Benefits of technology

The disclosed garment is a special sports garment that has two layers of fabric. This garment allows for secure and spacious carriage of several sports balls, which is particularly useful for female wearers. The second layer of material reinforces the backside of the garment, providing additional support. The optional high stretch and high-support inside control layer in the thigh area provides additional control and lifting effect to the wearer, without extending the layer into the crotch area. This makes the garment more comfortable for the wearer and allows for better breathability of the skin in the crotch area.

Problems solved by technology

When engaged in practicing sports such as tennis, or playing a match, players often face the problem of not having enough space, in the pockets of their sports garments, to fit in their tennis balls in a convenient and secure way.
Also, when engaged in tennis practice and match playing, female players are often confronted to the problem of not being able to find some undergarment that gives sufficient support to their behind.
A similar issue may occur when playing squash or any other type of ball sports, where the ball is of a size small enough to fit into the pockets of sports garments.
