Are You Supposed To Wear Underwear With Swim Trunks?

For years, people have been wearing underwear with their bathing suits and other people have looked on, wondering why. Is it for fashion? Is it for function? Should we all be doing it? Do you wear underwear with swim trunks or not? 

Well, we’re finally feeling brave enough to answer this question. And we’re saying, once and for all, that you should not wear underwear with your trunks. Just don’t! 

“But why!” you ask. Don’t worry, we have all the answers below.

Why Not to Wear Underwear Under Swim Trunks 〰️

Okay, so aside from the fact that wearing your underwear in public is kind of generally unwelcome, let’s run down why it’s best to just leave those Undies behind when it comes to your next pool or beach day:

Underwear Material: Not Meant for Pools

There’s a big difference between swimwear and underwear. Swimwear is made for a purpose: Swimming. 
That’s why it’s made from different materials than the materials we use to make our super-soft Undies (and Bralettes). It’s sturdier, less porous, and will feel lighter in the water compared to swimming in underwear.

Underwear Will Be Ruined by the Chemicals in the Swimming Pool

Undies aren’t meant to be worn in a pool, so they’re not going to react to the pool very well. If you wear underwear into the pool, expect to see damage to the color/print and to the actual fibers, meaning more fraying and a worse fit. 

Swimming in the salty ocean will do the same, btw. Overall, just avoid it if you like Undies that fit well and look nice.

Underwear Will Absorb Water, Making It Harder to Swim or Dry

Do you want a soggy booty? Absolutely not! 

Our Swimwear is made from sustainable materials and dries quickly, making it perfect for pool parties and beach days. Our Undies, on the other hand, were designed to be super-soft and perfect for lounging, daily living, and sleeping, but definitely not swimming.

Underwear will be visible from underneath

This one’s just a preference, tbh. When you wear your Undies under your Swimwear, it creates distracting, bulky shapes. Keep it sleek and wedgie-free by leaving your Undies out of it.
