DOES THIS KNEE PAD SLIDE SIDE TO SIDE?

Like any knee pads, MyStyle may shift slightly during movement. However, choosing the correct size and adjusting them properly helps minimize sliding.

Both models have silicone grips on the inside of the straps to help keep them in place.

Because MyStyle knee pads fasten below the knee, they may temporarily flip or shift during certain movements, such as kick-ups. They should return to their normal position when you straighten your leg.

DO THESE KNEE PADS PROVIDE ENOUGH PROTECTION?

MyStyle knee pads were designed to provide cushioning for floorwork while keeping the knee area open for pole grip.

They feature 12 mm EVA foam padding and are suitable for many familiar dance movements, including slides, kips, and controlled knee landings.
However, no knee pad can prevent every injury. Protection depends on your technique, the surface, the movement, and your individual needs.

For learning unfamiliar tricks, practicing high-impact landings, or movements requiring full knee coverage, I recommend using traditional knee pads with thicker cushioning and more coverage.

ARE THESE KNEE PADS GOOD FOR FLOORWORK DANCE?

-These knee pads were specifically designed for pole dancers who require comfort on both the pole and the floor. Therefore, they should be suitable for floorwork dancers as well. However, the level of comfort may vary from person to person. Please consider the previous question for additional guidance.

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE?

Start by measuring your leg according to the size chart on the product page.
If your measurement falls exactly between two sizes, I usually recommend sizing down because the straps and fabric have some stretch.

However, you may prefer sizing up if you’re 170 cm (5’7”) or taller, have muscular calves, or simply prefer a larger protective pad and a looser fit.
The larger size has a slightly larger cushion.

If you’re unsure, feel free to contact me for help!

WHAT IF MY KNEE PADS FEEL TOO SMALL?

If you’re between sizes, the smaller size may initially feel tighter than expected.
Before deciding to exchange them, gently stretch the knee pad from side to side with your hands, then try fastening it again.
The material will stretch slightly and become more comfortable after the first few wears.

Please note: sizing up means starting closer to the end of the velcro, leaving less room for tightening later.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN N1 AND N2?

Both models feature an open-knee design and protective cushioning, but they have different fastening systems.

N1 (Elastic Band): A simple elastic fastening system with a minimal look behind the knee. It’s especially convenient under tall boots and for dancers who prefer less hardware.

N2 (Adjustable Strap): Features an adjustable Velcro strap with a metal hook, allowing you to customize the fit. It’s easy to put on and remove without taking off your heels.

N1 is available in black, while N2 comes in a variety of colors and prints.

HOW SHOULD I WEAR MY MYSTYLE KNEE PADS?

Wear the knee pads with the triangle pointing upward toward your thigh and the strap positioned below your knee.

For the N2 model, make sure the logo tag and metal hook are positioned on the outside of your leg.
Proper positioning helps prevent the hook from pressing into your skin when bending your knee or gripping the pole. It also reduces friction between the hardware and the pole and minimizes stress on the leather tab, helping your knee pads last longer.

HOW CAN I WASH MY STYLE KNEE PADS?

Hand washing in cool or lukewarm water (up to 30°C / 86°F) is recommended.
If machine washing, use a delicate cycle with cold water and place the knee pads in a mesh laundry bag.

For N2, fasten the Velcro before washing to help prevent damage to the fabric and fastening system.
Avoid bleach, high temperatures, and tumble drying. Lay flat on a towel and allow them to air dry completely.

Important: Some fabrics may release excess dye, especially during the first wash. Wash separately and avoid wearing new, unwashed knee pads over light-colored clothing.

Please Note: The fabric of our knee pads is dyed during manufacturing and may release excess dye. To avoid potential color transfer, we recommend not wearing them over light-colored leggings until they have been washed.

HOW LONG DO THESE KNEE PADS LAST?

It depends on how often you dance, the intensity of your training, and the type of movements you practice.
Based on a small customer survey, 72% of respondents reported that their MyStyle knee pads lasted at least 6 months before they felt they needed replacing, with 32% reporting over a year of use!
Over time, the straps may stretch, the cushioning may gradually compress, and the materials may show signs of wear.

I continuously work on improving MyStyle’s durability based on my own experience and customer feedback.
I recommend replacing your knee pads when the cushioning no longer provides adequate protection or the materials become significantly worn.
