It’s 2am. You’re lying in bed, wide awake, wondering things like “Do I wear undies to Pilates?” or “Is it normal for a thong to disappear like that?” Don’t worry, we’ve all been there. This is your no-judgement zone for the random, real, slightly chaotic questions that keep underwear in the group chat.
Let’s break it all down.
Can you wear underwear to Pilates?
Yes and you probably should. But not just any underwear.
The best undies for Pilates are ones that:
✔ Stay put
✔ Don’t bunch or ride up
✔ Don’t show through tights
✔ Let your body breathe
Translation: Seamless all the way. Our High Rise Thong is a cult fave for a reason. They stay in place during a downward dog, and zero seams to ruin the look of your leggings.
Why does my thong keep disappearing?
If your thong is migrating where it shouldn’t... it’s a fit or fabric issue. Either it’s too small, too big or it’s made from stiff fabric that doesn’t move with you.
Ola undies are made with 78% Nylon / 22% Spandex so they stretch with your body. And our cuts are designed to sit right , not slip into neverlands.
Should underwear leave marks on my skin?
Nope. That red line across your hips? That’s your underwear screaming for help.
Look for:
-
Seamless edges (no hard seams = no digging)
-
Proper sizing — size down if you’re in between, especially with seamless styles
Do I need to wash new underwear before wearing it?
Yes ; always. Even seamless underwear goes through a manufacturing process, and a quick wash gets rid of any leftover residue or dye. Our fit promise is solid, but we still recommend a cool, delicate wash before first wear.
What underwear should I wear under a white dress?
Go for a nude tone that matches your skin, every body's nude is different which is why we have multiple "Nude shades". Seamless + close to your skin tone = invisible.
Best bets:
-
Cream Tan or Macchiato depending on your tone
-
Thong for zero lines
-
Seamless Bodysuit for full smooth coverage
How often should I replace my underwear?
If it’s stretched out, has holes, or makes you feel blah, it’s time. As a rule:
-
Replace every 6–12 months
-
Rotate with a few faves to avoid overwearing
-
Look for signs like loose elastic, pilling, or fading
Pro tip: Ola’s 5 for $80 bundles make a top-drawer refresh feel like a gift to yourself.
