Can You Wear Underwear With a Gymnastics Leotard?

While many gymnasts wear undergarments during practice, most gymnasts prefer not to wear traditional undergarments beneath their leotards during competition.

Undergarments tend to move around and become exposed during routines which can distract the gymnast and lead to point deductions from the judges.

Trying to conceal an undergarment during competition can be quite challenging, so most gymnast choose to go without.

Gymnasts uncomfortable with the idea of not wearing undergarments often wear flesh-toned thongs, high-cut panties or Y-back underpants.
