20 Best Women’S Underwear For Running (2023 Updated)

Perfect all the way! Wear well, wash well, comfy. Repeat buyer of these!!!

Nice Stretchy material. Good fit. Color fast & does not bleed on other clothing !

Great but run small. Comfy

These are my favorite underwear, but they’re by no means perfect. I like that they are seamless and don’t show through most clothing, and I also find them comfortable. They’re a nice balance between most bikinis (which seem to be cut lower) and most “hipster” underwear (which I usually feel are cut too high).

But the problem with these underwear is that they don’t last very long before they start to ride up on my butt cheeks. I wash them in a mesh bag in cold water (hand wash cycle) and hang them up to dry, but they still wear out relatively quickly.

Some pairs last longer than others and I’m not sure why. Some of them only seem to last for a few wears before they start to ride up, while others will last up to a year, but I don’t think they ever last longer than that.

In contrast, my husband also wears Jockey underwear (the Elance style) and they last for YEARS. I wish these No Panty Line Promise underwear would last longer, but I still like them. I just usually wait until Jockey is having a sale to buy them.

I’ve worn No Panty Line Promise bikinis and string bikinis for about 5 years. I love them. They have always been my go-to panty. I thought I would try these lace waist band styles. I love these too. What I like most is that the wide lace waist band eases the feel of the top edge of the band as compared to the other two styles.

I still love the other two but this adds another level of comfort and variety. Also, is seems that elastic band around the leg holes is softer and more comfortable than before but that might be all in my head.

And I love the animal print patterns.

I’ll start by saying I’m a guy who is in between a large and extra large in the lady styles, so I purchased both sizes to try. When I first saw them I thought there was no way either of them would fit.

They just looked too small, but I was wrong. They both fit. The stretch was fantastic and molded around my guy parts nicely. The compression of the fabric was light but supportive. It was so light that as I wore them I thought they would not stay in place, that they would slide down or shift as I moved, but they didn’t.

The only difference for me was the smaller one seemed more sheer because it was stretched out more. Great option for anyone.

This is my second pair of Runderwear pants, my first pair was the briefs which I absolutely love. I wanted a second pair so got the hipsters in the same size as my other pair and my normal size, however, these ones are so uncomfortable and fit totally different.

I wore them for a run and they’ve given me small rashes as they are so tight. Very disappointed that the fit and sizing is so different.

Difficult to review this product as the sizing guide didn’t seem to match for me. Ordered a small (I’m a standard size uk 6) although I can get them on it gives the impression I have four bum cheeks!!! Not able to wear as they look so awful :(.

Disappointed was an understatement.

Extremely comfortable. Great for running. No chafing, no riding up or down. Well worth paying the extra for.

I was a little disappointed in this hipster. I usually wear a boyshort but thought I would try this. The material was ok, and seriously moisture wicking – kept me comfy through a 2 hour weightlifting set & then a 2 mile sprint workout.

YAY! BUT, The tiny waistband was a little thinner than I really liked, & the crotch was a bit narrow. Also it ran a little large. I am 5’5″, 116, & got a M but it is a little loose. Additionally, ladies, if you wear those little panty shields, they will not adhere to this material.

They might sit in there at the point when you are getting dressed ( though not very well at all ) but once you begin to perspire, that liner will be all over the place. Just saying. I think I prefer a bamboo type material over this.

It’s be fine for wearing at home but not for the gym. Thanks much!.

First the good part, they are very comfortable and no riding up in back. Also, if you are using them because of an incontinence problem, as far as I am aware, they do work for very light incontinence (think a big sneeze or laugh, or in my situation when I lift something heavy).

Now for the not so great part. They definitely do not work for “wicking away” moisture caused by excessive sweating. I am not sure about the wicking caused by leaks since I live in FL where the climate plays a role in increased sweat production.

I don’t like the way they feel when I sweat because it makes it feel like I wet my pants and did not changed clothes. That is not to say that any other type of underwear that I’ve found, wicks away sweat moisture.

So that is a big negative for me. But since I am usually more concerned with the idea that I am covered should I suddenly cough, lift a heavy object, etc. The other part that I dislike is that I am not sure that underwear that is used for light incontinence needs to be mad of so much material/ thickness that it feels as though I am walking around with a “poopie diaper”.

Do I know what it feels like to walk around in a poopie diaper, not literally; but, in the sense that if I had to guess, it would feel like the panties do. I would think that a third level of “absorbency” could be created for very, very light incontinence AND sweating! It is annoying that you don’t because I am sure there are other people whose situation is much like mine.

Even the makers of the pads don’t make those for very very light leaking. Idky. It is definitely a piece of the market that you missed.

To be completely frank, both the Speax and Thinx products I bought were an unexpected let down for me. I really tried to not have too unreasonable expectations, except that I hoped the price of each product would be reflected through the quality of each underwear (especially since these ain’t exactly inexpensive period or incontinence options).

Alas, both Speax and Thinx products I purchased have frayed and produced small strands of strings after my first handwash for each item. I thought ahead and made sure to handwash all of my products to make sure I was extra gentle with them hoping this would help them last even longer, so I avoided the washing machine altogether.

Still, I am surprised by the quality of the stitching for all of the products I bought. *big sigh* I was really excited to purchase sustainable, reliable period and incontinence underwear, and I still am! I just won’t be buying any of these underwear products from this company again aaaaany time soon, or at least until the quality is 100% reflected in the pricing.

This was all just surprising for me since this company and its products claim to be “sustainable,” so I simply assumed the stitching would be up to par so as to help make these products last EVEN longer (plus this attention to detail could increase this company’s credibility and public image–but hey, this ain’t my job lol).

Overall, from this experience and my personal opinion, Thinx and Speax underwear are NOT worth the price for such–frankly–sloppy quality. I really really hope Thinx and Speax products improve so maybe I can return to y’alls online store and purchase more in the future.

For now, I shall NOT be buying any more of these products. Thank you.

These underwear are a great idea but need some improvements in quality control & design. Out of three pair, two had problems with the waistband – the sewing was poorly done & started to unravel after one hand wash (hadn’t even worn them yet).

This problems is likely a quality control issue. The second problem is more about design. The absorbent material in the crotch bunches up while wearing them. A simple solution would be to sew through this area (similar to quilting).

I did this on the remaining pairs and also resewed the waistbands. Seems to me like a lot of work for make expensive underwear useable. However, now that I’ve fixed them, they are absorbent, comfortable.

, and easy to hand wash.

number 1 forever

Great briefs feel like I can wear them daily

TranslateShow in original languageTrès confortable pour le sport. Absorbe bien l’humidité et sèche rapidement.

These are thin – VERY thin. I thought they were going to have a little Spanx-like shape control, but all my rolls and bulges are still perfectly on display. If that was the only problem with them, I’d be fine – good undies are good undies, after all.

However, these full briefs end up completely and immediately in my crack. I did a little test: I put them on – they covered my cheeks completely (perfect) – I took ten steps, and the wedgie was intense.

I have pictures that I hoped to add to this review, but I can’t see how to add them. An intense wedgie after 10 steps is a horrible way to spend your day. Even if I wear them under tight-fitting pants, they do not stay in place.

And the material is so soft that after two washes, all the “tag” information – name, washing instructions, material content – is completely gone. I wish I could return these, but I have washed and worn them.

Very disappointed.

These are my new go-to undies. They stay in place and are light enough that it doesn’t feel like you’re wearing anything at all. Not only that, they look amazing!

I really like the feel of these underwear! Though I’m more of a full coverage girl (I got a BIG booty…) I will still wear these!

I bought these for cycling to work, bikepacking, and backpacking. Having no seams, quick drying and super lightweight these are perfect for cycling in. They don’t bunch up and there’s no uncomfortable seams.

Sizing is weird I am 8/10 and bought the M/L. I imagine these are going to dry quickly handing off my backpack also when traveling.

I wanted to stop having to wash my normal underwear daily worried they will wear out pretty soon. So purchased this workout underwear. The material definitely washes easily and dries out much faster being synthetic (like most athlectic wear).

I feel much more confident this will endure daily washing. Moreover, its comfortable and feels flattering to wear as well.

After positive reviews I was hopeful but no good for this tall pear shaped lady. Would fit a round bottom / bubble butt. Please will someone make briefs for the inverted heart shape bottom – the most common kind but terribly underserved by the market.

These shorts added to my pursuit of sleeping on a cloud. I spent a great deal of time (and investment) in bedding that would support the best sleeps ever. I like to wear the Vitasea All Yours Tee with these shorts to bed.

OMG. Perfection. I typically wear a Lulu size 4 and I like the XS in there. I ordered 4 immediately after receiving the first 2 pairs. The first 2 pairs I ordered were a size small and I can appreciate them for times where I feel bloated.

I wash inside out and lay flat to dry.

Love to wear this with dresses during summer months. It’s not hot at all. In fact it’s super comfy and light. It helps avoid chaffing. When I wear short dresses, I’m not worried that my underwear is showing.

Usually I’m a medium. But I might need a small size if I want more hold like on tummy area. I feel like with the medium size, the legs keep moving up, I have to keep pulling it down. Online store always out of small.

Stores don’t carry this.

I was so excited to try these as I needed something to wear under skirts/dresses to prevent ‘chub rub’. 7″ are too long when wearing a shorter dress so the 5″ would be perfect. The quality, sizing, softness, etc are a 5 star.

I gave a rating of 3 stars as there is no silicone on the bottom part of the legs to keep the legs from riding up. PLEASE add some silicone strips to the leg area to prevent this from happening. If you do these would be perfect!.

I have had two babies via c-section and if you’ve had more than one (or maybe even just one) c-section, you know your belly is never the same. I found that after my second c-section finding panties that fit has been a literal nightmare.

I have resorted to only wearing underwear when I have to over the last year because the situation is that bad. I do not enjoy going commando but I also hate wearing ill-fitting panties. I have never bought “intimates” from Old Navy but I am an avid ON shopper.

In a desperate search to find panties that don’t roll down and end up under my belly, squeeze the life out of me or just don’t come up high enough. I tried these. They are so comfortable, come up high enough to feel secure but not in an old lady granny panty type of way.

Honestly, they’re kind of sexy IMO. I’m a size 10-12 in jeans at ON so I went with the size medium in these. I also wear high waisted jeans/pants only so the fact that these are also high waisted does not bother me at all.

They did not come up over the top of any jeans I tried them on with. I ordered the pack that has white/blue/blue & white stripe/grey & white stripe/black. I love them all. Super soft and the best fit! I will for sure be ordering more ASAP.

Something just feels kind of off about this thong. I get this vibe with a good portion of Old Navy’s plus size clothing, where it feels like they just scale-up the skinny-people clothes without thinking about how to make the cut work.

I personally have a “pouch,” and it neither sits under it comfortably, nor over it. Also, the crotch area is really thin; if i do a splits-like motion, I am definitely not covered entirely. The sides of the underwear don’t stay up, and just roll around as I walk.

I feel like the band and crotch area need to be just a touch wider for their larger sizes for it to truly “work” the same way it probably works on thinner bodies. It is definitely still wearable for around the house though, and they do look super cute, but if I were to wear this out for hours at a time, I’d definitely be uncomfortable and having to make adjustments under my clothes all the time.

My life has changed, and the only other time I said that was when I became financially independent. I bought the following, and my physical form, comfort and the ease of my body has brought me true peace.

My life starting 2022 and beyond will be like no other years lived so far. my purchases [I rate them all 5/5]: Barely Zero Your-Size-Is-The-Size Mid Waist Brief Barely Zero Your-Size-Is-The-Size Wireless Bra 2021 Barely Zero Your-Size-Is-The-Size Classic Wireless Bra 2021 Barely Zero Your-Size-Is-The-Size Spaghetti Strap Wireless Bra (note for this last one, can be a little deep cut if you have C sized breasts).

I’m at 18 weeks, my usual underwear had been feeling small so I wanted to try out this no-size option. I actually tried Truekind’s one size option first but it was way too big on me, and I didn’t like how it was so high-waisted.

These fit perfectly and I know it sounds weird but I look forward to putting these on in the morning. You can’t see the lines under leggings either, which I was concerned about. I’ve washed them according to the instructions about 5 times now and they are still like new.

I’m going to need another set (or 2 or 3)!.

I literally laughed the first time I put these on, they were THAT comfortable. My reaction was “Are you kidding me?! These are so comfortable!!” It’s like you’re wearing nothing. (They do ride up a bit, so if that feeling bothers you, then these aren’t for you.

I don’t really care so much. ) I’m so glad I tried this brand. Everything arrived undamaged, tidily packaged, lovely presentation. I’m a little nervous on how the bonded seams will hold up over time, but I launder mine by hand.

They dry quite quickly, which is handy. Great for wearing under a more fitted outfit since you will get ZERO panty-lines!! :).

Very comfortable shorts, I always where these when I go out for a run. So far never had any issues with it. When it comes to sportswear, when you are aware of the clothing, it usually means there is something not right.

But when I wear my odlo baselayers, I am never really aware of them, meaning they are just perfect.

Bought odlo products many many years ago and found them great in fact still have them. The quality has inky got better. These are so comfortable. Just love them. One thing I would say is that there are too many labels and can be irritating so I cut them off.

Boxer bought to be tested as a product to take in treks of several days during which it is necessary to wash and to dry. The product suits me very well because comfortable and perfectly handles perspiration.

The feeling of always staying dry has been tested in running. However, I find that the boxer’s belt lacks a bit of elasticity. In addition, at this price, I will buy only the amount necessary to go trekking, and I would exclude a daily use.

Not the same as they used to be. Very disappointed. I had a bunch of the Comfort Stretch Thong and Bikini, and have always loved them, but something has changed in the making of these, they mark my body all around, its very uncomfortable and I keep digging in to fix it, I am fully aware I am wearing thighs uncomfortable panties all day long.

It also digs in on my belly and makes a very ugly mark, and I am my normal weight and pretty fit. I am very disappointed that these have changed because I got a lot of them so I would have nice new underwear for a while but am thinking I will have to look elsewhere.

I am leaving 3 starts because they do seem like good quality and looks like will last, unfortunately I am not sure I want to keep wearing them. I am hoping they loosen up over time and dont dig in all the wrong places all the time.

Like it literally moves inside of me, I have never experienced this before with panties. Very unpleasant.

I LOVE this fabric. Its like wearing a cloud. Seriously. SO soft and comfy its almost unnoticeable on! Now the fit. the leg openings are a bit too big/open? So it rides almost instantly in the butt. So 2nd wear i tried these as “period” panties as a self-comfort treat when I was just chilling in bed and wearing them with a pad with wings I didn’t have any problems with fit.

It like the pad reinforced them to stay put. so i will wear them for this, and try a brief or shortie next order until they rework the butt on these (please!). Because like I said. BEST FABRIC EVER! I would buy only these forever if they could bring the butt/back of leg in/down a little and/or make them stay in place.

I wanted to like these. I have a few bras from Third Love that I absolutely love, and I wanted to purchase underwear to match. This was the only style that came close to “matching”, meaning at least the colors matched.

Yes, they were soft and stretchy and weren’t very visible under clothes but…. they also stretched out during the day so they started riding up, which made them bunch so then they did show under clothes.

Also they don’t breathe. I wore one pair once and don’t plan to wear them again. I’m annoyed that in order to try this style I had to spend $50 and now it’s a waste. And I generally won’t buy a bra if there isn’t underwear to match, so I guess I need to find a new perfect bra also.

I’ve been waiting for years for Land’s End to start making underwear again! These are the perfect fabric blend–just enough cotton to be breathable, but also with the right amount of stretch. Please, Land’s End, make more intimates–I still have some I bought from you years ago! Description said they run large, so I ordered a small.

Then after trying them ordered two more! Would like more colors, especially ivory and white.

I’m so disappointed with my purchase. The leg openings of the panties are way too large, the elastic around the leg openings is too loose, wrong fit. Doesn’t Lands’ End use plus size fit models? I would have sent them back except that I don’t feel comfortable sending back used undergarments.

Please Lands’ End, re-think the briefs and offer your customers good fitting panties.

Tried two. Met my needs perfectly. Comfortable, easy to care for, very well made. Have replaced all my other imperfect undies. If pastel colors are added, I’ll get them. I’ve waited many years for Lands End to go back into making underwear.

Until now, I had never found any to replace those I bought years ago. Thank you!.

I’m giving a 3/5 even though I do love these undies – I just have a few qualms. The main issue I have is that they seem to run a little small. I laid them out over my other Parade mediums and these are almost an inch smaller on each side.

I kept checking the packaging and the tag to make sure I didn’t get a small, but nope, they’re mediums! So because they seem to be made smaller, they fit a little differently. My booty isn’t covered at all.

Like, these might as well be a cheeky cut. I was worried about the seams digging in because they sure do press in, but they don’t leave deep red marks or feel uncomfortable. Getting them on I have to hold my breath because it always feels like I won’t be able to get the elastic past my thighs (I have pretty wide thighs).

The other little issue I’ve run into is for some reason menstrual products don’t want to stick to this fabric. They will with some work but it’s not easy-breezy. I do really like these undies and they really are super soft, and I’ll probably buy more in the future, but with these things in mind.

The inconsistent size on the products to the size measurements. The low response to my email concerns. The controlled reviews; they are only selected per parades request to the customer. Every pair of underwear I have tried with your guidance has either fallen off or cut into me so tight I feel unwell.

This pair was the cut that runs too tight in the band. If I was to go larger the gusset would be too long. I want the products to be as good as your reviews are but I feel that it was over hyped. The positive is that the cotton lining in this underwear is longer than most, which is nice.

I mostly love these. The colours are beautiful, the fabric really is super soft, and the cut is great! High cut on the leg, and truly high waisted. Sexy AND comfy. However, the sizing is not consistent with Parade’s other styles.

I perfectly fit the Re:Play styles in S. But the S for SuperSoft undies is way too tight on me. I noticed other people have mentioned this as well. I ordered a S, which by the size guide recommendations should have fit perfectly.

But I am definitely an M. Luckily Parade makes it super easy to get your money back and get the undies you really love.
