Totally hilarious and, I don't care! COMMANDO 4 LIFE!

This is why you wipe down the machines before you hope on. Problem solved!

I've been having to work out in my underwear and I hate it. HATE IT! Especially since I have to keep on wearing sweaty underwear through the rest of the work day. I wish I was brave enough to shimmy out of it in the locker room when I change with 2 female coworkers who take the same class.

I had a hysterical discussion on this topic with my fb moms group and was shocked by how often my friends are commando - even when not working out

Along these same lines, I clicked the link that spedrunner posted about LL bean and decided to see what kind of shorts LL bean had to offer. In the reviews for some of the athletic shorts the reviewers keep talking about the "panty" in the shorts and how the "panty" is too thin.

A. Don't call it a panty, that's what's really grossing me out - it's a LINER

B. What do you expect? Real underwear sewn in the shorts?

See, this is what happens when you wear panties, they get all in a wad

It isn't like folks are going to the gym without pants/ shorts on.

I worked at Victoria's Secret in college. We were required to call them panties. *shudder*

Nope. Still not donning undies to workout out.

I have seen the light and I'm not going back. I don't care what the article says.

I duck into a bathroom stall because there is no way I'm taking my underwear off in front of my coworkers.

"with just a thin layer of pants to protect it"

Because the underwear you're wearing are the thickness of a diaper?

I've mastered the towel draping, but those wrap towels are also a godsend.

I don't understand the warm, moist bacteria breeding argument. Most workout clothes are made of wicking material, so wouldn't it make more sense to have just that on than a pair of soaked drawers just sitting there, holding all the sweat in? It's the same logic I use when not wearing a cotton shirt as my first layer in the winter when running outside. It just holds the moisture next to your skin.

[lasagnasshole]

Also, wouldn't this only apply to a few things - namely biking and any weightlifting activity that involved sitting on a bench.

I occasionally bike at the gym, and when I did phase 1 of NROLFW (never got past that...whoops!), I sat down at the lat pulldown station and the cable row station. And even at the cable row station, the contact with the bench was really more in the glute area since my feet were stretched out in front of me. Other than that, I never sit at the gym. (Also, I swim, which means there is a little layer of spandex separating my vagina from the water that god knows how many people have peed or spit in, and I've lived to tell the tale.)

But I also can't take seriously any article purporting to give medical advice that also uses the term "hoo-ha."

Good lord. Next thing you know, they'll be telling me my uterus will fall out if I run too much.

Well, duh! Of course it will!

Good idea, thanks!

I want to shake this woman. I got cysts on my labia thanks to wearing panties while biking!

In the regular gym I take my underwear off no problem but I hate doing it at my yoga studio. I feel like a 12 year old changing in the stall though and my yoga towel isn't big enough to drape.
