This is why I carry 2 towels at the gym: one to put on the area where I sit for the machines and for my face if I'm sweating. Some people are so disgusting at gyms I don't want their body moisture anywhere near me.

Not I. Going commando is the comfortable way to work out, IMO, especially since I run on the treadmill mostly. Unlike some other people, I go to the gym just to work out. Getting rid of sweat is the reason showers exist.
I shower and change every day at lunch. I have my gym clothes with me, which includes workout panties. Proper workout panties do not give "wedgies". Increasing laundry items should never be on a list of reasons to not wear underwear.
Wow. Just wow.

I agree with you. It's more hygienic and a common curtsey to other who use the equipment too... no one wants someone else's vaginal fluids and crotch and butt sweat on the equipment. if someone's panties is giving them wedgies... they need bigger panties, plain and simple.
Reading stuff like this makes me so glad I don't use a public gym anymore (I have exercise equipment in my house that I use). I was grossed out enough when it was just other people's sweat on the equipment, now that I know it might be other body fluids as well... yuck, yuck, yuck.
So many first world woes are discussed in these forums.
People wear what they want whether others like it or not. If her laundry is flapping in the breeze what difference does it make to any?
If it repulses you do as a conservative and don't look. It's not your life and none of your concern.
If you feel you must, do as a liberal. Stick your nose into another's life, tell her you don't appreciate it and demand she comply to your wishes or you will report her to a gestapo figure in the gym.
I wonder how many have used a community shower as found in a sports locker room. Everyone is naked, lathered up and wet. Some are bending over and showing who knows what to everyone.
Meanwhile...people are protesting in Crimea for basic human rights.

This thread is getting ridiculous. It has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative at all. It has to do with common courtesy. If you were having a wardrobe malfunction or had spinach in your teeth or toilet paper stuck to your shoe, wouldn't you want someone to tell you? Or would you rather walk around blissfully ignorant that you'd just flashed an entire roomful of people? I really don't understand the people insisting that she's wearing see-through garments on purpose and anyone thinking of pointing it out is jealous or a busybody.

I'm 48 years old and have had an active gym membership since I was fifteen. I've also been an aerobics instructor and a personal trainer as well as a STOTT pilates reformer instructor. I've been around a gym.
I have never seen anyone at the gym in see through pants.
It the mall yes, the gym never. Ever.
Blueherons, ah yes, as an instructor you see everyone's FRONT sides, not so much their butts when they're squatting or folding forward. And in Pilates people are usually sitting on their rear ends so again you wouldn't see that side.
Yes that is an advantage of being an instructor. Seeing people's faces instead of their butts

Hopefully you don't sit anywhere while you are there. Really..this is disgusting and very unhygienic. Showers exist to get us clean. Absorbing sweat and odors is what underwear is for. Thank goodness are don't go to MY gym!
