are winter leggings worth buying?
the leggings I run in are thick enough so nobody sees my undies when I stretch or do yoga, but still summer ones, meaning not made of fleece. I like them because behind the knees they're made of mesh so my legs breathe more easily. After exercising for 2 hours outdoors my legs ain't cold. The winter ones from the same brand are made of fleece and don't have this behind-the-knees mesh window.
If you use fleece leggings, don't they get too hot?
what should I consider before buying winter running gloves?
to run, work out, stretch, jump... up to 2 to 3 hours outdoors with and without wind.
Any brands you'd recommend? I have long, thin fingers.
Is wearing crew socks over your leggings when training in the cold simply aesthetics or actually functional?
I've seen some other women wearing crew socks over their leggings while running and stretching. It looks like aesthetics over functionality but I may be wrong.
I've also seen some younger girls wearing what seems to be like very long socks over their leggings, almost covering their knees.
I don't see how that can be easy or comfortable to wear or train on the long term but I may be wrong. If you do this, does it work to keep your legs warm?
Any drawbacks?
if you workout and run, would you recommend a merino wool base or mid layer for autumn/winter? or am I going to break it?
I workout, stretch and run outdoors three to four times a week, it's a routine I like.
It's November already and it's getting cold. I have a 100% merino wool mid layer long sleeved shirt I spent 130$ on I wear to the office but I don't want to ruin it working out, stretching and running because it was expensive.
This piece of clothing is quite thick, like 2 layers put together. I don't want to buy anything thinner for sport because I've read thinner undershirts/base layers break due to friction.
This is what I fear is going to happen with my merino mid/base layer if I workout with it, even if it's on the thicker end of layers.
Another option would be to buy a regular polyester base layer to use with a synthetic mid layer or combine a synthetic base layer and a cotton mid layer. Would these be stupid ideas?
What should I use as an outer layer?
Overall, what brands would you recommend? I'm a skinny 5'6'' woman.
Do you do a squat right after putting on your thong or string so it sits correctly between your buttocks?
I bought and tried my first thong and I want to know how common is doing what I described so the thong sits correctly and doesn't move.
After the first squat I noticed how it went up between my buttocks but stayed there for the 5 minutes I worked out. No chaffing, it didn't hurt, it was just strange.
Now I'm thinking about doing a squat right after putting on the string, unless you tell me this is a sign I bought the wrong size.
There don't seem to be many brands that market men thongs and strings. Do you find good quality and durable undies for you?
Are thongs less prone to whale tailing than strings?
I workout with leggings and wonder which option reduces whale tailing.
A string’s waistband is much thinner than a thong’s. Does this mean whale tailing happens more often with strings than with thongs? If the waistband is not a string, but a wider piece of fabric, the piece should stay where it should be longer than a string and the waistband won’t ride over my hips when I workout, jump or stretch.
Is this how it works?
I’m skinny and don’t have wide hips or waist, if that makes a difference.
What should I consider before choosing the right tanga or string to work out with leggings?
I like working out and stretching in my leggings and I’m looking for a seamless tanga or a string that won’t show lines, won’t ride up and won’t accumulate sweat.
I don’t know if I should discard cotton tangas, because cotton absorbs moisture and I want to remain dry. If cotton is a no go, what fabrics should I use?
I don’t know if I should completely discard tangas and use a string, because compared to strings, tangas are quite wide on the sides. Won’t that be noticeable to the people I workout with when I stretch? And if it’s cotton, it’s going to be thicker than synthetic fabric or a seamless tanga.
I’ve never used a string, but seems to be ideal if I want to avoid lines. What I fear is that it’ll ride up. I don’t want that.
If I get a string and workout with it, will it leave deep marks in my skin? It’s a very thin piece of fabric.
Whatever I buy it’s gonna be low rise.
What works for you?
have you ever remained in a job you don't quite like for your coworkers?
If you read my history you'll know I'm a nurse applying for a position that's gonna mean less money but also less physical job, stable sleeping patterns and your regular 5 day workweek.
today I said goodbye to a group of coworkers I like working with. I was discreet about the new job, but I'm gonna miss working with them.
It makes me don't want to quit.
If you were ever here, how did you solve this?
