\"\"<\/p>\n

As a woman and a grappler, it has come to my attention when shopping for grappling spats<\/a> or vale tudo shorts (i.e. anything figure-hugging and lycra) that finding garments that don’t accentuate certain parts of the body you’d rather avoid bringing attention to is like trying to locate a needle in a haystack.<\/p>\n

When training, lycra can be the most comfortable garment to wear. It doesn’t ride up, it stretches if you happen to gain a few pounds and it can even help you move around an opponent easier and provides little grip for your opponent to use to their advantage. I love my pair of Bad Boy VT shorts and I’ve since been trying to find some extra vale tudo shorts<\/a> to purchase but I’ve encountered a big issue and it’s mostly to do with seams.<\/p>\n

A lot of vale tudo shorts out there cater to men and assume your packing a groin guard and are presented in such a way that the front groin area is in a contrast colour and the seams allow for this ‘addition’. Problem is, we ladies don’t possess a ‘package’ so these shorts look daft if worn by us. To offer a solution, some companies out there have made vale tudo shorts for ladies – “GREAT!” Or at least that’s what I initially thought…<\/p>\n

It’s becoming clear that women may not have been considered when making women’s vale tudo shorts, as daft as that sounds. Why, I hear you ask? Well, as a woman, the last place I would want a seam is one that goes straight down the centre line of the crotch but this appears to be a pattern that many brands have gone for. <\/p>\n

When wearing lycra bottoms with no clothing over the top, we women always check one thing: am I sporting a camel toe<\/strong>? Yes, guys, the “toe” is a real fear and is something which women want to avoid showcasing when they’re training at the gym, especially in a room full of guys. So why is it that many sportswear companies and, in particular to this conversation, fightwear brands have decided to create garments that draw attention and accentuate a lady’s private area? Surely it has occurred to those in the design department that this may not be a good idea? Well, it appears not as a look through at the catalogue of some of the biggest brands in the fightwear business shows that a centre-line seam is the go-to option – worse still, sometimes with contrast stitching accentuating it too!<\/p>\n

If you run your own fightwear brand or designer for one, please take the following feedback on board for when creating lycra leggings, spats or vale tudo shorts for women:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do not place a seam that goes from crotch to crack. <\/strong>If you do, all it does is make the obvious stand out even more, bunching up and causing the camel toe we seriously want to avoid.<\/li>\n
  2. If possible, use thicker material or line the crotch area<\/strong>. This again will stop the lycra from sucking up into crevices, giving us the unwanted crotch cleavage.<\/li>\n
  3. If making female fight shorts\/board shorts for women, fit a lycra stretch crotch<\/strong>. This stops any seam that may be placed through the centreline from riding upwards, which can cause discomfort. Not only is a stretch crotch more comfortable, it allows full movement without restriction too.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ladies, I wanna hear from you. Can you recommend any fightwear brands or specific styles of Vale Tudo shorts that DO NOT feature a central seam? Leave a message in the comments below!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
