It depends on the age of the gymnast, the comfort of the gymnast, and whether it is a competition. If it is a competition and the gymnast needs underwear, there are special skin colored ones because any underwear showing can be cause for a .10 deduction (same goes for bra straps showing). If the gymnast is comfortable, underwear is really not necessary until puberty hits.

Actually it is highly recommended especially since most leotards are made of synthetic fabrics or synthetic mixes, which alone can cause many infections and rashes.
Cotton underwear should be worn.

∙ 11y agoYou don't HAVE to. It's not required in the USAG / FIG rules. However, for any young lady over a certain age, it's recommended to maintain modesty (not to show pubic hair or labia). Most US elite and international competitors wear one of the following:
1. a full "liner", like another leotard. Usually black, white or flesh-tone.
2. briefs, cut like the bottom half of the leotard. Usually black, white, flesh-tone, or matching the main color or the leotard. Many leotard manufacturers make panties like this (e.g. GK Elite, Alpha Factor).
3. thong or "g-string" panties. These avoid the problem of underwear showing (which can be a points deduction).
