You surely don’t want to pay high prices for your Lululemon leggings and then find yourself with stained leggings. You can avoid such inconveniences by wearing underwear. In addition, you will agree that removing stains from underwear is less stressful than removing stains in leggings.
Underwear Gives You Extra Comfort
Assuming you wear your leggings for working-out sessions, the leggings will be sweaty. Even if Lululemon leggings are made from revolutionary fabrics that are moisture-wicking and have high breathability, we all know that as long as you work out, you will sweat.
Having underwear with moisture-wicking abilities will ensure that any sweat produced will be wicked by the underwear and make you comfortable during the workout sessions. Lululemon and other underwear manufacturers have developed innovative underwear that is lightweight and great for moisture-wicking. You can wear such undies with your leggings and have that extra comfort.
Underwear Covers You If Leggings Were To Tear
When wearing the leggings, particularly when working out, there is a chance that the leggings could tear as you rigorously stretch, especially if the leggings you wore are more petite. Also, if the leggings were to tear in the crotch area when you were working out with others, it could be embarrassing if you didn’t wear leggings with underwear.
Even if it can be argued that Lululemon leggings are durable and will not easily tear, anything can happen. Rather than be ashamed, I would prefer to wear underwear with leggings. Moreover, holes in leggings are a common problem with Lululemon leggings.

Besides, during periods, you are not sure what will happen next since anything can happen. By wearing underwear with your leggings, you are assured you have an extra layer of protection on you.
Why Lululemon Leggings Should Be Worn Without Underwear
There are various reasons why leggings should be worn commando. Let’s review some of these reasons.
Gives You More Breathability Down There
Many people prefer to wear leggings with no underwear since air can circulate well in the crotch area. Undoubtedly, wearing underwear involves adding a layer to the private part, which increases heat down there.
Thus, by wearing leggings with no underwear, there is more air circulation in the private part area, minimizing sweating.
Protects Male Sperm
According to an article by Wong featured in New Scientist, tight underwear can lower sperm count among men.
When men wear tight underwear, everything is pushed to the abdominal section. This increases the heat around the testicles and negatively impacts sperms that are heat sensitive.
By wearing Lululemon leggings without underwear, the stretchable fibers used to make the leggings ensure that the private parts are comfortably held without being pushed inside. Likewise, sufficient air circulation in the crotch area ensures that the private parts are well aired.
Leggings Have Linings That Act As Underwear
Some leggings by Lululemon have lining around the crotch area. Thus, there is no need to wear underwear when wearing such leggings since the lining is supposed to act as underwear.
Considering that Lululemon leggings have linings, it is not a must for you to wear the leggings with underwear. However, if you are comfortable wearing the leggings without underwear, you should not wear the leggings with the underwear.
Averts Wedgies
It can’t be pleasant if you have to stop your workout session to adjust your underwear. It can even be worse to pull a wedgie among people. However, you can avoid all that by going commando.
Instead of interrupting your workout sessions to do a wedgie, you are better off wearing leggings without underwear.
Avoid The Visible Panty Line Issue
No one likes visible panty lines (VPL). It can be embarrassing when everyone points at you as you walk past them due to a visible panty line.
One of the approaches to addressing visible panty lines in leggings involves wearing a long top that covers the pant line. However, that can be inconvenient on a sunny day since the long top will add heat to your body.
The best solution is to wear leggings with no underwear to avoid the issue. Indeed, even if some might advise wearing a thong or very thin lingerie, underwear won’t be comfortable for you as you work out in your leggings.
Enhances Your Flexibility
When working out, you need to be free to do any exercise that you need to do and stretch muscles that you want to stretch.
When you wear underwear with leggings, the underwear will to a certain extent, limit your flexibility. Therefore, you should wear your leggings without underwear for maximum flexibility, key to your workout sessions.
