Leggings are the best. They feel like a second skin and move in perfect sync with your body. They have an amazing ability to take comfort into another realm.
Do you know what doesn’t take comfort into another realm? Ill-fitting underwear under your leggings. The qualities that make leggings great also tends to make them a bad match with traditional underwear. Leggings feel amazing because they are form-fitting, light and stretchy. This doesn’t always work well with underwear that can have thick seams and a shape of its own. Sometimes these seams will not go quietly unseen beneath your leggings.

Beware Quad-Butt
If you wear standard women’s briefs under your leggings (which are my personal favourite) you will get what is lovingly referred to as “quad butt.” This is where the seams of the underwear that sit across your butt cheek to separates it into two, giving you four cheeks total, or quad butt. This is further highlighted by the form-fitting nature of the leggings. Not a good look guys.
I offer you a simple solution: go commando! Ditch the undies altogether and wear nothing under your leggings. I find going commando extremely comfortable, and you are guaranteed a perfectly seamless silhouette this way. Disclaimer: definitely make sure your leggings are squat-proof if you do go no underwear.
Not everyone is comfortable going commando though, and it wouldn’t be very lame if my solution to “what underwear should I wear with leggings?” was “don’t wear underwear.” I’m going to assume that you’re here because you want to wear underwear with your leggings, and you need a solution that is comfortable, invisible, and won’t give you quad-butt or any other seam induced butt deformity.
In that case, let’s dive right into the top undies that will look great (aka invisible) under your leggings:
Top Seamless Thongs To Wear Under Leggings
I personally hate thong underwear. I don’t understand why it’s even a thing, but a lot of women find them very comfortable and prefer them over other styles. If you’re in the pro-thong camp, I have good news for you. They are the best type of underwear to wear under leggings. Go for a seamless thong and there will be a 0% chance of visible panty lines and a 100% chance your butt will look amazing. Here are my top picks for seamless thongs to wear under leggings.
