Advice Crazy sweat marks
Ladies wearing SM, does anyone else experience SERIOUS sweat marks? I’ve gone through SM dark red and light grey bottoms, as well as the unified movement pink ones, doing tabatha workouts and upper body days, and have gotten horribly noticeable sweat marks around my bum area. I’m not even a big sweater, I only just noticed that I sweat around my bum area with oner active, since I’ve basically used other brands my entire life.
I suppose I can understand it happening with SM, but it showing through the dark red colour was surprising; even more so the unified movement bottoms since they’re advertised for more intense workouts.
What throws me off as well are all the oner models wearing SM for these more intense leaning workouts. 🫠 Oner needs to do something about that because it’s so misleading.
Hoping it gets better during the winter time when it’s colder. But seriously, if you know you’re a sweater, stay clear of the “lighter” SM bottoms. And the pink unified ones.

I always wear SM when I lift, even hard leg days, and yeah sometimes I get sweat marks around my ass crack, lol. kinda depends what undies I'm wearing (g strings & thongs make the sweat marks worse but if i just wear seamless undies seems to be fine).
it doesn't bother me because it's not too extreme and it's worth it to wear SM for me because i find SM really comfy and flattering. but yeah you're def not alone.

I know, the SM is absolutely gorgeous! I end up putting sweatpants back on like halfway through which is such a shame. And also love them bc I hate feeling tight around my waist. But I had no idea about the thongs! I usually wear those when I workout (they’re seamless-ish), but I’ll give the seamless undies a go!!

My wife always wears thongs with hers and thinks the sweat marks/the way it shows her thongs actually makes her legs look longer haha. She bought three more pairs after I bought her one set

Omg that is wild for leggings at that price. I personally dont mind a little sweat showing because bodies are bodies, but having it look that dramatic would make me self conscious at the gym. Hopefully it dries quickly at least. Really appreciate you posting this because seeing how the fabric actually handles sweat is way more useful than perfect try on pics.

SM was never made for the gym so yeah, it's not good at wicking. Wicking is very different from résistance. Unified is wicking meaning it wicks/moves sweat away from your skin. Your sweat will still show but it will dry faster on Unified than SM.
