How We Select Products
We focus on activewear and athletic gear designed for or suitable for modest coverage:
- Market research — We track bestsellers and emerging brands in the modest activewear space
- Reader requests — Your suggestions directly shape what we review next
- Expert recommendations — Coaches, trainers, and athletes in our community flag products worth testing
- Inclusivity check — We prioritize brands offering inclusive sizing and diverse options
Our Testing Process
Every product is tested through real workouts and activities:
- Multiple testers — Different body types, activity levels, and workout styles
- Real workout conditions — Gym sessions, outdoor runs, swimming, yoga, HIIT — the actual activities you’d wear these for
- Coverage assessment — Does it stay in place? Does it ride up? Does it maintain coverage during movement?
- Performance testing — Breathability, moisture-wicking, stretch, range of motion
- Wash durability — We wash and re-test to check how products hold up over time
Our Scoring System
Every product receives an overall score out of 10, based on four categories:
- Quality (/10) — Fabric quality, stitching, construction, overall feel
- Value (/10) — Performance and quality relative to price
- Comfort (/10) — Fit, breathability, freedom of movement, all-day wearability
- Durability (/10) — How well it holds up through workouts and washing cycles
We also assess coverage-specific factors: Does it maintain modesty during all movements? Is the fabric opaque when stretched? Does it work for the intended activity?
