Balanced Tech Hipster Review: A Workout Bikini, a Triangle Logo, Twenty-Four Dollars

We already did Hanes cotton hipsters (sixteen dollars, a logo waist, cotton) and CK Invisibles (seamless, forty-seven). Balanced Tech sells the gym brief: lilac on the body, a three-triangle logo on the hip, a stack of black / lilac / plum in the still. Twenty-four dollars. Fifty-five hundred reviews. A 4.5. The crop top in the still is not in the box. It is not shapewear. It is not cotton. It is nylon that wants a workout and a suitcase.

If you wanted cotton that breathes in August, Hanes. If you wanted a tiny CK logo, CK. If you wanted quick-dry and a waist that does not roll in a squat, stay. Count the pairs in the listing. Size the hip.

The logo is small. The job is sweat.

Their overlays shout moisture-wicking, odor-resistant, travel-friendly, double-layer crotch and waist. Believe nylon/elastane more than a shield icon. A 4.5 at this volume is a still that matches, plus people who wanted cotton and bounced. That bounce is useful: this is not a 5-pack you bleach. The Size Guide is a panty chart. Between, the hip, not a dream waist.

Lilac is a lilac. Black is the commute. Plum is the third color in the stack. The waist sits at the hip, not under the bust. Do not buy it as a Maidenform control brief.

The listing’s own homework. Moisture-wicking is nylon. The crop top is not included.

Why 4.5, vs Hanes, skip

Fifty-five hundred reviews at 4.5 is high for a no-name-to-most logo. The 4.5 will fall if you shop it as cotton or as shapewear. Hanes is the drawer. This is the gym bag. Wash cold, hang, no fabric softener — nylon keeps smell if you cook it.

Who it's for

A squat, a trip, a nylon hipster. Not cotton Hanes, not CK dress seamless, not a $24 shaper. Size the hip, count the pairs, hang the nylon.
