Rock Climbing: Marks & Spencer Brazilian Cut Undies

($19.90, Marks & Spencer)

These sleek, lightweight undies are smooth and undetectable. Nobody will be able to see your lumps and bumps as you scale the wall.

2018 SFG finalist Tiffany Soithongsuk says, “It reduces VPL while providing coverage and comfort. I have a very curvy bum, so other styles cut into my skin and don’t sit well.”

Boxing: Under Armour Women’s UA Speedpocket 2-in-1 Short

($69, Under Armour)

These two-in-one shorts are great for kicking and jumping in – they come with compression shorts on the inside and a loose-fit outer layer. Plus, the fabric wicks away sweat and keeps odour at bay.

2017 SFG finalist Gillian Goh says, “It’s super secure and sometimes, I use it as an underwear beneath my tights when my martial arts training gets vigorous.”
