Hi, your blog is really helpful! I have a kind of strange question, but should female rowers wear anything under their uni/trou? Thank you so much!
It’s definitely a personal preference. I know some women that do just because a) hygiene and b) they find it to be more comfortable but I also know some that don’t because they think it’s uncomfortable and/or awkward to be walking around with very obvious VPL. Under Armour, C9 at Target, etc. sell great athletic underwear (or at the very least have solid seamless options) if you want to wear something but don’t want it to be super obvious. Don’t forget Amazon too – you can find plenty of options on there for pretty solid prices. Thongs are definitely the way to go because then you don’t have to worry about everything getting all bunched up (hence the uncomfortable-ness) but you should go with whatever’s most comfortable for you.
I’m a coxswain but have to wear my racing uni for, well, races: I go with thongs or full coverage brief/hipster type underwear (the seamless kind), but never the bikini kind. A warning though–I until recently thought the black JL trou/uni bottoms were thick enough to conceal underwear patterns as long as they weren’t neon panties. Stroke seat informed me recently with the right sunlight (+me bending over to dig through my backpack) my cheetah print hipster panties were…well, noticeable. yay………
