Do these run true to size?
Yes, these run true to size. Lunalae pole wear is designed with a compressive fit that supports movement and holds its shape through repeated use. If you prefer a less compressive fit, size up one.
How does this perform during pole training?
The embedded silicone grip sits against the pole for traction during climbs and tricks, while the hole at the back allows skin contact for grip during holds. The 1.2cm padding cushions landings and floorwork without restricting movement.
What should I know before wearing the Sticky Silicone Knee Pads for the first time?
Ensure the knee pad sits centred on the knee with the silicone side facing outward. If adjustable, set the garter straps so the pad sits snugly without restricting circulation. The silicone grip activates on first contact with the pole, so no break-in is needed before training.
What is this made from and how do I care for it?
The fabric backing is soft and stretchy. The grip surface is silicone. Wipe the silicone side clean with a damp cloth after each session to remove skin oils and pole grip products that reduce tack over time. Hand wash the fabric backing in cold water and air dry flat. With regular cleaning the silicone maintains its grip and the pad holds up well through regular training.
What do customers say about this style?
Customers highlight the grip performance and ease of use as the main positives. The padding is consistently noted as protective without being bulky. The silicone grip is praised as effective for both pole contact and floorwork.
What else should I add to my pole bag alongside the Sticky Silicone Knee Pads?
These knee pads pair with any Lunalae training set for floorwork and knee trick protection. They work particularly well alongside the Lure You High Waisted Garter Shorts, the Kehlani High Waist Bottom or the Bellani Bottom. Add Pole Freaks Clear Liquid Chalk (available in the Pole Accessories collection at Shoefreaks) for extra grip during training to complete the kit.
