I Never Wear Underwear to Work Out. Maybe You Shouldn’t Either.

Is that gross? I never thought so, but then I mentioned this in the Glamour office the other day, and everyone stared at me wide-eyed.

Before that moment, I never considered anyone would wear underwear to work out. To me, that is the gross concept. Like, doesn’t it get all sweaty?

All bunched up? No thanks, I’ll pass.But I was alone on an island of commando exercisers. For research, I decided to poll the office anonymously to try and get everyone’s habits and take on the subject.

The results, to me, were stunning.Every single other person gave a resounding yes. They wore underwear to work out and were horrified at the suggestion that they wouldn’t.“I've tried not wearing underwear, but the sweat stain on my leggings was truly egregious,” wrote one of my colleagues, with another one saying, “I can't imagine not.” One of my (few) male colleagues pointed out that he thinks he “would be arrested if I didn’t,” which, fair. “I don't think you necessarily need to wear underwear, but I like to feel a barrier so I will usually wear something,” pointed out another.
