Parents Shorts Recommendations

[GymDadWA]

I searched the forums but all the threads look pretty old and outdated, does anyone have updated recommendations for shorts to wear over their leos? DD has been wearing her school leggings at practice, at first she said she was cold, but mom and I suspected it is because she is uncomfortable. We got her some thin spandex bike shorts but DD said they bunch too much but did confirm it was an exposure/wedgie thing. Are velvet shorts still the best option for shorts that don't bunch? The GK ones seem really pricey and not sure whom else makes shorts that work well for gymnastics.

Nike Pro. The only time my daughter doesn't wear them for gymnastics is at a meet.

My dd wears the Nike pro as well. She also wears under armour heat gear 3” shorts.

My daughter wears Nike pro as well. And I like them because foam doesn’t stick to them.

Nike Pro or Athleta are my DD's faves. But not sure if either are cheaper than the GK velvet ones.

I think the Nike Pro and Athleta are going to be the same price as the GK. I'm assuming your daughter is on the younger side. When my daughter was younger we bought a lot of GK shorts, but what she preferred were the shorts they sold at Kohl's to go under dresses They are a thin material, don't bunch and are about $5 a pair. They are in the girl's underwear section.

Do you have an Academy Sports near you? Their house brand volleyball shorts are around $5 a pair and work well. My daughter wears them for both gymnastics and cheer.

We have a couple pairs from Target, a pair from Soffe outlet, and a couple pairs by Capezio that we got off Amazon (free shipping and few returns thanks to Prime, which helped find the right size). We also have a couple pairs of the velvet GK ones, but we got those from a consignment sale so only a few dollars.

Thanks everyone, we'll give the Nike's a try.
