VPL

I've started a new exercise class...Gyrotonics. I bought some new exercise wear, but I was wondering if VPL was a big issue when exercising? I have some lazer cut seam undies that usually work well, but with the exercise pants that I bought, they do show. My top covers my bum, but not when I stretch or do the legwork.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Cool equipment! I think the whole VPL has been completely overplayed (should I duck?). In the gym comfort is the most important.

Honestly when I sweat in the gym I can care less about VPL

Seems to me that if visible bra straps and thongs peeking out the tops of low rise pants don't raise eyebrows anymore, most people should be able to cope with seeing a faint outline of your knickers when you are exercising. I'm with Shevia in thinking anyone tsk tsking about other peoples's VPL at the gym needs to get a life.

Sometimes at the gym, I don't care, moisture wicking is king! If you do care, I have fallen madly in love with the Soma Vanishing Edge panties. They have *grippers* on the backside and actually stay where you put them. I do wear them when I run because I hate shifting panties though - but like I said, they don't wick moisture or anything awesome except stay put and show no panty lines.

In the gym, nobody cares as long as you are there.

I am Team Don't Care, but I wear my Vanishing Edge panties anyway because a,though I don't care about anybody else's VPL, I do kinda care about mine.

Not an issue, IMO. If there are mirrors you can be pretty sure people will be looking at their own reflection, not at you.

I do not care about VPL at the gym. And I try not to care much, period.

For working out, I wear what's comfortable.

I'd be grateful that you're wearing underwear at all! Doing floor work behind a woman who is commando under her leggings (which are stretched so tight they are transparent) is not fun.

@Lantana - LOL!

@ClearlyClaire - OK, that's just gross!

I've think I'm fine with VPL now.

If you're worrying about your VPL you're not working hard enough. I work out to look good afterwards, not to look good there, if you know what I mean.

Er, I work out in a thong, making VPL essentially impossible. I find a thong to be the only comfortable thing to work out in, actually. To the extent that even if I wasn't wearing one during the rest of the day, I'll change into one for the gym. BUT if that wasn't the case, I guess I'd agree with everyone else, and say VPL isn't a big worry at the gym.

I figure if you're going somewhere to sweat, grunt, and twist yourself into unflattering positions with mussy hair and no makeup on, panty lines aren't going to be the one thing that keeps you from looking your sexy best. LOL
