Welcome to the great debate. Today’s hot topic, surprise surprise, has to do with women’s panties and what to wear over them. Everybody loves a good pair of leggings. They hug your booty, they’re comfortable as heck, and they’re really damn cute. So what’s the problem? Wearing tight fabric all day begs the pressing question… Do you wear underwear with leggings?
I’m here to help, friends. When deciding what kind of underwear to wear under your leggings, it is important to consider a few different things such as the activity you’re doing and the fabric of your leggings and underwear. If you’re simply going about your daily business, then the biggest question around wearing underwear under leggings likely has to do with VPL: Visible Panty Lines.
This can be an interesting challenge. Leggings are always tight around the booty region, so wearing thick underwear with leggings means that they will likely show off some panty line. If panty lines are the problem, there are a couple of ways around this and plenty of options for underwear-wearing or not-wearing.
Yes, yes you can wear no underwear at all. You can do whatever makes your heart happy. BUT, there are a few things you should consider before you do.
I may be biased, but the best underwear for leggings are seamless thongs and the best part about that fact is that you can get some right here. Let me break it down. A thong forgoes hugging your cheeks for a more direct route: it goes right up your butt crack. By going up your crack, thongs reduce the amount of fabric on your butt therefore reducing your chance of panty lines.
But we didn’t stop there. We took every possible seam out of our thongs to make them virtually seamless. Less seams means less bulky fabric underneath your leggings. Speaking of bulky fabric, you’re gonna want something stretchy and thin to pair with that seamlessness. That’s why these undies are made from a nylon and spandex blend. Violà. No panty lines. No problems. If you are on the fence, check out our guide on the benefits on each type of women's underwear.

We’ve covered a lot of ground here talking about Visible Panty Lines (aka VPL), the benefits and drawbacks of going commando, as well as an in depth description of why thongs are a fan favorite for wearing underneath your leggings.
All of this undie talk has brought me to another burning question: what if you, my precious reader, DGAF about panty lines?! What if you have no opinion on going commando? What if you just wanted a one line answer rather than paragraphs of information? I STILL have the answer. Above all in life, comfort is key. Let me say it again for the people scrolling aimlessly…
If a specific cut of underwear makes you the most comfortable, whether it’s literal comfort or emotional comfort…you do YOU. If you can’t stand conforming to societal norms of wearing underwear everyday…don’t do it. Go commando forever. Tie your old underwear to a stake and set it on fire while chanting curses and spells. If you bend over backwards for a bikini cut, rock them and get more here.
If you’re a die hard for boyshorts, I get it. They’re fantastic. And you can get the best ones available right here. If you’re trying to show off those magnificent cheeks, hell yes.
