Silly Karate Rant-y Type Thing Which is Really About Underwear

Workout was small (four people all together) tonight, but I worked really hard. And got kicked weirdly. And did a couple of bad roundhouse kicks that I landed against my partner's hand the wrong way, which means toes bend funny and that hurts.

But here's my silly rant...

My gi is white. Which means white panties underneath. Not that that part actually probably matters to anyone but me, but it just makes more sense to wear white panties under white pants instead of like, purple ones...at least according to what my Mom taught me. But the thing is, I gave up white panties around the same time I started menstruating. They're just incompatible it seems. So now I had to go and buy white panties cause I certainly didn't own any and I have to wear them. Ick.

Agreed. And light colored (light blue, lavender, etc) will also not show, at least under the Gis I used to wear. In fact I don't remember it showing under even with dark.

But really I doubt anyone carers, either.

I think the biker pants or dancer shorts might be a good compromise. Wear them over your underwear of choice and keep them only for karate.

I've seen people wearing black thongs. Also, my school is not air conditioned (and is also pretty not much heated), so we have summer uniforms. The summer uniforms are sort of like summer pajamas that I wore as a kid. By the end of class you can basically tell the color/pattern of anything you wear underneath. The tops also tend to fall open so far that it has to be pinned close.
