Literally not one person here has said high cut leotards lead to girls being preyed on. Not one. Your posts here are all so inflammatory.

There is really no logical reason not to allow shorts, longer cuts, etc.... it’s preference that is all. As long as they are not a safety hazard no one should care.
Yeah, I call BS on that reason.When I asked about leos vs shorts and shirt during practice, I was told that the leo was safer for spotting reasons as sometimes a coaches hand gets bound up in the shirt/straps/strings etc. I don't see how that would be an issue with the tight shorts though, and in competition spotting shouldn't really be an issue.
The way Leo’s are cut these days, for many thongs might be the only undergarment that would work.My girls have all worn underwear under their leotards. They keep the leotards from moving around and giving wedgies, they keep things more secure during that time of the month, and it keeps the leo from going up their crack. They don't show either.
I remember. They went with biketards from Snowflake ... still not as comfortable as leo and shorts, but the design was definitely consistent down the leg.I'd love to see a coach read this and order shorts with their competition leos. We had a coach on here a few years ago and the owner insisted on unitards. They found something that worked.
which company is this. Brilliant slogan

My issue is not that the leo sets themI realize I’m in the minority here, but I personally don’t care for leos that look like granny panties at the bottom. I think a slightly higher cut hip (not anything outrageous) elongates the legs. Gymnastics leotards have never seemed scandalous to me, and I think all the pearl clutching is going too far. Also please keep in mind predators will prey on people regardless of what they wear. Remember Nassar also molested a softball player.
Growing up my parents didn’t let me wear two-piece swimsuits and I thought it was stupid. If a pedophile is on the beach, they will probably look regardless.
Ideally gymnasts should get a choice of which cut to wear. No one should be shamed for wearing either option.
I find it very beautiful that society now lets us celebrate and show off the female form in sport and everyday life, when less than a century ago figure skaters had to compete in ankle-length skirts. I just don’t want us to move backwards!
Btw I had a biketard (we called them gymsuits back then) and it cut into my crotch really badly, like major cameltoe. I said never again! Lol.
IT depends on getting the right fit and the gusset has to be just right for a biketard to work.I find it very beautiful that society now lets us celebrate and show off the female form in sport and everyday life, when less than a century ago figure skaters had to compete in ankle-length skirts.
