The Change of Clothes in Your Gym Bag – Underwear and Socks

Short answer: A clean change of clothes in your gym bag, underwear and socks as a minimum, makes the difference between a clammy trip home and a fresh end to your workout. If you choose bamboo, the set takes up no space at all and keeps you dry and odour free for the rest of the day.

Why a change of clothes is underrated

After training and a shower, it is a waste to jump back into damp underwear and sweaty socks. The moisture leads to clamminess, odour and irritated skin. A permanent set in your bag solves it, see bamboo underwear for men and bamboo socks for men.

Why bamboo is the obvious choice for your bag

Bamboo viscose is light, takes up minimal space and keeps the skin dry while your body is still warm after the shower. The material also controls odour, so your bag does not end up smelling of the changing room. Read why the material beats polyester and cotton in the post about bamboo for training.

Complete the set

Add a fresh bamboo T-shirt and you are dressed for the rest of the day. Women will find the equivalent basics under bamboo underwear for women.

Frequently asked questions

What should I bring as a change of clothes for training?

Clean underwear and socks as a minimum, ideally with a T-shirt as well. Choose moisture-wicking materials so you stay dry after your shower.

Why bamboo rather than cotton in the gym bag?

Bamboo viscose keeps the skin dry, while cotton soaks up moisture and turns clammy. Bamboo also controls odour, so your bag stays fresh.

Can I train in bamboo underwear?

Yes, the breathable properties make them well suited for most exercise. For hard sport many people prefer a close-fitting model that stays in place.
