Do you have any fav shorts that don’t show sweat in all the wrong places? I have a pair of black Nike Dri-fit that I thought would be perfect and I noticed half way through class un-laydlike sweat stains were very visible. It was suggested that I try shorts without cotton (these have cotton) -I have a pair but they seem too thin. Any suggestions?

Will dri-fit undies help?

I figure you’re going to sweat through anything you wear so why bother adding layers of underwear? I have a pair of Nike dri-fit capris in navy blue that don’t show sweat much, and some black shorts that aren’t too bad. But at this point I’ve really just given up worrying about it. I bought a pair of tan/sand colored shorts as well and yeah, you can see sweat more, but by halfway through class they are completely wet with sweat anyway.

The way I see it – I’ve never noticed sweat patterns on anyone else’s clothing because I’m focused on myself in class. So I’m just not going to worry about it. Likewise, I’ve also started wearing bra tops despite having a less than perfect midsection. Why? When I can see my abs, it reminds me to keep my core activated. And while I don’t normally subject people to looking at my belly, I figure that they are probably (like me) focused on their own practice and not worried about what I’m wearing. 🙂

Good for you! You make some good points! I am not there yet however -esp as I may stop on the way home for a quick errand -I know I could change/ add a layer -but I wish my pants would just not show that nice sweat and if I’m going to buy a new pair anyway -I would love it if it worked for me this way too.

Also, I don’t seem to end up with a uniform sweat (probably because I wear these to one of my cooler classes (90*) because I haven’t yet gotten to where I can wear capris in my hotter class. Currently I wear shorter bike shorts (they are old and not very ‘technical’ and soccer or tennis shorts underneath.
