Here are the six types of workout underwear you need to know.
The Bikini
We all know that feeling when your underwear feels soggy. It’s a whole new world when you can start exploring performance underwear that stays in place, keeps you dry, and removes moisture, says Moving Comfort's duRivage-Jacobs. You don't want to be pulling at your underwear throughout the workout and feel the different stitches on your bare body — none of that makes for an enjoyable experience.

So, let's start with the bikini. While the cut of your undies all depends on personal preference, you really can't go wrong with a classic like the hipster bikini — consider it a safe intro to the workout panty. And, on a hot, muggy day, these will become your go-to.
This is your traditional silhouette that’s been around for decades, and we offer ours with a flattering, high-cut leg and lower rise, says ExOfficio's Mabanglo. I’d recommend this style for someone who wants a bit more coverage, who is not really into the full-cut brief, [but] she doesn’t want to expose too much.
Our bikinis have a stylized mesh on the back to lighten up the underwear and create breathability in that peak sweat zone, says duRivage-Jacobs. We bond the finishing so that there’s no bulk at the leg opening.
This workout underwear stays in place better than any other. I can do a million squats, deadlifts, and lunges without any creeping. They are super-comfortable with absolutely no shifting, says personal trainer Helsing. Plus, with its seamless edges, you won't feel any pesky stitching against your bum.
Our Out-of-Sight thong has no stitch, so it's going to give you minimal panty lines, says duRivage-Jacobs. And, she mentions that the brand sells just as many thongs as it does bikinis, in case you're questioning the comfort level of the thong. Just think of all the silky bottoms you can wear this summer with these sweat-evaporating panties.
I hated wearing thongs before I found these gems. They help me stay cool and dry during Spin classes without the embarrassment of panty lines, says Helsing. I also love how they stay in place during Spin jumps, which is key.
These boy shorts are my favorite for hiking and biking. They are tagless and seamless, which guarantees that I don't chafe or itch, says Helsing.
Stash these on your backpacking adventures. The sporty, mesh-polyester fabric is super-wicking, and means hand-washing and drying takes no time at all.
A more affordable hipster is this seamless, low-rise Jockey that comes in an array of fun colors. Its 95% nylon and 5% Spandex, breathable blend has a smooth finish, so there's less friction between your undergarment and bottoms.
Falke's mesh panels do double duty on this boy short: They playfully reveal skin and provide ventilation to keep that sweet breeze flowing through.
The Low-Impact Bra
Bras are the most essential part of having a great workout, says Six:02's Carroll. You want to feel confident that you’re supported, that everything fits in the right place, and that the bra is comfortable. And, just as you'd wear different outfits for different occasions, select a sports bra that fits your activity.

If you're heading to a low-impact workout like yoga or Pilates, you can get away with a less-intense bra. In fact, a lighter sports bra is preferred for easy movement, especially for those inversions you may do (a more supporting bra can make you feel too tight). Pretty straps, thinner fabric, and elastic-type bras are your best bet here.

We strategically use a power mesh, which is a lightweight lining fabric, and exterior shell fabric, which lightens up the bra to keep that ventilation going, says duRivage-Jacobs. And, if you're the kind of girl who prefers actual cup-and-band sizing over the S/M/L options, this brand offers sizes from A to E (and soon, F) and bands that range from 30 to 44.
Rotate your styles and don’t wear the same one all the time. Choose your bras to your unique preferences and personality. The versatility and variety of the bra is important as it relates to your outfit, duRivage-Jacobs continues. This number is so cute that we can't believe it's meant for the gym.
[On the backside of this bra,] the straps are so, so pretty, and honestly, I would wear this style bra under a cut-up T-shirt on a regular night out! I love the details under a flowy tank for a good yoga class, says Helsing. It also stands out on its own if I'm ditching my top during a particularly hard class. And, I don't feel sloppy heading out for a coffee with friends afterwards.
If you're a bit smaller-chested and looking for a rad, sporty bra for your athleisure outfit, this stretchy (and glossy!) underthing can take you straight from the studio to the street.
You'll need higher-impact bras if you have a larger chest and need more support, says Carroll. Try on a lot of different brands and see what works. This seafoam-and-yellow sports bra features wider straps for better comfort.
Find out what your comfort level is. Go for a wider band [like the one here], which helps avoid riding up as you’re working out, continues Carroll. You don’t want to be pulling down your sports bra or feel like you're always peeling it off.
This scoop-neck, floral bra is all sorts of flattering and sweet — and, though you can't see it from the front, it features a sexy, cutout back with an adjustable strap closure.
The High-Impact Bra
If you like your workouts super-intense (like bootcamp, CrossFit, or any other cardio-heavy routines), or if you've just got big boobs, the high-impact sports bras were designed specifically for you. Says Carroll, If you have a larger cup size, the higher-impact braswill better support you. And, since a lot of sweat can accumulate under larger breasts, be on the lookout for that wicking fabric in a soft blend of nylon and Spandex for maximum comfort.

If there's a lot of heavy-duty detail going on, be mindful of post-workout care. It’s important to give your sports bras a really great wash after a workout. You want to get that sweat and bacteria out and feel comfortable when you wear it again, says Carroll. I know that a lot of people like to let them air-dry to maintain their shape and color. The layered effect with the zip-up feature makes this bra a particularly exciting one to wear to any workout.
You don't have to resort to a high-impact bra that fully covers you up if you're smaller-chested. Even though this bra is a bit lower-cut, the thick bottom band and padding add support. Plus, the 89% nylon and 11% Spandex blend makes the fit incredibly comfy, like a second skin.
Look for a bra that is fully loaded with features, keeping curves firmly in place, says duRivage-Jacobs. Engineering and design is important to keep these flexible. Search for a style that slips on easily and moves effortlessly with the body, and that is also style-driven and offered in an unfussy, classic silhouette.
