The Best Seamless Underwear for Working Out

In general, activewear tends to be on the form-fitting side, which is helpful if you're attacking a HIIT class or a long run and don't want your clothes to distract you. That can present a challenge, though, if you're trying to avoid a VPL. Even a seemingly thick pair of black leggings can reveal a noticeable visible panty line.

Skipping underwear for a workout is totally fine (assuming you change out of your leggings right afterward) and will eliminate all risk of your underwear showing. But if that's not your thing, the best underwear for working out by far are seamless underwear. These are the best type of underwear to work out in because they are made to stand up to sweat, without showinga single ripple.
