How to Select Gymnastics Undergarments

Selecting leotards that fit your body well and represent your personal style is only the beginning. You don't have a fully functional gym outfit without select gymnastics accessories, including a gymnastics bra and gymnastics underwear.

The following tips will help you select the right undergarments to complement your gym wardrobe:

• - Gymnastics Bras: Most athletes wear a gymnastics sports bra to ensure the breasts are held firmly in place and don't interfere with running, jumping or tumbling. Bras for gymnasts typically offer minimum coverage with seamless lines that aren't obvious through a leotard. You can buy bras with clear plastic shoulder and back straps to minimize visibility..


• - Gymnastics Underwear: Gymnasts should wear underwear designed to fit discretely under a leotard. Briefs are typically made from nylon and spandex, so they cling to the body and aren't easily seen from the top. They should fit high on the hip and rest at the smallest point of the waistline.
