If you play a sport or enjoy regular physical activity, then you may know how widely-used compression shorts have become among athletes and trainers. However, you may be wondering: should you wear anything under compression shorts ? In short, THE ANSWER IS NO.

To get the most out of your compression clothing, they should be worn as a base layer directly next to your skin.

SWEAT IT OUT® with COOL COMPRESSION® Technology offers a line of high-quality compression garments that help prevent muscular injury, improve athletic performance, and more. Our products should be worn as the first layer next to the skin all day for maximum impact. Remember that compression garments should NOT be worn while sleeping!  

Compression shorts are designed to provide maximum support to leg muscles—such as the hamstring and quadriceps—and the groin region. 

SWEAT IT OUT® men’s and women’s compression shorts are made of high-quality fabric that stretches 360° with the body and 200% in every direction. This helps provide the necessary support your muscles need during a workout while being comfortable.

Whether you’ve seen athletes wear compression shorts as an outer layer or are just getting into fitness yourself, it’s common to wonder whether you should wear anything under compression shorts. You might even think it’s okay to wear underwear under compression shorts. We’re here to tell you that’s not the case! 

Here is why you should only wear compression shorts as the first layer next to the skin.

To reap the intended advantages to the fullest extent, it’s best to wear compression garments against your skin—this means you should not even wear underwear under compression shorts. 

Now that you know not to wear anything under compression shorts, it’s essential to understand the benefits of high-quality compression garments when worn correctly. 

Here are the main benefits:

When worn correctly, SWEAT IT OUT® women’s and men’s compression shorts are supportive and comfortable. SWEAT IT OUT® with COOL COMPRESSION® Technology compression clothing rotates over 360° with the body and stretches 200% in all directions.

One additional benefit of compression shorts is that they provide comfort while training or exercising. If you wear underwear beneath your compression shorts, you may experience chafing or sweating that can make you feel uncomfortable. Compression clothing wicks moisture from your skin to help you feel comfortable and cool.

Of course, we can’t forget to mention the biggest advantage of all: compression garments help reduce swelling and muscle fatigue. This is the best preventative measure against injuries when worn correctly—as the first layer against the skin. 

But keep in mind that compression garments are not aspirin. If you have a serious injury, please consult with a doctor!

So, in conclusion, are you supposed to wear anything under compression shorts? THE ANSWER IS NO.

If you wear underwear beneath your compression shorts, the underwear will bunch and become damp, leading to discomfort and decreased breathability. Wearing your compression shorts as intended will improve your athletic performance and help during the recovery period.
