No. No underpants. Just like tights are the underwear for girls the dancebelt is the underwear for boys.

While I am not a parent of a boy... I am a male ballet dancer <smile>.
The dancebelt goes on first, then the leotard over the dancebelt. Everything will fit where it needs to - leotards & dancebelts are not super thick pieces of fabric (such as denim)... there will be a little more material than before, but nothing to worry about.
You have the dancebelt (with thong) as a first layer and then the leotard (with thong). Do you also have underpants as layer zero?

No, the dance belt is the very bottom (zero) layer.

I just saw a combined white leo plus nude dance belt. I believe it's made by WearMoi and I saw it at Boys Dance Too (though maybe it's available elsewhere). I plan to order one for ds next week and see how he likes it. There are boys' and men's sizes.

I looked at the combination shirt/dance belt. My son tends to wear out the shirts twice as fast as the dance belts, so I am going to keep buying them separately. It does look interesting though.

Connection to/Interest in Ballet:Parent of a Ballet Boy

Thanks for your information about the leotards and dance belts. My son has been wearing full seated dance belts but these have recently become less comfortable, I think because his glutes are so well developed and the full seat dance belt isn't cut for that, so he has moved on to thong dance belts and says these are more comfortable now. I have suggested that maybe it is time to give the thong leotards a try but he won't have that at the moment so I got him to read your post as a little food for thought.

As far as cleaning them goes ... I just toss my DS stuff in wash. Warm water delicate cycle then line dry. Them seem to last and come out clean.

Abbey, How did the combination work out? I'd debating ordering one for my son but wanted to read a review first.
