powerlifting singlets for women

[HaileyAragon]

I have my first meet in about three weeks and I ordered a small non supportive singlet from Inzer. The small was said to fit 114-145 lbs. (I thought this was a big weight difference for it not being very stretchy material) but I got it. I currently weigh 143lbs and I am 5'1. I have short big legs and a really long torso. I wasn't too surprised that It is snug on my thighs, but the shoulder straps pull and I know there must be taller people out there who wear this. It also it makes my breasts look weird (boobs are another reason I think the shoulder straps are tight) and it feels like my crotch is getting pulled upward. I know it's supposed to be snug but will this thing break in? Also, my biggest question:
Is there another brand that makes a singlet for women or is more compatible for women that I can use at my next meet?

congrats, you've tried on your 1st simglet. That's how it's supposed to fit
Don't overthink it. Just put it on, train with it a couple times, and wear it at the meet.
Also there's no such thing as a "women's singlet". They're just singlets

I couldn't find any women's powerlifting singlet so I got the Asics women's modified wrestling singlet on Amazon. I'm the same size as you! I got it in large and it fits perfectly. In fact, it makes your boobs look good. Check your fed's rules but if it is a local meet, it should be fine. Best of all, it's cheap. Good luck at the meet!

It's been years since I shopped for a singlet, but last I checked 'powerlifting' singlets were just overpriced wrestling singlets.

I'd go with the women's wrestling singlet if you're truly unsatisfied with what you've got.

As others mentioned, a wrestling singlet is fine. And yes, those do come in a women's cut. I got a basic women's cut singlet from here, and it's not a bad fit at all.

Does that women's cut have a horribly tight thigh elastic? That is what annoys me the most with most commercial non-Inzer singlets I've run across- everything fits great until that damn elastic that seems about 5 sizes smaller than the rest of the leg fabric and will be cutting into my skin by the end of a meet.

But I put up with this one for the lulz:



Have one of these on order in purple (of course), hoping that it's cut differently from all the other one's I've run across:

OP - I also get lotsa crotch wedgie with the Inzer singlet, dunno how guys can wear it But I like to imagine it gives me some rebound out of the hole, lol.

Are they like that for everyone? I figured it was just tight because I have chunky monkey thighs

That having been said, the legs on those are long enough I just cut off the bottom with the tight elastic and refinished it with a strip of my own (at a non circulation-removing level of tightness).
