You may find this surprising, but one of the most common questions asked about women’s bodysuits is “should I wear a bodysuit with or without underwear?”
The short answer? It’s really up to you! But there are some things you should take into consideration when deciding whether or not to wear underwear with your bodysuit…
First things first, what is a bodysuit?
A bodysuit is a one-piece garment that covers the torso and attaches to the crotch with snaps. The top is attached to the bottom panty-like piece, creating that ‘swimsuit-esque’ style. They come in a variety of styles, from long-sleeves to strapless, and can be made from all kinds of fabrics - everything from stretchy cotton to slinky satin.
Bodysuits are beloved for their ability to create a smooth, streamlined silhouette. By eliminating pesky shirt-tucking, they provide a sleek, seamless base for everything from jeans to skirts. They're also super versatile, allowing you to easily transition an outfit from day to night.
Should you wear underwear under a bodysuit?
The short answer? It's completely up to you!
A well designed bodysuit will provide enough coverage in the gusset that, if you’d prefer to do so, you could wear it without underwear. However, as with most things in life, there are pros and cons to either approach. Let’s dive in…
Pros of wearing underwear under a bodysuit:
1. Added comfort.
Bodysuit closures might feel better against your underwear than your skin, especially if you’re wearing your bodysuit all day long. Underwear can provide an extra layer of comfort and cushioning between your skin and the bodysuit, which ultimately means you can feel more comfortable in your sleek cotton bodysuit for longer.
2. Better hygiene.
While bodysuits are designed to be worn close to the body, they may not provide the same level of protection and absorption as underwear. Second to this, if you wear underwear underneath, you may feel like you can wear your bodysuit more than once before it goes through the wash – whereas worn without underwear, you’ll be washing it after every wear!
Cons of WEaring underwear under a bodysuit:
1. Visible panty lines.
One of the main appeals of a bodysuit is the sleek, seamless look it provides. Depending on the underwear you opt for and the trousers you’re wearing, this can sometimes ruin that effect, creating lines and bumps under your clothes.
2. Potential for bunching/bulging.
Depending on the fit of your bodysuit and the type of underwear you choose, the extra layer can lead to fabric bulges or bunching in certain areas.
There are arguments on both sides! Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and what feels most comfortable for you.
Whether it's your underwear or your bodysuit, breathable fabrics are best!
One thing that's non-negotiable, though, is the importance of breathable fabrics. Whether you choose to wear underwear or go commando, the material of both your bodysuit and your underwear can make a big difference in your overall comfort and confidence. The key is finding breathable, flexible materials that work with your body, not against it.
Synthetic fabrics like nylon and polyester might seem sleek and smooth, but they have a tendency to trap heat and moisture against your skin. This can lead to uncomfortable sweating, chafing, and even unpleasant odours. Not exactly the vibe we're going for, right? Plus, it’s not the healthiest for down there.
Instead, look for women’s bodysuits and underwear made from natural, breathable fibres like Organic Cotton. This material allows air to circulate, wicking away moisture and keeping you feeling fresh all day long. Bonus points is cotton bodysuits have a bit of stretch for freedom of movement.
Choosing cotton for both your bodysuits and your underwear means you’ll have breathability throughout the day (ie. you can wear them for hours without getting irritated and sweaty), cotton also only gets better with more washes.
Plus, Organic Cotton is a highly durable fabric, meaning you’ll likely experience more longevity from your cotton bodysuits . You’ll be able to wear them time and time for years to come.
The bottom line on bodysuits and underwear…
At the end of the day, there's no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to wearing underwear with a bodysuit. It's a personal choice that depends on your individual comfort level, the specific bodysuit you're wearing, and your overall outfit.
The most important things are:
1. Choosing a bodysuit that fits you well and is made from high-quality, breathable fabrics.
2. Deciding whether you prefer the feeling of wearing underwear or going commando - there's no right or wrong answer!
3. Prioritising comfort and confidence above all else.
So the next time you're getting dressed and wondering whether to wear underwear with your bodysuit, remember - the choice is yours. Do what feels best for you!
