The Top 12 Underwear Options For Every Workout

This set ticks all the boxes: The underwear is lightweight, stretchy, odor-resistant, and moisture-wicking, made possible by performance technology and seamless construction. They're affordable, available in 11 different palettes, and you'll want to wear them even when you're not working out.

Lululemon's smooth design, breathable cotton gusset, and ultra-soft fabric make this underwear perfect for low-intensity workouts that require a lot of contorting, like yoga.

Shimmying your way through a Beyoncé song requires bottoms that aren’t going to give you a wedgie every time you thrust a hip. Under Armour's stretchy thong stays put, and is made from a super lightweight, breathable tech material that doesn't need adjusting throughout the dance class.

Pilates pros swear by this super soft, moisture-wicking set. Their seamless, barely there feel ensures they won't bunch up, and the bonded seams and delicate cut ensures both irritation and VPLs are kept at bay.

Leave it to Reebok to come up with the perfect pair of briefs for jogging. According to reviewers, this stretchy, seamless underwear holds up well in the wash and won't bunch or chafe on longer runs. We also like that the pack of five is available in different color options, so you can mix and match if you want to stock up on multiple sets.

This set of six is breathable and seamless, with a higher waistband that offers compression and support. Grankee's multicolored pack is made for yoga, but the fact that they're moisture-wicking and will stay in place (another plus for the high-waist style) means you can use them for more intense training, too.

This brightly colored set is the ideal mix of stretchy performance fabric and comfort. Wear them on hikes, long walks, or even just to run errands—each thong has a tagless, seamless design and can be worn with anything from biker shorts to jeans. Plus, they're anti-odor and sweat-wicking, so you'll stay cool even on the hottest summer days.

The combo of merino wool and a mid-coverage cut makes this style feel like a dream; the soft material is tailor-made for chillier sports, like skiing and snowboarding. If you're someone who never misses a ski season, stock up on this basic.

Available in 37 different colors and prints in packs of multiples, these best-sellers offer moderate coverage and are tag-free for comfort. They're made from a lightweight cotton material that's ultra-breathable and perfect for working out in hotter temps—no wonder they have more than 100,000 5-star reviews.

If you're looking for something with a little more coverage, this affordable hipster-style underwear won't ride up, and has breathable mesh on the side to keep things breezy. The stretchy material is also moisture-wicking, so you can wear this to the gym or on the courts without breaking a sweat.

For a barely-there feeling, these briefs from Wander are great for working out. They're breathable, the high waist stays put, and they're so comfortable you may want to wear them with everything. Fortunately, the seamless and tagless design means you don't have to worry about panty lines.

Between cramps and low energy, working out during that time of the month gives you enough to worry about—but Thinx's leak-proof briefs ensures that comfortable underwear isn't on the list. They're ultra-absorbent, meaning you can use them in lieu of a pad or tampon, and are made from a tagless cotton fabric that won't dig into your skin.
