(Part 2) Best exercise & fitness apparel for women according to redditors

Nike sparkle tights. I got them from Amazon!

Its def an athletic style, leaning more masc. a lot of what she wears is “boy” clothing, or more sort of neutral. Never anything overtly fem aside from her crop tops.

She also seems to wear a lot of reds, yellows, and blues. As someone with a similar style, there’s a few things you could search for to get similar outfits. I get a lot from amazon; for this season, you can search for like women’s fall clothing, and pick out what you think matches the style best. She also wears the occasional striped polo. Idk if you present masc or fem, but if you typically present more fem, just be prepared maybe a comment or two. I present fem, but def more tomboyish, and I still would be tiny bit nervous to wear just a polo and jeans, but that’s just me. Obviously you are free to do what you want. Here’s a few links to clothes that I have that I think are similar style if you’re interested:

Here’s one that I got because of her style in the show, from 2x2 I believe http://usa-wear.com/ostore/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=60

Ok, reposting because I accidentally used a referral somewhere. Hopefully this doesn't have one:

Did you try the ones designed for working out? What was the brand that fell apart?

For good reviews: here / here / here (These look like they should hand washed or at least lingerie bagged for the machine)

Here are a few more options without reviews / here / here

I'd recommend going to a big box store like Dick's or Sports Authority so you can see and feel the material before you buy it since workout underwear really seems to be hit or miss.

I prefer the seat headrests for "car stuff" and agree that $10-15 is tough to find gifts for because of licensing fees.

Of course you could give him these

I miss the C9 shorts too. I'm pretty sure I know which ones you're talking about as well, and I have a few pair that are still going strong after 6 years. Hell, I'm cheap too. Why pay $45 for 1 pair or shorts if I can get a comparable pair for less?

Not sure where you're based, here are a few options I've been looking into:

• Dick's sporting goods is having their summer clearance sale right now, and I see several kinds Nike Tempo shorts for $15. My thighs are just ever so slightly too thick to use them as running shorts (no flaps, so they ride up)
  
  
• Old Navy has really highly rated fitness gear that I'm planning on buying soon (I've been eyeing their 5 star rated compression tights), and shorts are $25 or less. Can't tell if the midrise ones have a key flap :(
  
  
• Amazon (and REI) has UA Flyby and Play Up 2.0 shorts for <$20 and are nicely rated. Has 2 thigh pockets that fit keys, not exactly the little key flap on the inside though.
  
  
• 6pm also has an incredible selection of shorts for reasonable prices. The addidas Saturday short is on sale for $15 (MSRP $50), is longer in style, and key pocket is on the back, and the Asics Legend 3.5" woven short has key pocket too.
  
  
  ETA: If you can get your hands on some Oiselle shorts, hands down they're my absolute favorite with pockets galore. I know they're running an up to 60% off sale for their spring/summer lines too. I have 3 pair but have never paid more than $30 for a pair on sale.

I’ve tried a few different types and these have been my favorite so far:

Epic MMA Gear Compression Yoga... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0756PK5PX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

(Sorry if the link is wonky, I’m on mobile). Those definitely don’t restrict movement and don’t ride up like some others I’ve tried. I would personally not be comfortable with a thong bc yeah...the shorts are loose and I don’t want to flash anyone while stretching. 😅
Good luck!

well

these

could definitely

be options.

they have underarmour

some lulu

nike...

there's even outside the box stuff

don't forget about the heat

or stuff that's just pretty

We are a 20 minute drive from the hospital and husband will not leave my side, so I'd like to get everything in. I'm a notorious overpacker, too, but I'd rather have something I don't need than have not have something that I do need.
Mom Stuff:

• A nicer hospital gown to make me feel human
  
• Mesh panties
  
• A few non-slip socks
  
• Travel sized makeup & general toilettries
  
• Nursing shirt
  
• Super comfy yoga pants that I can leave with
  
• Heavy flow pads
  
• A few different stool softners
  
• A few different nursing bras
  
• Something to lay down in the car for leaks
  
• Disposable nursing pads
  
• Tucks cooling pads
  
• Spray
  
• Nipple butter
  
• Preperation H wipes
  
• Gel nipple soothing pads
  
• Nursing pillow
  Baby Stuff:
  
• Onesies in different sizes (nb, 0-3)
  
• Hat, socks, mittens
  
• Car seat
  Dad stuff:
  
• He's kindof on his own. I've been telling him for a month that I need his overnight stuff. He finally got some travel toiletries, so I guess we're getting somewhere
  Both
  
• 10ft charging cable
  
• iPads
  
• Kindles
  
• AppleTV (we're still not decided on this though)
  
• Snacks
  
  I think that covers just about everything. I used travel packing cubes to keep all of the clothing items organized, and I already had several different other travel bags that I generally use when actually leaving town, for all of the "other" items. [edited formatting]

I just got a few new, cheap pairs of long spandex shorts on Amazon. Not sure if you'll be able to get these in Ireland, but here you go:

I flew from the UK with one of these folded and strapped to my rucksack.

​

That said you're likely able to find one in Sacramento for sure. Give the usual stores a check and you can probably preorder it and collect from the store itself.

Panache Sport comes in an ever-changing array of colors and patterns. The "boob-armor" style might not suit you, but you'll probably find a color that does.

Other options:
Freya (both Panache and Freya have more styles than just the one underwire version))
Shock Absorber (also look for different styles from them, and check out UK retailers for even more options than are available in the US)

My opinion is that Gap leggings are the best, but Old Navy are a close runner up and less than 1/2 the price, so I go for those. I wore under bump until about 18 weeks and then switched to full panel, but it's all personal preference.

I went with these sports bras, and am loving them. I started at a 32DDD and am now a 34-36G and they still fit fine. Lots of support and still give some shape.

I love these tanks, which are not technically maternity, but have a great amount of stretch. I wear one as an undershirt every day and then wear it to the gym after work so it minimizes my laundry too, lol! I'm 30 weeks right now and they still fit fine, should last my whole pregnancy.

Maybe this

Under Armour Women's HeatGear Armour Long Sleeve, White/Metallic Silver, Small https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A02SXGU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_EMk9Ab9EWCG45

That looks similar? If you have a store with a athletic section near you I would highly recommend trying it on before you buy anything to see how well it covers.

GET THESE LEGGINGS!!! Seriously. They are so warm. No more cold legs in the snow! And they go on and off easy too, which is super nice. Other ones get stuck on ankles but I feel like these one are pretty good about that.

I also second the comment down below about the board game Codenames. I played it for the first time a few weeks ago and it was a blast. I would however suggest it for groups of 6+ people. Can't play with 2, and 4 is possible but just a liiiiiitle bit too few to have a great game. But 6 or more is what you really want when playing it. It sure makes you think pretty hard!

If I end up winning somehow, I actually probably maybe have enough leggings at the moment, so I'll let you pick whatever else off my wishlist. You have the power! I can even PM you my NSFW wishlist.

Why not tiger stripe pants?

Wrong color but is fabric and not completely strapped.

ive tried multiple brands over the years, Taft and invisasox being two of them. Tafts suck, i purchased 2 4 packs and they all have a hard time staying on. Invisasoxs fit great but imo are way too thin. Now im currently using promountains from amazon and theses are hands down the best no shows ever.
