Meet our favourite running underwear!
This is one piece’a kit you DO NOT want to get wrong… we know this from experience! Pants ‘wandering’, or rising up in the wrong places does not make for a happy run. This is why we’re sharing with you our go-to undies when we go rundies… ok that was lame, but you get our drift.
From run specific specials to Primark’s own pants, we got you covered no matter how far you run!
Primark
Simple ‘Lycra’ thong
- TTH Tested: We wear these for our weekday mileage and pretty much all We Are Runners run clubs, plus plenty of training sessions.
- Why we like them: Super affordable and really comfortable.
- Price: £6 for 3 pairs
Decathlon (Kalenhi)
- TTH Tested: London to Birmingham Ultra
- Why we like them: Very full coverage on the bum, so much so that you don’t really get a VPL. They are also very affordable.
- Price: £3.99/pair
- TTH Tested: We have not actually run in this pair but we think they look fab
- Why we like them: They look like they have features from the Runderwear and Primark pants that we like a lot.
- Price: £3.99/pair
Oddballs
Seamless Brazilian Briefs – Black with Lace
- TTH Tested: Midweek miles and strength sessions
- Why we like them: H likes to sleep in these and jump straight into her kit for an early morning run. They are slinky without slipping and sliding around, plus the lace trim means no VPL
- Price: £4.99/pair
lululemon
- TTH Tested: Short runs and strength sessions
- Why we like them: So lightweight and ‘barely-there feel’.
- Price: £15/pair
- TTH Tested: Midweek miles
- Why we like them: The seams on the edge are super soft and really stops the underwear from ‘wandering’ (if you know what we mean).
- Price: £15/pair

- Price: £18/pair
