As a center back, she slides to tackle frequently, and these shorts give her the protection she needs to hit the ground without worrying about scrapes or burns.

I highly recommend them!"

"I thought I could trust the reviews, but my experience was disappointing. My daughter felt so embarrassed when these shorts failed her, especially with white softball pants. It was frustrating dealing with blood when they didn't provide the coverage we expected, and she has a light flow!"

"My daughter loves the texture of these sliding shorts. She appreciates the thicker waistband for added comfort when sliding. While she noticed they are visible through white softball pants, she's happy to wear them with her black pants. Overall, I believe it was a great purchase."

"I got a size small for my 11-year-old daughter. The material feels durable and stretchy, and my daughter finds it very comfortable. There’s a sticky elastic band along the inner trim that helps keep the shorts from riding up. The woven pockets of padding are just enough to be cushiony without being bulky, allowing her to slide, run, and move easily."

"The padding is nice and thick, but the sizing was way off. The texture of the padding can be seen through softball/baseball pants, which isn’t ideal. The waist and thigh areas felt tight and uncomfortable, leading me to return the item."

"My daughter plays softball and basketball. She regularly gets fouled on the court and ends up on the ground; she also slides in softball a lot. These compression shorts have been great for her. She said that they are comfortable, don't ride up, and provide good cushioning. I think they have washed well and are true to size. I would recommend!"

"I bought the OMG Girls softball sliders for my granddaughter, and they have been an absolute game-changer!

These sliders are a fantastic addition to her softball gear, and I'd highly recommend them!"

"I got these for my daughter for softball. They fit perfect and she wasn't too hot in them. The material breathes very well and kept her cool. They also helped with the impact of sliding into home. I would definitely recommend to any softball players."

"My son loves how they fit tight, which is exactly what we wanted."

"I ordered a small for my 14-year-old, but it didn’t fit him. However, they fit my 12-year-old, who weighs 100 lbs and is 5' tall. He likes them, so I decided to keep them. They seem like decent sliding pants with a secure cup holder and some padding on the sides."
