Ice Skating |


Most skaters and gymnasts worry about longevity in a sport of high impact falls that can't be avoided during serious training. They also will not accept the bulky appearance or the feel of hard plastic found in most hip pads. Waxel Pads give you both the protection and soft impact you need when you fall and the 1/2" pads are almost unnoticeable to the casual observer. Best of all the pads are very light in weight. Waxel pads also provide great protection for inline skaters, roller derby skaters, skateboarders, skiers, sledders and snowboarders.
Waxel Pads are anatomically shaped and are made of a soft high impact foam, not a wafer thin polymer of hard plastic or gel. With Waxel Pads you have a strong and extremely flexible high impact foam covering to protect your hips or tailbone/lower spine. The pads are available in 3 sizes & thicknesses and are designed to last for many years of daily use.
Waxel Pads are available in 1/2", 3/4" and 1" thicknesses. The key to the design is that Waxel Pads have one smooth side and one rough side. They are worn with the smooth side facing out and the rough side facing in. The pads simply won't slip or slide. Because they are worn inside your tights, shorts or undergarments with the smooth side away from the body, Waxel Pads require no retention pants to hold them in position. The anatomical design allows for flexibility and comfort. The pads are easy to use & easy to remove. You simply place the pads where you need the protection most. The pads also help protect you from bruising and from long term abuse to your body and bones. Waxel Pads are also great for building your confidence and speed.
We have nine separate choices for each design of Waxel Pads (right hip, left hip & tailbone) based on both their size (small, medium and large) and their thickness (1/2 &inch;, 3/4 &inch; and 1 &inch;). If you buy a set of 3 pads we will also include a bonus set of slender ankle pads with your order. The ankle pads are great for breaking in a new pair of boots or for temporary protection for bruised and/or tender ankles, elbows and knees.
Size Chart - Gymnasts generally use the 1/2" pads during training and warmups and remove them during actual competitions. Inline skaters, roller skaters, skateboarders, skiers, sledders and snowboarders will get better protection from the 3/4" and 1" pads. The weight ranges listed below are useful in choosing the best size for your needs.
