Leggings? Check. Sports bra? Check. Underwear? It's probably the last item you think about when packing your gym bag, but it's one that can have a huge impact on your workouts. If you've ever experienced chafing, visible seams, or an improper fit that rides down during Downward Dog, you know how annoying it can be to wear the wrong pair. Luckily, some of our favorite brands offer underwear designed specifically for performance. That's right — they're just as moisture-wicking and breathable as your favorite leggings are.
