Oh friends, please help. We had to buy a used meet leotard for my daughter as she grew like 5" since we bought her original one last year. She just turned 10 and definitely sweats, but doesn't really have that tween/teen true body odor yet. So she wore the used leo for a meet this weekend and...
DD’s team switched Leo’s this year from Alpha Factor to GK. Not only was it twice as expensive, but the gemstones are falling off like crazy! I am a hand washer, usually just the armpit and crotch areas with a tiny bit of soap. I am trying to be super gentle, but I feel like any time a gemstone...
Hi,
I'm new to the whole leotard thing and have found a ladder and a hole on the inside layer of this one. Any tips on fixing it? Do I just sew up the hole at the end or should I try to put something over it and/or the ladder rip? See pictures for details.
Thanks in advance!!
Did anyone else happen to see Riley’s leo for podium training? I know MG Elite pushes the boundaries in regards to their leos, but this one seems unsafe. She was constantly pulling and tugging at the top during training. I would think that this would raise safety concerns because if the gymnast...
My daughter was just measured for her competition leotard and I was told she measured as a child intermediate. I have never ordered Leo's through alpha factor before and I'm a little concerned because she usually wears an adult xs in gk. Is it possible to have that much of a difference between...
DD didn't have a gk leo last season so it's been 2 years since she's been measured for a gk comp leo. I measured her as an AXS leo and she was at the bottom of the torso range.
She tried on the sizing stuff that gk sent and the AXS leo was extremely tight. So she tried on the AS which was a...
Some of my daughter’s Child medium GK leos are are getting too short on her even though they’re still a bit loose width-wise. She’s on the slender side though not super skinny. She has one Plum leo and that fits better. Are there other leo brands that fit slender girls well?
Do most teen gymnasts wear underwear under their leotards? I'm 17 and I never wear underwear under my leotards. But I have some leotards, mostly the GK Elite GymTech leos that are so thin that when I put my eyes against the fabric I see right through it. When I wear these leos I usually wear...
HELP! DD is in acro and both her leos have mesh sleeves. LOTS of bling on the leos, so full scale washing is out of the question. I washed the armpits of both leos in woolite and they still stink. Any ideas short of febrezing them???
Does anybody else find a certain “elite” gym with a high social media presence to have inappropriate leos? Leos are skimpy enough, why are they constantly wearing leos that could show way too much if a strap slipped, etc? All this lingerie styling on little girls is disturbing to me. If the 18...
I am a 15 year old girl. I never wore underwear under my leo, but I started wearing some when I was 14, because...you know, it’s more comfortable. But the underwear lines and the bunchiness (is that a word), really bug me. I’m not sure which underwear would work best, so if anyone has any...
My DD's gym ordered some but literally sold out in a couple of hours :eek: her face just lit up whenshe saw this leo. Id love to surprise her at christmas. :D any idea where i can order it?? Tia
I’m interested to hear what other’s opinions are about girls sharing competition leotards as they get into their teen years. If they could be washed and dried in the washing machine and dryer I wouldn’t have an issue with it. But every comp leo I’ve seen must be hand washed. I’m uncomfortable...
