What the AI looks for in Girls' Athletic Underwear

Fabric
Polyester or nylon with spandex, or cotton mesh, rather than plain heavy cotton Plain cotton holds sweat and chafes once it is wet; wicking or mesh fabric stays drier.
Seams and waistband
Flat seams, covered or tagless waistband Raised seams and tags rub during running and jumping.
Coverage for the sport
Boyshort or longer leg under skirts, leotards and gym shorts Prevents ride-up and gives modesty during cartwheels, splits and slides.
Sizing
Size by the brand's girls' chart, not by age alone Girls' sizing varies a lot between brands, and a loose fit shifts during activity.

Brands that matter

  • Fruit of the Loom: Affordable multipacks, including breathable mesh lines.
  • Under Armour: Synthetic wicking base layers and sports bras for serious practice.
  • Hanes: Everyday girls' basics in tagless multipacks.
  • Yellowberry: Bras and underwear designed specifically for girls going through puberty.

What to avoid

  • Heavy all-cotton underwear for long sports sessions
  • Lace or decorative trims that chafe during activity
  • Sizing up to grow into, since loose underwear rides up and bunches
