| but you guys are the only ones I can ask. Does anyone wear their Yoga pants minus underwear? *pauses to allow for laughter*  Okay, seriously. When I work out or practice at home, no undies are involved. I *do* wear them to class basically because I don't want to offend anyone. I don't know WHY that would offend someone or even if a person can look and me and tell I'm minus the underwear, but I'm modest about it anyway. Why don't I like to wear them you ask? I just like not having to worry about them shifting or showing. I swear some other women are w/o/u, but there's no way I'm going to ask.  This concludes my Dippy Question of the Week. As long as there's an answer somewhere in this thread, feel free to openly mock me.  | |||

| Seriously (well almost), do what you want. As long as your stuff ain't showing, it's cool. If you are distracting yourself, your teacher or other students, then put on some undies. Otherwise, be free. One thing: fabric gets stretched thin when doing certain poses. You might want to get a trusted friend and perform some padangusthasanas for them and some other "exposing" poses and ask them if they can see anything that you don't want seen. As a teacher, I am privy to lots of accidentally exposed flesh and it can get rather distracting (in both a good AND a bad way). /please send pics. Edited by YogaGuy 2005-03-30 7:55 PM | |||

kulkarnn - 2005-03-30 8:00 PM Dear Kabu: If you are a male, you must NOT dangle your organ while doing Yoga Exercise. Neel Kulkarni www.authenticyoga.org Can you please translate this into sanskrit for me? I would love to chant that in the beginning of class. No dangulum organum yoga asanam... OM! | |||

| Would you believe I've been wanting to ask this question for weeks now? I didn't want to ask when I first joined for fear you guys would think I was nuts. Thank you for the advice. If I get the nerve to go commando, I shall test my clothes out ahead of time so I don't horrify anyone in class. Fortunately, I cover up pretty well compared to other ladies in the class. Nothing terrible should happen unless my drawstring breaks.  Oh Lord, I hadn't thought about THAT until now. Perhaps commando isn't such a great idea. Heeey, I *could* wear lycra shorts under my Yoga pants. I used to do that under my school uniform. Hmm... | |||

Expert Yogi Posts: 5098   Location: Somewhere in the Mountains of Western NC | Hey Kabu (Banana Sponge Bob), No matter what gender you are....if you don't wear underwear, whatever you do, DON'T wear WHITE!! It shows everything!! What I hate is one time I wore light blue bike shorts to Bikram class. When I sweated, I looked like I peepeed in my shorts - YUK!! It bothered me all through class, when I got to floor postures I finally said Screw it, I don't care. But standing was a big challenge. So, needless to say, I DO NOT wear underwear, and I wear dark colors when I'm in public. At home, I wear my Bikini and my tits hang out and I don't care  | ||

Expert Yogi Posts: 8442  | This is an awesome thread! Tooooo funny, but also a good question. Dave Scott of Ironman fame used to say he hated helmets, socks and underwear and with the mileage he put on riding a bike and running, I'm sure he knew what he was talking about. I actually saw an older woman (over 60 for sure) changing the other day and she definitely did not have undies on. That was a surprise. Most people I know do wear them, though. One memorable night I was partnered with a woman to do the hip pull adjustment in down dog. Even though her black thong matched her black tights, that fabric thinning effect of the stretch revealed waaaay more than I wanted to see! and don't even ask about the teeny boppers in their low slung yoga pants with lacy thongs....  Bad enough that I have to see all their tattoos but being able to read the tag on their underwear just puts me off. I'm not a prude, just in favour of keeping a little mystery to tantalize with at an appropriate moment. Seriously Kabu (it was Kabu that asked, right?) I have discovered the BEST underwear for yoga. I think I can post this here because yoga.com doesn't sell undies, right? Go to www.staples.com (no, it is not an office warehouse store...) and check out their pure silk undies. They are thin, light and natural fibre so they breathe and don't show hardly at all under tights. I have invested in a slew of colours and now also have camisoles that tuck into my tights so when I do urdhva hastasana and my t-shirt goes up, I'm still covered up. My philosophy is that they are far too expensive for underwear but a great deal for a treat for myself. Plus they pay all the postage so you don't have shipping charges to deal with and they ship so fast it is unbelievable. I gave some to my MIL and she told me they are the best gift she has ever received - EVER! And there is nothing quite like walking around all day in "double martini olive" or "roxanne ruby red" undergarments to make a gal feel special and just a little sexier than usual OK - enough infomercial. I'll stop now. | ||

Can you please translate this into sanskrit for me? I would love to chant that in the beginning of class. No dangulum organum yoga asanam... OM!ROFLMAO!!!!!!!! Ahem... but back to the topic at hand - I practice at home commando, but if I were to go to a class I think I'd definitely wear undies. Either a low-riding thong (that won't peek out the top of your pants but provides good coverage in other places...) or the "boy short" undies in cotton - they tend to stay put. Good luck with that!

| The mind boggles Mind you, I do think in cartoon *gggg* Bruce - 2005-03-31 11:59 AM Love my hugger mugger unisex shorts--seems to do the trick with no underwear needed. During my first few months of Bikram, I experimented with many combinations--thought bike shorts would be perfect with a thong under until I discovered there's a fron and a back to those things. | |||

| I can't believe we got a new chant out of this. Thank you for all the replies. All suggestions are noted and I'm officially cured of the desire to go commando in class. I cover up well ~ you pretty much just see my arms and ankles. I wear drawstring cotton Yoga pants, the most revealing being my capris. I think I'll be adding lycra shorts to the outfit so no one has to see my Hanes peeking out over the top (my pants tend to ride low). Cyndi, I hadn't thought about dark vs light colors. You brought up a good point. Tourist, women wear thongs to class?! I'll wear one now and then, but that's only if I'm going out somewhere special and the pants I'm wearing are susceptible to Visible Panty Lines. I just can't imagine thongs being comfortable in practice. (Echo, how does that work out?) I'll check out the undies you mentioned too. The idea of dangling organs never occurred to me, probably because I am without such an organ. I have no doubt though this conversation will creep up on me in class at a most inopportune moment.

| That settles it. Spandex shorts under my drawstring pants. No crotch shots, no exposing gaps...got it. Thanks Dee! While I figured most teachers are pretty comfy with basic human anatomy, I just don't want to offend anyone or make anyone feel uncomfortable. Plus, I'm very modest. I'd die if I looked down and saw a perfect outline of my crotch through a thin layer of cotton. Heck, I don't even show my midsection. Partnering is also something I didn't think of until reading these replies. I definitely don't want a classmate or teacher feeling funny (or feeling ANYTHING... ...HA) in a hands-on adjustment. I'm glad I finally got up the nerve to ask my goofy question. You all saved me a few embarrassing moments. | |||
