Breathable Compression Shorts for Lifting in the Gym
Posted: Wed May 13, 2026 1:19 am
Hi All,
Do folks have any recommendations for any lifting compression shorts for the gym? They need to be breathable for workouts, I prefer a higher rise, drawstring, and side pockets.
I use Lululemon Wondertrain tights for the gym for all workouts - super comfortable. They have women's WunderTrain shorts; though, they do not have pockets. (It's hard for me to justify expensive compression shorts without pockets; though, I would if they were absolutely perfect.)
I would wear them commando or potentially with a G-string. Preferable color black.
I have Iuga 6" compression shorts with pockets, and I wear these around the house. The problem is, they do not have a drawstring, which for me is mandatory for the gym. They fit great for around the house; though, ideally I would like something with a drawstring, pockets, breathable, preferably with a higher rise
I do not like CW-X tights or shorts as they are not breathable and get hot and swampy.
