your leggings are doing a lot of moving, it’s especially important to keep your underwear dry. That’s when you should try our ultra-light, breathable Breathe Undies. They’re made of moisture-wicking fabric that’s also anti-odor, so you can stay fresh no matter how active you get in your activewear.
The Right Cut
However, fabric isn’t the only factor for picking the best under-leggings underwear. Finding the perfect style for you is crucial. MeUndies has a huge variety of Undie options in sizes XS-4XL, so you’ll always find the right cut for any butt.
Bikini — If you’re looking for total comfort—and coverage from any potential see-through leggings situations—go for our classic Bikini Undies. They’ve got a no-roll waistband for less slippage. Plus, their stylish silhouette and ridiculous softness make wearing leggings even more comfy.
Thong — The Undies so good they made a song about it. Our worry-free Thongs eliminate the dreaded VPL (visible panty line) in even the tightest leggings. But they’re also made of our gentle MicroModal fabric, so it’s like wearing a thong without wearing a thong.
Cheeky Brief — For those who don’t want to fully commit to a Thong style, but are looking to be a bit cheeky beneath their leggings, check out our Cheeky Brief. With a slightly higher rise and perfect amount of cheek peek, they give you that comfort you crave with that shape you desire. Your cheeks are sure to look chic.
High-Waisted — When you want a more secure feeling in leggings, without sacrificing comfiness, our relaxed High-Waisted Undies are the ones for you. They sit high on the hip, with a cute cheeky cut and feather-light band that doesn’t dig. Just because you’re in leggings doesn’t mean you can’t live the high life.
So what’s your take? Do you wear underwear with leggings? Whatever you choose, the important thing is that you’re comfortable. That’s what wearing leggings is all about! And with the right pair of Undies, we think leggings and underwear make a great pair. Don’t you just love it when your friends get along?
