As runners, there are many topics we freely discuss with each other. Even if it means over sharing or bringing up things that other people would find embarrassing to share with total strangers. One topic that I have heard many bring up is...undies or no undies while running!?
I happen to be Team Undies, and I gladly jumped at the chance to test out Runderwear!
When it comes to wearing bottoms while running, there is always a concern about chaffing. Yes y'all, I am very worried for my lady bits and want to ensure that everything "down there" is protected and stays chafe free. So with that concern comes choosing the right undies.
Product
(from Runderwear website)
The Runderwear Women’s Hipster is designed to ensure you can enjoy all your running adventures chafe-free, in ultimate comfort. Perfect for women seeking performance underwear that sits nearer the hip and lower than the Runderwear Women’s Brief. Features include:
Ultimate Comfort - ergonomically designed to move with your body for ultimate comfort. Created using an incredibly soft fabric, which is label-free to prevent irritation, rubbing and chafing mile-after-mile.
Seamless Design - 360 degree seamless design resulting in no side seams for ultimate comfort and chafe-free running. Flatlock fine-stitching means that edges are flat, eliminating irritation and rubbing and minimising VPL.
Moisture-Wicking Fabric - the technical fabric is lightweight, label-free and designed to wick sweat away from your skin, helping reduce any irritation and ensuring you can run chafe-free.
Breathable, Dry and Chafe-Free - uses high performance moisture-wicking fabric with mesh panels containing micro perforations to increase breathability and sweat removal from your skin, reducing friction keeping you dry and chafe-free.
Lightweight Durability – lightweight technical fabric which is highly-durable, washes-well and dries quickly.
Performance
They fit well and fit true to size. And not only was the material super soft, they were very comfortable, and honestly felt like you weren't wearing anything. The fabric absolutely lives up to the description; lightweight and breathable! Because there are no seams, no tags and the fabric moves/stretches with your body there is no chaffing or irritation.
I was able to run, work on PT exercises, cross-train and stretch without any restriction, bunching up or riding up in places they shouldn't. I will for sure be picking up another pair or two of these hipsters!
If you would like a pair of your own, whether it be ladies briefs or thongs, or the mens boxers or briefs... Head over to https://www.runderwear.com/ and use code: BIBRAVE20 for 20% off! (and hurry, offer ends 05/31)
