18 Best Pairs Of Moisture-Wicking Underwear For Working Out, Yeast Infections, And More, Per Gynecologists And Reviews
Soggy bottoms, be gone!
Us women (and men!) have all experienced a sweat stain down there while working out, and we can probs all relate to frantically trying to cover it up, too. Look, nobody wants to sport a crotch stain. But if *everything* is usually soaked after you work out, that's totally normal and you're absolutely not alone. Thankfully, moisture-wicking underwear works, and it'll do more than just wick away moisture and sweat in hot, humid weather.
According to gynecologists and dermatologists, moisture-wicking underwear is a must, and some can even boost your vaginal health and protect you from yeast infections, inflammation, and itching, too. But does moisture-wicking underwear actually work? Below, experts weigh in on the best moisture-wicking underwear, how they work, and how to find the best pairs for you, from plus-size undies to the best panties for runners.

What is the best fabric for moisture-wicking underwear?
When shopping for moisture-wicking underwear, look for materials like polyester, nylon, bamboo, and wool to whisk sweat away. The science is simple—those fabrics pull moisture away from the skin and out to the fabric’s exterior to evaporate. In other words, the fabric dries faster. It also regulates your body temperature, according to research published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology. (Cool, right?)
