What you wear can massively impact how you perform – but it’s not necessarily the external kit that matters as much as the under armour you’ve got on. Whether you’re strength training, running or doing yoga, here are the best pieces of underwear for working out in.
Most people have a pair of leggings they swear by or a sports bra that they can’t live without, but not enough of us think twice about the underwear we work out in. Choosing the right underwear is not only crucial to our comfort while exercising but it could also prevent you from developing thrush.
“Heat and moisture can get trapped down there if you work out for a long period of time or don’t change your clothes after working out – creating a perfect environment for yeast infections to grow and thrive,” explains Dr Sarah Welsh, gynaecology doctor and co-founder of the sexual wellness brand, HANX. People who exercise, she adds, are more likely to suffer from vaginal thrush.
