This is the real answer. Optimize for comfort. Don’t worry so much about aesthetics.
Comment on What should I consider before choosing the right tanga or string to work out with leggings?

If you’re actually working out, nobody cares about what you look like and comfort is more important than any other consideration.
If you’re using the gym as a place to meet people, nobody you would actually want to meet cares about lines in your clothing.
In other words, the lines you’re concerned with have been put there by advertisers wanting to sell you more stuff.

You do understand that someone not wanting their underwear to show through their outerwear isn’t necessarily about attracting attention, right?
The way they phrased the post points to not wanting to attract attention.
So, while it would be nice if every woman (or man tbh) could go to the gym and work out without some asshole eyeballing them because they made the mistake of not taking the extra step of minimizing the visibility of their panties, the world isn’t currently like that.
Women get unwanted attention in some gyms to begin with. And, as you said, “nobody you would actually want to meet cares about lines in your clothing”, but the ones that do care are the ones you don’t want to meet, and are more likely to cross lines.
Be realistic here. You’re assuming a woman asking about underwear visibility is seeking attention. That’s the same kind of thinking as the ones that would see underwear lines and go bother a woman. “Oh, look at those panty lines, she’s advertising.”
That’s some crappy thinking right out of the gate.
