Exercise Gear Gift Card Giveaway
But while I’m busy – I have a great giveaway for you…
Apparently someone at Target heard my running capris broke and contacted me to get some running clothes from their line. As you may know from my Summer Running Gear post – I’m already a fan of the C9 for Champion gear so I was all about it.
Target has gotten the hint that women want cute exercise gear so they have a lot of options that are inspired by some of the fancier brands out there.
See, running skirt with ruching up the sides?
They didn’t have the longish tight shorts I loved in the past, but they did have these mesh shorts with a longer pair under. Fight the chub rub!
I’m pulling them up a bit here, the shorts on the bottom don’t show this much.
Awkward dressing room photo. Check.
Vegas doesn’t think I need anymore sports bras though… Luckily, he is not the boss of me and I do what I want!
They even make special underwear to workout in now! Hmmm. I don’t wear chonies under my workout gear, do you? All my running shorts have something built in and/or would be weird to wear with chonies.
Would these be considered a marathong?
You can win a $50.00 Gift Card from Target and buy a marathong of your own! I’m testing out using Rafflecopter for this giveaway, so please be patient as I figure out if I love it or not.
Gift cards are always a great option for giveaways as they provide the recipient with the flexibility to choose what they want. But for a more personal touch, customized gifts like anniversary shirts can be a great option. Whether it’s a special anniversary or just a way to celebrate the love between two people, personalized shirts with the couple’s names or anniversary dates can be a unique and thoughtful gift. With so many customization options available online, it’s easy to create a one-of-a-kind gift that will be cherished for years to come.
By the way… I am catching an early flight out of LAX this morning so the car is picking me up at 3:45am. Ouch.
I am traveling to NYC as part of my friendship with Sabra – the #1 hummus company in the world! <- That is a fact I verified after years of hummus eating.
Remember last year I went to their plant and saw how they made the hummus? That was awesome.
This year we’re doing something different and I’ll fill you in on all the fun as we go along! Follow me on Instagram and Twitter to see all my antics and eats.
Alicia @ Alicia Runs says
Never! 🙂
I love Target C9 gear!
Charliss says
I sure do! I like to be able to wear my shorts a second time if I don’t get too sweaty.
Danielle says
Always!! Usually I remember to put on a more boring thong (cotton-tastic) but sometimes I forget and go in my lacies. Oops!
Taylor says
I love the hoodie 🙂
Jenn says
Love shopping at Target! They offer great affordable workout clothes.
Sam says
I have been wanting to try those activewear chonies from target!
Eileen says
I’ve had great experiences with C9 gear
Mackenzie says
I’ve gotten into the spandex under shorts combos too! Love them!
Tiffany Dutson says
I do with capri’s!
Meg says
No I don’t… I’m really surprised by how many of you do! Probably two-thirds of the time I run, I wear nike tempos with built in undies, so there’s no need. The other one-third of the time I wear tight compression capri leggings and if I wear undies in those, it’s a bunchy/panty-line mess.
I DO, on the other hand, wear undies for yoga class. There are too many see-through yoga leggings out there for me to chance a down dog without something underneath!
Jordan says
I would love to try their new line
Megan C says
I never do.
Shannon R says
It depends, with capris and thick yoga pants, no. Everything else, yes!
Stacey Weaver says
None! My husband thinks its wierd, but its so much more comfortable.
Dione says
I wear chonies all the time! 🙂
Amy Doty says
Depends on the time of the month.
Rahel says
Would love some new workout clothes and I love Target!
rebecca says
i love the lululemon seamless thongs for working out, you don’t even feel them!
melissa says
yes, unless they are built in and it’s a distance race!
Gabrielle says
Commando! Definitely while running…..isn’t that what the built-ins are for? I cannot imagine a thong-chafing…….!
Kayla says
Love Target’s activewear! It’s so cute and affordable!
Jen @ Such a Funny Fat says
I haven’t tried the C9 line but maybe I need to.
Katie P. says
Definitely!
Heidi says
No way!
Runningwithscissors says
I love C9 workour gear!!!!!
ashley says
Always!!
amanda mae says
The idea of sweating into my running pants/skirt/shorts without some under-roos totally grosses me out – undies are a must!
Colleen says
Man 1000 entires is a lot to scroll through! And no undies under capris! I just got some new sports bras at target!
Laurel says
Yes, absolutely.
Jennifer says
With shorts nope, with capris sometimes
Charlotte says
I am very comforted to see that someone else shares my love of shopping for athletic/running clothes at Target. I think the shorts and tops are great ways to create a running wardrobe!
Leslie Teardo says
Honestly, it depends on the short in question- cycling short? No way. Running? Well, let’s put it this way… Theyre a little tight right now, so they’re stretching, so yeah…. Undies all the way.
Mari says
Yes, I always wear them.
Stephanie Ann says
yes most of the time I do!!
Laura says
always =)
Rebecca Best says
I wear underwear with all of my nike tempos even though they have built in underwear so not really sure why I do this!
Meghan B. says
None for me! 🙂
Cindy says
C9 has such cute outfits. I would love to get one. 🙂
Michele says
I LOVE target’s active wear! I picked up a great hat for running with a sweat band built inside of it. Usually I look like a waterfall, but during my last race my face stayed dry! Great products. I’m looking forward to stocking up on winter gear soon since I’m a new runner and need a lot of basics!
Maita says
Usually!
Katie says
I always wear ’em!
ROB says
of course
Kimberly says
Sometimes… depends on the bottoms!
Kimberly says
I want to win! I don’t wear anything under workout gear if it’s already built in, that would be like wearing two pairs of underwear!
marie says
I want to win this!!!
Kara D says
With shorts, no, but with pants – yes!
Natasha Emily says
Holy heck! Almost 1100 comments? All I wanted to say is that I bought those mesh/spandex like shorts in grey/melon and I LOVE them. I’ve been considering buying those green ones so I have some variety.
Katherine says
Target sports bras are the best! It’s not possible to own too many sports bras….
Laura @ RunningJunkie123 says
No way! They are too uncomfortable. Au Natural:-)
FamilyFitnessandFooderdy says
I be runnin’ commando cause that’s what the cool kids do.
Jen says
I always wear underwear – thongs that stay in place – unless there is built-in underwear in my running shorts.
Katie says
I LOVE all types of workout gear and would live in it if I didn’t have to go to work !!!!! 🙂
Val says
Always!
Ashley says
Yes, I definitely wear underwear when I am working out. I don’t think I could go without it. Even with tight shorts or capris there is at least a thong under there lol.
Allison says
I hate the feeling of sweaty underwear so i just run in capris usually
Laura says
I wear them with spandex pants and shorts, but not with shorts that have them built in!
Ginger M says
I always wear underwear – I just don’t know that I could go without!
Gabby says
Just bought a c9 sports bra, reversible! ;). And I always wear undies!
Maria says
I do, but now that I am getting more “high tech” with stuff built in I may try it without.
Cynthia says
What’s a choni?
Meredith says
I do but have considered not to!!
Megan D says
Depends. If I am wearing capris, then yes. But my running skirts & shorts have built ins, so no. Or if I wear my compression shorts, then no.
I loooove Target and have always wanted to try the C9 brand. I don’t often get new exercise clothes because they are so dang expensive! I am just going to sweat in it, you know? Thanks for the awesome giveaway 🙂
Meghan F. says
Yes!
Theresa N says
I do.
Heather says
I generally do, but it depends on what I’m doing!
(And I *just* bought one of the running skirts from Target…SO CUTE)
Angela @ Honey, I Shrunk the Mom says
‘marathong’. bwaahhaaaa 😉
Nicole says
The funny thing is that I don’t wear any under pajamas or when I’m lounging around but always do when I work out.
hayley says
i always do 🙂
Kelly says
No i don’t! Never with workout clothes. Isn’t that why they have the built in undies?
Ali says
I would love to win this! And I kinda want to try out that “marathong”…
Laurie S says
Yes I always wear underwear 🙂
Dana says
I usually wear it under my running clothes!
Nikki @ run+breathe+be says
I’m a fan of the C9 line! I think they are actually pretty comparable to some of the more expensive brands. The only time I don’t wear runderwear is with shorts that have a liner. The BEST runderwear I have found is actually the Gilligan & O’Malley line from Target – the seamless panties with silicone edging. They seriously don’t move! They also don’t have them available anymore…..
Chelsea K. says
Yes I do but only because I never realized that’s what the built in underwear are for until a month ago…so I might need to try going commando.
Elizabeth says
I love target. To answer your question I always have undies on.
Keri says
Nope! Never 🙂
Presh says
Not if I can help it. I refuse to buy shorts now a days that don’t come with the built in undies!!
jennifer warren says
I usually wear undies when working out… I only have a few shorts with them built in.
Joanna says
I for sure do!!
Sarah C. says
Nope. But I do love Champion stuff from Target, so I’d be willing to check out these unders for regular wear!
Sandy says
I totally wear them. Can’t handle feeling naked.
Sophie @ life's philosophie says
I love Target! And there is one right by my apartment!! I’ve heard amazing things about their exercise clothes. I wear underwear when working out… I feel like thongs would be so uncomfortable!
Shelly says
Unless my shorts already have built-in underwear, I always wear a thong when I workout. I can’t stand the feeling of regular underwear crawling up my cheeks!
Hillary says
I typically wear underwear since I like to reuse my shorts.
Megan says
I typically do – unless they’re tighter built-in shorts – then no way! That’s enough layers!
Amy says
I do unless i’m wearing running shorts with built in liners. Thanks for the giveaway!
Kerry says
I do! I love Sabra Hummus! Nice 26 shirt!!
Stacie says
I do wear underwear, but in college when we would have field hockey or lax games i’d freeball. 🙂

I’m so glad you got some new gear, new running gear is the best.

Erin Nicole says
i always do…i stick to thongs though!

Jennifer L says
I want to try a marathong!
Sara says
I wear underwear when I work out! I think I am the weird one for doing that though! I LOVE the target collection! I tried on those shorts as well, and definitely will be buying a pair if I win this $50 dollar gift card! 🙂
Thank you!
Sara
Lauren says
yes i do! i love c9.
Rebecca Brown says
I’m so curious about that running skirt. Wouldn’t it creep up during a run?
Megan says
all my shorts have something built in! My leggings typically dont so I am 50/50 on the panties there!
Kristen says
Absolutely I do.
Rachel says
I haven’t bought running clothes in ages because I have been overseas for the past year. Now I’m finally back and can’t wait to go on a spree!
Mia says
It depends. I don’t have a lot of workout bottoms, so they get worn on repeat, so yes cause otherwise, gross. But also i don’t have a lot of underwear, so, it a toss up…
melly says
Definitely yes to underwear!
Jill says
I love Target and always look at their active wear but have never bought anything…….yet!
Kristen says
I don’t have any underwear built in, so I totally have to wear some. I just haven’t got the balls (ha, ha) to go commando.
Lora says
Yes I wear underwear….but if going commando could get me a PR I would go without 🙂
ali says
sometimes yes… sometimes no…. depends on the bottoms and the temperature…. 30 degree days call for a little somethin extra 🙂
Jamie P. says
I always run with my skivvies
Hannah says
I don’t! I’m the same way. If it’s built in, I think it’d be weird. It’s like double underwear.
Rachel says
I never wear undies with my workout leggings/shorts. That’s what the liner’s for, right?!
meghan reynolds says
with capri/crops I do. not with my shorts b/c they have built in underwear.
Cassandra says
I have to wear undies! I feel naked without them even though most running shorts have the runderwear in them….weird when I think about it but I just can’t help it 🙂
gaby ramos says
I wear undies under my excercise pants/capris
Erica Sch says
Who would not want cute workout clothes? New workout clothes always inspire me to go out there for a run on those days when you really do not want to.
Sarah Starr says
I never do!
Amee says
Yep, I do. I’ve tried without and I’m willing to give it more thought.

Laura says
I LOVE Target workout gear; unfortunately, the closest store is an hour away. Would love to update my running stuff!
Suegene Wagner says
Sometimes yes and sometimes no to the chonies. Depends on the weather – rainy days for sure no, it is just one more layer to soak up the water!
Tiffany says
I don’t wear undies when I run. Or when I work out in general. I have a big butt, and there’s something about constantly picking wedgies that isn’t very appealing to me.
Lauren says
No undies for me!
Erica D says
Depends on the gear. If the bottoms have built in liners then no, but with my capris and biking shorts that dont, yes.
Rachel says

Emily says
For sure yes. Those liner things were always a mystery actually. Now I know why tho.

Lindsay says
Underwear? YES. It’s a must.
Frannie says
No underroos for me.
Ashley says
No!
Angelica says

I don’t wear chonis under my workout gear either. I sweat waaaay too much and it would just be another artifact of clothing that is soaked in my sweat and extra stinky.
Tracy says
c9 sportsbras= the best.
Kristy says
I do wear undies with most of my running gear, but if they have built ins…then no. Love me some Target. I live in Singapore and I kid you not, first stop for shopping when we get back to the States is Target!
Morgan says
If I wear compression shorts I don’t, otherwise I definitely do!

I loooove target for everything!

Leah says
The Champion chonies are worth every dollar!

Jamie says
Love Target!
Jamie says
Oh, and sometimes I wear undies and sometimes I don’t…matters the fit of the athletic wear.
quix says
Sometimes – not with tri shorts or some shorts, but definitely with most of my capris or tights. I may have to check out that wicking underwear (but not the marathong – boy shorts for life)

Always!!!

woohoo love Target workout gear!!! no “chonies” for me while running 🙂 but maybe I should try the “marathong!” (autocorrect on my mac wanted that to say “marathon” so badly!!!!!)
Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says
Love that hoodie! I just picked up a cute top for yoga from Target (similar to the lululemon No Limits Tank) that I’m loving. They’ve been coming out with some really cute designs lately. I think I’d be way too scared to try a marathong–too many opportunities for chafing!
Cassie says
Most of the time I do. Would love to try the new ones at Target!
Missy says
If they have built in undewear I don’t, but for everything else I usually do. I would love to try the ‘marathongs’ to see if there is a difference! lol

Yo hago excercicios sin chonies!!!! It’s the only way to work out 😉 But I do love he C9 brand of work out gear. I just bought a ton of their new tops, and their running skirt. IN LOVE!

Asiana says
Yes yes!
Lisa R says
Cool giveaway!! I found your blog through HungryRunnerGirl. I’m excited I’ve found another great blog!
AmyMacHac says
I am by no means scandalous, scantily clad or what have you, but I never ever wear underwear with workout clothes. Skirts and shorts have the built ins, and it’s sooo not necessary with capris/leggings/pants.
Christine says
Ugh I need some compression shorts SO BAD! The chub rub is driving me crazy. I even bought Desitin and I don’t have children!
AmyMacHac says
Get yourself some Body Glide, girl! You’ll be sold for life.
Jess says
Unless I have built in with shorts
Jenn B says
No chonies needed with my running capris. They would just be one other thing to mess with on the go.
Julie R. says
Always!
Denise @ Creative Kitchen says
Not when they have a built in liner.
Christine says
Yes! What women do for vanity…
Carolyn says
Always . . . more so out of being self-conscious than anything.
Danielle @daniruns says
No chonies for me either. I think it is way more comfortable especially during long runs.
Sheila says
I do!
Caroline says
LOL at the marathong. Yes- always wear it when working out, except during triathlons because who wants to bike or run in underwear after they swam in a lake wearing them. YUCK.
Liz says
Commando for me
Cait @ Dare to Move. says
Most definitely!
And I have been wanting to try the ones that they are selling now at Target, too 🙂
kristen says
yes – I need my chonies.
Sarah says
I do!
Sam Grenus says
No underwear for me. Either spandex or something that’s built in. I grew up a volleyball player so I lived in spandex for years. Still love them 🙂
Caitlin says
Never do.
Erin says
I love target clothes!! I will have to check out the running skirts. So cute!!
Kelly O-ski says
I never wear undies. Is that an overshare?

No!
Maria says
I’ve never even thought about not wearing underwear… so YES I always wear undies.
Shannon says
Love me some hummus! Just saw this recipe for a hummus that taste like an everything bagel…so going to make this and give it a try. Have a fun time with Sabra. Next to homemade hummus Sabra is my fav actually their Red Pepper Hummus.
Erin T says
Of course I do! 🙂
Sam says
Yeah, this 20 week pregnant mother runner wears undies! And I can surely use some new c9 wear for this expanding belly! I hope to keep running through the whole pregnancy!
Theresa J says
I wear underwear under my gear unless i am wearing my zaggora pants
Clarice says
Yes! Always.
Jessica Smyth says
No ma’am! Commando and proud. LOL!
Beth K. says
I just use the built in undies; I’d think it would feel too bulky/weird to wear extra ones!
kelsea says
I don’t – hate it! but i don’t wear shorts or else I probably would.
Jill says
Yes I do 🙂 Thank you.
Stephanie says
I entered – yes I wear undies with every run!
Hillary says
Marathong…ha!
No way do I wear undies when I run/workout. Talk about some serious chafing – sheesh!
Karen @ Runner Girl Eats says
I love me some Target gear!
Monica says
Sometimes, depends if the stuff has underwear in it already or not. But when I do wear them, I like the “full support” ones if you know what I mean.
Stacy says

I love C9 gear, its affordable and cute. I bought a pair of C9 winter running tights and there better than some of my more expensive ones. and theyve held up great.
I dont wear anything under my workout clothes because i prefer the ones with undies in them. i’m always looking for some though that wont ride up or cause the dreaded chaffing. no wardrobe malfunctions!
Kimberly says
Yes, I do! I have some Moving Comfort undies that are pretty good!
mary @ minutes per mile says
yes! you can never be too safe. people poop their pants during marathons you know.
Brooke K. says
As many have already said, I usually wear underwear because I like to get more than one use out of bottoms before I wash them. But races are special and I go commando then 😉
Meg says
I do! (Unless I haven’t done laundry in weeks which def happened in college)
Melissa says
La la love target workout clothes!!!!
Nicole says
I do wear them!
Betty says
Yes! I wear chonies under my gear. I love Target and Champion!
Ashley says
I’m odd and do both — I guess it’s just how I’m feeling that day. Some days are friskier than others I guess? 😉
Lanie says
I wear underwear when I workout!
Sheila says
Wouldn’t a marathong lead to significant chaffing?
erin says
shorts w/the built-ins are the best, otherwise commando it is!
Melissa G. says
I wear underwear while running AND I wanted to note that I too noticed Target was taking visual cues from Lululemon and other fancy schmancy brands.
Tina says
I do unless it is built in.
Sarah says
I never do when there’s something built in!
Jenni says
LOVE Target. The problem is that I can’t get out of there without spending too much money!

Always!! They are a must for me!
Happier Heather says
I LOVE C9 gear!! I was just eyeing up some of their shorter capris last night because I need more color in my running wardrobe!

Yep!
Staci says
Yes! I mostly wear capri pants when I workout so it’s a must. 😉
Jessica B says
I always do, even when it’s built in.

Karla @ Foodologie says

Monica says
I always do. Tried without but it’s too weird!
Ellie says
Yes! I always wear underwear with workout gear 🙂
Georgia @ Trying Something New says
I wear underwear with my workout gear, but ALWAYS have the worst wedgies. Would love to try out the “marathong,” or at least a pair of shorts with a built in coochie holder. (That’s the official term, right?)
amber says
Yes!
Cassie B says
Yes and No. Honestly depends if I can find them when I’m getting dressed.
Hayley Hansen says
It depends (no pun intended) on whether or not the shorts have some built in already. If yes, then I usually just rely on those!
Rachel says
I love Target and all of the C9 stuff is great!
Cearley Fontenot says
Nope not me
Cassie J. says
Yes yes yes!
Valerie says
Definitely
Vernie says
Yes, I do. But I hate the fact that they’re pretty much soaked by time I get done.
Don’t know that I could be comfortable in the “marathong”, lol.
Sarah M. says
Your Target looks way better than my Target, but now I’m going to have to go check it out and see if they have all that cool stuff!
Andrea says
I always wear underwear; have never even thought about not … but maybe I should? Hmmm … you’ve given me something new to ponder.

Always wear undies!

I never do because my pants and shorts have liners. My only exception is if ‘Aunt Flow’ is in town.
Stephanie says
I LOVE C9!
Erin @ A Girl & Her Mutt says
I can’t imagine not wearing underwear. *Shudder*
Holly Wert says
yep
Heidi M says
I just had a conversation yesterday with one of my BRF (best runner friends) about some of the cute inexpensive tops and skirts I saw there recently! I would love a GC…I’m in Target like 5 out of the 7 days a week. Help me out!
AnnaGrace Strange says
I definitely wear underwear – even if the shorts have the liner built into them.
Hillary says
Commando!!! 🙂
Jill says
Always!
Emily says
I wear undies with my capris and leggings, but not with my shorts that have a wonderful liner! I definitely prefer running in my shorts for that very reason!
Amy says
I’m with you – my gear has built in liners so no underwear needed! Just another garment to chafe sensitive skin.
Janice says
I love target workout clothes!
Andrea says
I am like you Monica…no way to chonies while working out!!
Amanda E says
I love Target workout clothes!
Julia H. says
I do the underwear/workout gear combo really just depending on my mood! I probably do it more often than not, though.
Linda says
yes
Katie says
Man do I need new workout clothes. Grad school has put a serious end to my spending on workout clothes, so this would go a long way!
Angie P says
I always wear underwear!
liz @ www.sweat-happy.com says
I don’t wear underwear with workout clothes since I prefer bottoms with built in undies!
Amy W says
Yes, I wear underwear, but it can’t be baggy or it’s super uncomfortable and they get all wadded up! Hence, my panties get in a wad!
Cayce says
I have never gone commando while wearing exercise clothes. I would feel so naked!
jennifer says
Love C9. It holds up well and it’s inexpensive
Breanna says
I don’t wear underwear with shorts with a built in pair. But none of my capris have anything built in. So in that case I do wear underwear.
Jackie says
I love the C9 line at Target! I’ve seriously bought way too much stuff there. And I have two pairs of those mesh shorts with the lining and I love them! 🙂
Alicia says
Yes 🙂
Eunice says
I never wear underwear. Al my shorts have them built in!

Lisa says
Yes I do.
Elizabeth says
I love Target’s workout clothes! And yes, total underwear wearer with workout clothes 🙂
emma says
nope! total duplication
Jen Shaw says
I wear underwear under my capris. I always wonder what other runners wear because no one ever talks about it! Hmmmm…
Tara says
I wear underware if I’m working out in public. I don’t wear them at home. Is that weird? 😉
Claire says
Depends on the shorts I’m wearing, but usually yes!

I do wear chonies most of the time. The shorts I use also something.

Nicole says
I sure do!
Adina says
Depends on what bottoms I’m wearing:)
Ella says
I ALWAYS wear underwears when I run – is that weird!?
Shanelle says
I don’t have much workout gear. All I have is one pair of stretchy capris and I wear underwear with those.. So my answer is yes 🙂
Marisa says
Never…isn’t that why the shorts are built in?
Leigh says
Nope! I do love the C9 stuff though!
Sara Kolpek says
I don’t know if I properly entered to win!??
But I do love target’s active wear section. I need some new workout tanks! Hello Summer. 🙂
Whitney says
Most of the time 😉
Taylor says
I used to, but I’ve been going commando lately because I couldn’t find any that were comfortable enough under my workout pants/during workouts.
Misty says
Depends on the bottoms!
Marty says
If the shorts have it built in, no. If not, then I do!
Amie F says
Yes always!!
Janice says
I always buy the running shorts with their own undies built in.No marathong for me. I love the Champion line at Target. When I go to Target I always go to that section first…well maybe second. I just found one of their sports bras on clearance for $5! Made my day.
Kristina Harper says
No, I definitely don’t wear underwear with my workout gear. All my shorts/skirts have something built in. I have never tried Target workout clothes so this would be awesome!!!!
Can’t wait to hear about the HUMMUS — one of my favorties!
Amanda says
Depends on the gear I’m wearing!! : )
Amanda W says
I do always.
Jp says
No actually, i dont!
Jess says
Only if it doesn’t already have it built in!
katelyn says
i always wear underwear, but have to wear a thong!
Erica says
I’ll pass on the marathong, but I’d love a new sports bra! Depending on the shorts, I’ll wear VS’s yoga panties when I’m working out.
Lisa says
I only wear undies if their are none built into my shorts. Though if they called it a marathong I think I’d be way more inclined to buy it!
Beth G. says
Yep. ALWAYS!
Rachel B says
Sometimes yes, sometimes no…
Sheena says
I definitely run in chonies under my workout gear. I’m always weirded out by not having anything on underneath since the sewn in ones are usually a bit more loose and I don’t want any wardrobe malfunctions 🙂
Kimberly says
I do and I’ve tried the C9 undies actually pretty comfy!
Juliene says
I skip underthings when working out. Especially if there’s a liner. I do always wonder if those things could possibly be comfy while working it out??
Mel says
I feel nekkid without my gochies on – but most pants/capris/shorts I wear don’t have netting/builtin undies. So yes, I don’t leave home without ’em on.
Laura says
I don’t have running shorts with built-in underwear….I have never shopped at Target for workout gear, I might just try it!!!
Meredith says
yes, i do even if there’s no liner.
Jenny says
Nevah buy shorts without the liner. Underwear plus that equals uncomfortable sweating, riding up.
Susie says
i usually wear a marathong
Jess says
Totally wear underwear, but not ones specifically for running.
Nicole J says
I’ll wear underwear if there’s no liner- otherwise that is my underwear
Ali says
I’m a big fan of Target Active wear. I haven’t seen any running skirts here yet though and I can see Target HQ from my office!
Rachelle says
I love Target’s workout gear. Its so cute and functional at a great price 🙂
Patty T says
I NEVER wear underwear under my workout gear. It all started when I was rowing in college and if things got uncomfortable you couldn’t adjust in the boat while rowing. 🙂
Nicki says
I only wear stuff with the built in undies or a gusset. No one wants the soggy-sweat bottom.
Nikki Brim says
Three weeks out of the month I am commando 😉
Angie says
I wear underwear but maybe not wearing it would’ve prevented me from injuring my hand on Monday picking a wedgie. No joke. PSA: picking wedgies can hurt.
Lindsay says
I have some moving comfort special workout undies for wearing under some mesh shorts that don’t have built ins. They are awesome. I also like to wear them around town under yoga pants, etc.
Brianna says
Built in! Way easier when doing laundry. I don’t like tips with built in bras tho!
Bailey says
yep I wear underwear under. It’s kind of a pain but I feel weird without them
Stephanie says
I love the C9 gear from Target. They opened a special C9 store in San Francisco – love stopping in there on my frequent trips to Target.
Megan says
Yes, always wear underwear!!
Jamie A. says
For some reason I always wear underwear. The underwear thingy in running shorts is usually sort of loose and baggy, so I tend to prefer working out with them on.
Michelle LM says
I love me some c9, I wear them everyday to the gym and well I wear them even when I am not at the gym so I could use a few more options:)
Nicole says
I wear underwear! Gotta protect my ladybits.
Emma @ Fawn Log says
I usually do. If it’s a slower (less sweaty!) run, underwear helps me extend the use of the shorts for 2 or more days. TMI? This is probably why I rarely have running buddies 🙂
Lindsay says
Yes! Almost always!
Heather says
Love that you call them “chonies”! And yup, I wear ’em
Lindsay says
C9 is super cute!

Yes I do–I would feel naked without them!

Katie says
It depends on what I am wearing-running shorts, no.I love the new target shorts!
Patty says
yes i do!
Jen says
I always thought I was weird but I’m not alone! I don’t wear panties…I don’t like wedgies and my shorts usually have them built in
Becca L. says
Yes! even with my running shorts, I “double up” because I always am afraid of some kind of wardrobe malfunction!
Scott says
For reference, I’m a guy.
In the summer, no…just regular running shorts with the liner built-in.
In the winter, yes, I usually do C9 Performance Boxers under running tights. Regular tights if it’s not too cold, thermal tights if it’s under ~20F.
I love C9 stuff, probably 95% of my running gear is from Target.
tempesst says
yes!
Kimberly @ Healthy Strides says
50-50.
Andrea M says
I do! …I’m honestly curious: when shouldn’t you?
Blair says
Most of the time….but I’ll admit when I’m low on laundry, I’ll sometimes throw on a pair of capris and go commando. Eh it is what it is haha.
Kami says
Target is one of the happiest places on earth for many reasons, and their workout gear might be at the top of that list! I just bought that running skirt with the rouched sides and love it!
I definitely wear undies when I run 🙂
Laurel says
Unless I’m wearing tempo shorts, yes!
Niki says
always!
christine says
I hate the shorts with the built-ins! I cut them out 🙂 but yes I wear underwear ha.
Erin says
I do wear underwear when I workout. Maybe I should try without? That may feel weird for me!
Jaclyn says
Nope, no undies for me! I also wear the shorts with the built-in underwear.
Ivy says
I wear undies with workout shorts/skirts even though they have them built in I just don’t like the idea of it I guess… I dunno I’m weird
Jaclyn says
I love C9 Target workout wear! I wear something from that line almost every day 🙂
Riley says
Yes, it would feel too weird without anything!
Dolly says
I wear undies when I run.
Iris says
I always wear underwear! And hehehe, “marathong.” Too funny!
KK says
I like the built ins best, but if they don’t have em, I have to have something on? Can’t run commando.
Lindsay says
I love the shorts! I would love a target gift card!!
Kylee says
Yes I wear a thong even with the built in undies on the shorts!
Kathy says
Not usually- I usually wear the shorts with built-ins.
Paige says
Love those shorts!!!
Meghan says
Depends what I’m wearing! Shorts with something built in, no, capris, yes!
Veronica says
Definitely – so I can get more than one wear out of my shorts!
Lauren says
Love me some Target! The C9 duo dry socks are the only ones I wear, running or otherwise!
Liv says
I don’t at all!
erica says
none for me, though i do wear (and LOVE) target’s sports bras. i prefer them over every other brand i’ve tried
Jenny says
I do! I would feel weird and self conscious if I didn’t.
jena says
yup, always wear undies with workout clothes.
Bing says
yes, since I run in capris, would be weird without any on.
Siobhan says
ALWAYS.
a) because I feel naked without but b) because… honestly, I don’t have quiiite enough workout clothes to fit with my not-so-frequent laundry schedule (besides for workout gear I own an embarrassing amount of clothes… which is what makes this work I swear!). so going without is a no!
Eva says
yes! moreso than I do with like jeans, for sure!

Always! I feel weird without it!

Crystal@TheFastFitRunner says
I must run with full body undies. Who can run 10+ with a thong on and not get chafed?!
Christina Z says
LOL of course I do : )
Kate says
It depends-I don’t when I’m wearing running shorts, but I do for all other clothes options!
Jessica J. says
I always run with undies on (usually a non-marathong). I think running with the just built in undies feels weird.
kelly says
If I’m wearing capris i do, but go without whenever this is something built in, doubling up seems like it would be too bulky!
Katie says
Glad that I am not alone on going commando…and for my love of Target
Lydia says
Yep!
Laura E says
Yes! I have certain underwear I wear to workout in!
Courtney says
I absolutely always wear underwear!
Chelsea says
Target’s gear has always been one of my favorites!
Allie says
I do. I have some Moving Comfort underwear that doesn’t really show under the capri tights, which is nice.
Natalie says
Always wear them; never really thought about not wearing them.
Anna Catherine says
Nope, tried one day going without them and it was great, so no more undies 🙂
Rachel says
I love Targets active wear!
Katie R says
Yes!!!
Emily McDonald says
No skivvies! 🙂 Too constricting & cause some chafing!
Molly says
i always go to target i would love to win!
Lexa says
Running shorts never. Other workout pants just depend if the seam is weird or not.
Pauline says
I always wear undies under workout gear.
erin m. says
Absolutely!
Julie (A Case of the Runs) says
LOL, I sometimes typo “marathon” with an extra “g.”
Anyway, love C9 clothes. I started off wearing those and the only other things I wear are because I received them as gifts.
Leigh says
No undies for me! It would just be something to bother me while running and I can’t have that!
Robbie Alba-Estrada says
I usually wear undies, but sometimes I don’t.
Wendy F says
I don’t usually wear undies under workout capris, but under running shorts, yes.
Katie says
To answer your question… yes, yes i do 😉
Tara says
I go commando in workout gear. Most of my shorts/capris have built in underwear, just easier and more comfortable that way!
Ilana says
Of course!
Kaitie says
I usually do. If its early in the morning and I’m just hitting our treadmill here sometimes I’ll go without. I love target’s C9 line, especially the bras.
Marcie says
Big mama undies when doing Bob Harper videos, but no calzones when running.
Emily says
This would be amazing to win!
Crystal Froehlich says
Isn’t that like wearing two pairs of underwear?! I never wear them when I run!
Tasha says
If there are built-in undies, no. If not, then yes. 🙂
Lindsay says
I’m a free flyer under my workout wear. Less chafe = less problemos.
Emily K. @ Leaf Parade says
I love the C9 line at Target!
Bryanna says
yes to undies!
Mindy says
nope, never do! 😉

Lauren says
Definitely wear underwear during a workout, but I would never wear a thong!
Lisa says
Sometimes!! Less lately.
Kelsey says
All my workout gear comes with the linings built in so I guess you could say I go commando?!?
Who wants to be picking at wedgies the whole time anyways! How embarrassing haha!
Kathryn Welch says
I love Target and I so need new workout bras!! Please pick me!!
Madison Montgomery says
Love target’s sports bras! 🙂
Meredith says
I usually wear a thong. I just feel weird not wearing anything!

I try not to… but sometimes I wear moving comforts!
Dolly says
I just bought a few of the C9 t-shirts and I love them them. They are so soft 🙂
Susan says
I don’t know if I’m in the majority or minority because there are too many comments to read them all but I do wear underwear with my running shorts or capris. Most of the ones that I have don’t have anything built in but I feel weird if I don’t wear them.
Samantha says
I love Target sports bras! And yes!
Kim says
Yes – probably from years of wearing track uniforms that other people had also worn – even with washing I felt better with underwear between them and me!!!
Michelle says
Target gift card, I’m in!
MartinaNYC says
ALWAYS! Never a thong though…
Ashley says
most of the time…
Leanne says
Yes, I always wear undies… Even when my running shorts have the built in kind!
Eunbee says
always! i’ve honestly never heard of not wearing undies haha!
Emily says
Unless there are built ins, I always do!

Stacy says
Absolutely!!
Billie says
Hmm, I never even considered not wearing any…I’m intrigued. And I am obsessed with Target 🙂
Erin says
I always wear underwear.

Emily says
Yes, definitely!
Karen says
Haha great question! I always wear underwear, that sounds uncomfortable not to!
Meghan says
Not unless I might have to change in a not-so-private place.
Rebecca says
I just found a C9 tank that is a dead ringer for a Lululemon top that I love! $20 for the same top that normally costs $60? Excellent….
lauren g says
Typically I do, but sometimes no.
Emily says
I do!
Kolby C says
Yes I do! I would feel weird without them!
Stefanie says
Always! I <3 Target workout gear!

NG says
Sometimes yes, but not always. ..
elizabeth e says
love target workout gear!
Katie G says
I always wear them!
mel says
No undies
Kathi J says
I’m a 50/50 girl. Sometimes to the undies, sometimes not so much. Depends on my mood and the lining of the athletic pants/shorts/skirt. They’re not a necessity. 🙂
Lauren says
I always do!
Emily N says
Actually, no. I skip the underwear!
Teresa M. says
It depends on if they have something built in or not. So sometimes, yes, sometimes no.
May says
Target workout gear = awesome!
kendra says
yay for target!
Casey says
Always! I’d feel naked without it
Kristina m says
If I wear capris I skip the underwear but if I wear shorts or a runners skirt I wear the underwear some reason I feel so weird and kinda naked.
amanda says
i do! but was wondering if i had to with shorts that had a liner? ha! newbie here.. came across your blog a few weeks ago and have been looking on it ever since!!
Wendy says
I do! Weird, but I feel strange if I don’t 🙂
Kate says
Sometimes, depends on what I’m wearing and who’ll be behind me while I work out!
Kelly says
Yeah, i just can’t bring myself to not.
Erika says
I usually wear capris when I work out and they don’t have anything built in. I’d feel weird without them.
I loooove Target!
Leah R. says
Depends on whether I’m planning on wearing my shorts/capris/pants again before washing them. How gross am I? 🙂
Heather says
Love C9 Running capris 🙂 And yes, I gotta wear the undies!
Raha says
yes I always wear undies when I workout!
Anjali says
Yes I do, and I am in great need of more workout clothes too!
Emily says
Oh yes, undies are part of the workout attire!
Noelle says
Sometimes I wear underwear….Sometimes I don’t. I don’t really have a rhyme or reason for when I do, just if I feel like it?? So I could probably use a pair or two of ‘active’ undies 🙂
Denise says
Nope, don’t wear them. It’s like wearing a pair of pants or a dress and seeing panty lines. Ack.
Cindy says
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. It depends on how I am feeling that day.
Victoria says
Hi Monica!
It depends on which activity I’m doing and the type of clothes I’m wearing! When I have lining/built in panties I don’t add underwear. Otherwise, I always wear them!
Thanks for the chance to win the Target freebie!
*I also have a running/hydration question: When you run, do you ever lose water weight followed by a water weight gain in the morning? I’m sure you are an expert now with hydrating for races, but I wanted to hear your input!
Thanks!
Sara D says
I always do because I often re-wear my workout capris/shorts.
Lisa says
Nope, never have and don’t really see a need to even if it’s not built in. Besides it’s one less item of laundry plus I’m too cheap to buy running/workout specific underwear anyway.
Joanna says
Great giveaway! I’ve been eyeing the fitness gear at Target for a while, such cute stuff, and I’ll need it all to motivate me for marathon training…
Gina says
I am new to wearing shorts while exercising (just started this spring actually) and have one pair with the underwear built in. I LOVE THEM! But I actually have two pair (kinda like boy shorts) from Target that I like to wear with my other shorts. Unlike you, I need new sports bras something terrible. I hate the smoosh down, uni-boob so I need to actually try some on.
Mercy says
Haha, I wear them, too!
Kendra Rozett says
C9 is my favorite running gear!!! Though I don’t find the bras supportive enough for girls with “girls”, so I buy my bras at the Champion Outlets.
Christina says
Love Target!
Suzanne says
No, because most things I wear have something built in.
Leah says
Yes! And Vaseline is totally my best friend.
sophie says
I usually do but sometimes I don’t. depends on laundry lol
deirdre | Oh Well Whatever says
Yes, I wear underwear. So NEED this gift card ; )
R says
Sans underwear, every time. Bunchy, bunchy!
Side note: I work at a “fancier” workout store, so when I find stuff that is cheaper that is close to the same quality as what I sell, I get excited. Target is getting closer, FYI!
april says
yup, i do!
Jackie says
I do ALWAYS wear undies!
Kristine Young says
I love C9 and Target!
melissa says
Yes I do!
Elena says
yes, always
Jamie K says
With running shorts no, with everything else yes!

blair s says
pretty much never.
Katelynn says
the only sports bras i wear. comfy and affordable!
Zana says
Yes, definitely!

Always!
P.S. I LOVE Target for affordable options!

tiffany says
yes! i always wear something under. although i see your point, since there are those built in ones…hmm.
Lynn says
Love C9 and pretty much anything and everything from Target!
Kaelin says
No underwear for me! I can’t stand having anything creep around while I am working hard and sweating. Fighting the chub rub, one underwear-free run at a time!
Sandi says
Yes, I do.
Shauna says
Love Target workout clothes. Love the use of “chonies.”
Llauryn says
depends on which shorts! 🙂 i love the C9 bras!
Ashley E says
Yes! Always underwear – thongs.
LT says
I do, just because my capris don’t have an underwear gusset. But I can only wear thongs, because full coverage underwear gives me wedgies when I run.
Margie Visnick says
Definitely!
Caroline says
Yes!
Michelle says
I never wear “chonies” with my workout gear. Rule of thumb is that you wash them every single time!
emily says
nope. no underwear while running. this is new, as one day i was complaining about all my butt sweat and always getting wedgies while running. my friend was baffled that i wore undies while running… so i tried no undies — feel the breeeeze! what a wonderful discovery! 🙂
Abby J. says
Yes! I always wear underwear.
Amy says
I LOVE Target!!
christine says
Never!
Tara says
Oh yes, always!
I love C9 workout gear! (and their socks too!)
Taraleigh says
Funny, I saw those under wear recently too and thought they have underwear just for working out now? LOL Apparently your crotch now needs sweat wicking capability….
Sarah says
Only when they don’t have a built-in pair. Most of my pants do not so I wear an athletic thong like what you show.
elizabeth says
C9=love, undies=no 🙂
Ashley G says
Yep, always do
Katie says
I love the c9 gear, it is so comfortable.
Melissa S. says
Always!
Alexandra says
Sometimes…it depends on what type of bottoms I am wearing – aka how tight they are 🙂
kristina says
Never! haha!
Autumn Rae says
Yes. Underwear. Always.
Alicia Wynn says
Always wear underwear – no matter what!
MichelleG says
I wear undies!
Angie Ward says
Yes, but none of my workout clothes have built ins.
Alicia Wynn says
I have tried other brands as well but always go back to C9 at Target!
Alison says
I always wear thongs when I work out, even though most of my workout clothes have built-ins.
Caitlin says
Ooh Target gift card?? I love Target, and even more so now that we’ve moved to a city/town with very very limited shopping options…. The only ‘box stores’ within an hour are Target, Kohls, & Walmart (still a half hour trek), I was extatic when we found the Target. C9 makes up a good half if my running wardrobe, but could always make up more!!
Christi M says
Always wear undies! Not sure I can run, walk, do anything without them. I have a friend who NEVERs wear undies. Doesn’t want panty lines.
JoLyn says
I usually don’t.
Danielle says
I know it’s strange, but I always wear underwear under my running shorts, even the ones that have something built in. It just feels too weird if I don’t!
Wren says
Always! Even if my shorts/skirts have a built in undies I still have to wear a real pair underneath!
michelle kim says
No undies with my workout clothes, hehe.
Collette says
I’m so glad there are a lot of girls that wear underwear. I fit in that category. I would feel weird without.
Tabatha Rhodes says
They do have some really cute gear!!
Rebecca S says
Yes! But my workout capri’s don’t have anything built in.
Val says
Depends on the bottoms I am wearing.
kathy v says
Yes to undies
Brooke says
I love Target workout gear!!
Kristen B says
Yes ma’am!!
Isis says
I wear underwear while I workout, but not when I go for runs!
Krystina says
I always wear undies with my workout gear. I have a friend that gives me a hard time about it, but I’m so used to wearing them, that if I didn’t, I feel like I would feel naked.
Jennifer says
I do wear them… the thought hasn’t occurred to me to NOT wear them until now! 🙂
Lindsey A. says
I don’t wear undies under my shorts or skirts, but I have some looser capris and bermuda style shorts that I do wear undies under. I’d love to try workout undies, do they help with sweat?
Donna says
Yes, always! It just feels weird when I don’t 🙂
Heather S says
Yes always! 🙂
Amber says
I must say I do wear them. I think I’d feel awkward without!
rachel says
I do…but none of mine have built-in undies.
Emma says
I love Target and I NEED a pair of those shorts!!
Kelsey Yoki says
Always do! But I would love to try the underoos from C9 MADE for working out. Love it!
Danielle says
Marathong is a must!
Tracy says
It depends on the shorts I am wearing!
Kristine says
Yes, I wear underwear! I’ve also never seen anything with underwear built in so I think it would be gross not to wear anything. Commando is just weird to me, but more power to those who don’t feel that way!!
Mary Beth says
Yes I do, I actually have the C9 boyshorts next to the Marathong:) I have been debating running without…I just might have to try it.
TrinaH says
I love the built in underware feature on workout shorts. The Marathong has me wiggling in my seat, about .2 miles into 26.2 that would turn out to be a bad idea!
jillian says
No, definitely no undies under my exercise clothes – ever! In fact, i hardly ever wear underwear 🙂
nicole k says
Nope, I don’t. And my husband thinks I’m so weird for it. Glad to hear there are more!
SuzanneU says
This gal goes Commando under workout gear or non workout gear. Too constricting!
Natalie says
I only wear thongs when I workout! I HATE pantylines and the inevitable wedgie that comes with other styles of panties….though, if it’s been a while since I’ve done laundry and I’m out of thongs, you can bet your booty I’m going commando =P
Shelley says
NO!
Gaby Ryan says
Love targets workout gear! So cute, functional and at a great price!
Danielle says
I always wear underwear under my running shorts. Too scared to go without them. I discovered the C9 line the other day after reading your blog. It looks pretty legit and I think I’ve found some stuff that will work great for running and with my budget!
Katie says
Definitely no on the underwear! The C9 stuff has been so great lately! Love this!
Sheena says
I love C9 … cute and affordable stuff! 🙂
Denise Pupo says
I do not wear underwear when I work out. I do own a couple of thong style New Balance ones, but I never used them.
Kaitlin says
I do!
Kaitlin says
I do!
Erika M says
Yup always wear a thong. I feel naked without something under there…
Missy Nachreiner @mileswithmissy says
I dislike some of the bunchie rundies that come in some of the shorts. If I wear chonies under my shorts or pants it depends on the short/pant and how comfortable they are without undies 🙂
Ashley G says
The bacteria and oils/moisture in our lady regions will break down fabrics at a more rapid rate, so I always wear undies with everything. It’s also more comfortable for me, I never worry about being inappropriate while stretching either.
In less awkward news, I love C9.
Felicia says
ah i could never go comando! i didnt even know that was a thing 🙂
Stephanie says
Oooh, I want a marathong!
Fizz @fizzsbizz says
I always wear underwear when I work out. I get kinda confused by the built in mesh ones, are they supposed to replace your undies?
I do definitely need to get some exercise specific thongs so I don’t wreck my fancy lace ones (fancy = $5 or more).
Amanda says
Is it just me or am I the only one that goes into Target for one thing and comes out with 100? Just sayin… 😉
cassidy says
I used to be anti-built undie shorts, but now that I run more, I am all about having them already in the shorts.
Tiffany says
I do!
Laura says
Most definitely!
Theresa says
I always wear underwear when working out.
Leah says
I have some Champion stuff too. Love! Great price, and fits well.
Mmmm, hummus….
Martha says
I don’t wear undies when I’m using running shorts with the built-in underwear, but if I’m wearing workout capris or other shorts then I definitely do!
Rebecca Jo says
& yes… I’m a undies wearer myself… unless I’m at home in my treadmill 🙂 Who needs clothes at home!!! 🙂 (I do by the way – that chub rub in effect would be horrible!)
This has taken a horrible turn somewhere 🙂
leahk says
Yes I ALWAYS wear undies when they don’t have built in ones… even just with shorts because it helps keep things last longer and smell fresher because less bacteria will live in the skirts/shorts 🙂 (gross but true!)
Caitlin says
LOVE target workout stuff! 🙂
Yeah, I just wear your normal every day stuff…I tend to move more toward the granny panties for races though…I’d get super annoyed if I had to keep adjusting while I’m trying to PR!
Megan Joy says
Sure do! I’m always so afraid my spandex will become see through.
Rebecca Jo says
Marathong… awesome! 🙂
I’m fighting the chub rub every day of my life 😉
julie says
I absolutely love C9 by champion. they fit without being too tight ( I like my work out clothes on the looser side) and of course target is the ish!! I would LOVE to win this gift card!!!
Rachel A. says
I always wear underwear when working out. I never realized how many people don’t. Maybe I’ll run faster without them : )
Madison says
Can’t stand wearing underwear. But i do love Target!
Johanna B says
I wear Champion workout wear. Love Target. and yes, I do wear underwear under my capris and shorts.
Mel says
I love target workout clothes!
Brittney says
No under roos for this girl-
Nothing worse than chaffing from underwear on a long run- ouch!
Kaitlyn Suski says
I don’t wear underwear but I’ve thought about it.
becca says
haha I do wear underwear. I can’t get on the no-undies trend.
Cole says
HA! marathong….too funny, what a fun giveaway!
tara says
Only if my shorts don’t have something in them already!
Kristen B. says
Definitely, I think I would feel weird if I didn’t!
