Fitness pants?

I don’t know if this even exists but I could do with some kind of wicking pants as I get so sweaty. Has anyone come across such a garment to wear under their workout leggings? Thanks

Adidas do them and I’ve also got some from sweaty Betty and Nike or just go commando. If you’re leggings/ shorts are squat proof I wouldn’t worry about it.

@Autumnlifewhat leggings are squatproof? I’ve not heard the term before. I’ve just got mine from TK Maxx or Uniqlo and, as long as the crotch doesn’t slip down when I run they pass the test. Maybe I’m missing out on an amazing product though? I do CrossFit for the record.

It very easy to test the squat proof leggings just hold them against a bright light and stretch them if the light is visible so is your body. Hard to explain but Nike, adidas and sweaty Betty power leggings are all squat proof. I’ve been wearing these brands forever and they’ve always been brilliant and very hard wearing. All of those brands are the best in my opinion.
I’ve seen many ladies in the gym unknowingly exposing themselves which is mortifying. If you’re wanting to test what you’ve already got put them on in front of a mirror and squat sideways on or film yourself bending over place your phone on a bed or chair.

Ok I definitely need to. I’m in a class with load of blokes! I might get some Sweaty Bettys for Xmas. Are they true to size? I normally choose M or 12 trousers or size 40.

Get them in the clearance bit not sure which size you might need I have the small in the power leggings and generally wear size 10. So I think you’d be a medium.

@AutumnlifeJust wanted to thank you for the Nike recommendations. I got a couple of pairs in the sale and they are so much better than what I have been wearing.
