I’ve recently re-joined the gym. I’ve been trying thongs and jocks under my shorts. What do you prefer to wear when working out, cardio or weights. Any specific brands you prefer?

Hi, Dave! Glad to hear you are able to work out again! I hope you are feeling much better. I wear a tank top and drawstring workout pants, with my Jockey string-bikini underwear underneath. Feels great,with nothing to get in the way.

My favorite thing to wear under my shorts at the gym is easily a Cocksox swim thong. There is a little room up front to keep your equipment positioned, but firmly held in place. I think the thong is much more comfortable than a jock, especially when working out and sweating. If I don't have a thong to wear under shorts, I'll often wear a wrestling singlet. I've wanted to try bicycling bib-shorts, but I have not had the opportunity yet. I don't wear anything under my singlet or bike shorts and I definitely don't wear additional shorts over them. I'll often wear only a wrestling singlet, t-shirt, socks, and shoes. Occasionally I'll substitute bike shorts or tights for the wrestling singlet.

I mostly wear jocks when working out though I starting to get more workout thongs. The thongs I have been wearing are from agacio, joe snyder and clever.

This may not be terribly helpful, but could be entertaining -- I am fortunate to have exercise equipment at home (stationary bike, treadmill, weight set, other stuff) so I just work out at home while just wearing my underwear (generally what I had been wearing to bed) and a T-shirt, as I work out early in the morning before I get ready. When I travel, I always have to make a special note to bring a pair of shorts to wear when I use the hotel's fitness room....so, in those instances, I'm just wearing jogging shorts or whatever over the (usually string) bikini I had been wearing in bed.

I wear tights/leggings at the gym and usually don't wear anything under them...but if I do, it's a thong. I like the stay-in-place coverage and freedom of movement that tights/leggings privide (much like bike shorts or swim jammers do), and I'm not as much a fan of jockstraps for the gym as I am thongs. I prefer Joe Snyder thongs, but also wear Andrew Christian, Calvin Klein, Dietz and Daddy thongs under my tights.

I workout at home so I have just a gstring on, nothing else. It's very liberating.
