What underwear is best for men and women to wear when exercising?

If we were still in the era of classical Olympic competition, no one would require us to wear that thing called "underpants" when exercising. Or, if we have the courage like Richard Branson, the boss of Virgin Group, to run naked on the street in public, we don’t have to worry about what “underwear” to wear. Unfortunately, "what if" is just a fantasy. Let us return to reality and talk about the “underwear Sutra”. Because the right underwear will make you healthy, sexy and comfortable, while the wrong underwear will deform your buttocks!

First of all, remember: it is best not to wear ordinary briefs when exercising

Reason: Wearing ordinary briefs during exercise is a mistake that many people make easily! The reason why it is wrong is that when you are young, you will not think there is anything wrong with wearing thin, non-supportive briefs during exercise. You don't have to wait until you are old, because your buttocks will be aligned with the center of the earth due to the relaxation of elastic fiber tissue and lack of support.

Secondly, please note: different sports require different underwear

So, if you don't wear briefs when exercising, what kind of underwear should you wear? The best choice is special sports underwear, which has three-dimensionally cut triangle cups to support important parts, and has elastic bands on both sides to support the buttocks. Moreover, different sports also require the selection of underwear with different performances!

1. Spinning bike: Choose underwear with good breathability and flat feet

It is more appropriate to choose boxer briefs with good breathability, because this sport consumes a lot of physical energy and the body temperature rises quickly. If the underwear is not breathable, the part will be like a small steamer, which is not only uncomfortable but also affects the "ability to make babies". Those truly professional spinning instructors will choose underwear with pads on the inner thighs, which can greatly reduce the discomfort caused by close contact between the thighs and the seat during exercise.

2. Yoga, Pilates - choose loose and elastic underwear

If you are doing yoga or Pilates, which involve large movements but slow speed, perspiration and breathability are no longer the main concerns. The looseness and elasticity of the underwear become particularly important. Otherwise, it would not be easy to create difficult shapes. Imagine how painful it would be to do yoga with a hairy crab tied up!

3. Boxing, step aerobics, Latin dance - it is advisable to choose loose, seamless T-back pants

Boxing exercises, step exercises, Latin dance... accompanied by music, I can vent the frustration that I have been holding in the office for a whole day. I feel that the fat on my body is getting tighter and tighter. But don't forget that underwear also needs to be stylish. If you like to wear tight clothes to show off your figure, then a pair of "invisible" T-back pants is a must-have. On the podium, no matter whether it is a male coach or a female coach, no one wants the lines of underwear to steal the limelight from the lines of the body under tight clothes.

4. Swimming: It is advisable to choose underwear with good breathability and strong waterproofness

Soak in the water and imagine yourself as Thorpe. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a shark suit. A set of swimsuit that is both breathable and waterproof can not only reduce the damage to your body from germs and disinfectant chemicals in the swimming pool, but also make your body more comfortable.

5. Outdoor sports: cotton, sweat-absorbent underwear is recommended

With blue sky, white clouds and sunshine, it has become basic course to apply isolation cream and sunscreen when doing outdoor sports, but places that are not exposed to the sun cannot become forgotten corners. During intense outdoor sports, the parts of the body closest to the skin are most afraid of being "taken care of" by profuse sweat for a long time. Therefore, in addition to cotton and sweat-wicking sportswear, don't forget: a pair of cotton sports underwear is even more essential. Just like cotton quilts at home will become damp after being left for a long time, cotton sports underwear will also absorb sweat during exercise. However, if it is made of pure cotton, it may "absorb too much sweat and not enough sweat dissipation", so there is also a saying that when climbing snow-capped mountains, cotton socks and cotton underwear will become "invisible killers" - it might be worth studying it carefully.
