So, I desperately need some new gym pants, currently I swear Nike Capris and went to get some new ones today but they have changed the style a little, luckily I tried them on and deep squatted in the change room because when I looked back in the mirror I copped a lovely view of my g-string as the seat of the capris stretched and became see-through.

I have seen this happen to others at the gym (usually when they are on the stationary bikes) and always assumed they were wearing cheap tights. I then popped my old pair back on and did the same squat, looked back and to my delight I had near to no but crack exposure, so at least I have not been offending anyone while I perform my deep barbell back squats. (If I have they must have been looking pretty hard )

So, what do I wear on my squat days? Should I turn to a heavier track pant? Does anyone know of a capri tight that doesn't go see through when stretched? Or should I just suck it up and bare my cheeks with pride?

As a side note, as there is a hint of transparency in my old favs when stretched into a deep squat, I sure am glad I don't go commando ;-)

I love my skirt sports capris: they're normal capris but with a skirt covering your bum. I think they're cute and stylish and they fit and wear very well.

This is the official AU store but you can get them elsewhere for cheaper: http://injinjiper.cart.net.au/store/skirt-...ze-capri-skirt/

Lorna Jane tights,
Bloch tights.
You need tights that are heavier for want of a better term.

Generally with tights, if I can push my hand into them in the a*se and see my hand I don't buy them as they will be see through.

If I can't see my hand, I buy them.

I knew one day I would have to bite the bullet and try LJ, i might pop into the Lj store tomorrow. I am sad to give up my fav trusty Nike brand :-(

I can't imagine liking the skirts, maybe for running (which I dont have the see through problem with anyway) but not squatting, lunging and deadlifting.

I'll apply this technique in the future :-)

Running Bare is pretty good too.

I have the Myer branded pants. Nice and thick, and not too expensive.

I assume by tights others mean legging type things, not the things with feet in that you wear under skirts and dresses?

I have running bare thick cotton 3/4 pants and Nike 3/4 running leggings with the air vent at the waistband and they are nice and thick with no chance of going see through when squatting.

ooooh, I like the look of the Bloch tights, to scared to buy online without trying them on.

I'll make a list and go check out Rebel and Lorna Jane. Thanks everyone,
