Our knee pads are made from soft nylon and polyester, with a silicone gel pad and silicone liner. Grippy styles also include spandex.

They feature a soft compression-style fabric designed to move with the body while providing support and flexibility. The lightweight construction is intentional so it feels like second skin and does not restrict movement.

Due to the softness of the fabric, our knee pads are not suitable for coarse, damaged, abrasive, or carpeted surfaces. Use on these surfaces may cause friction wear or surface abrasion. Any wear resulting from floor contact or surface conditions is considered normal wear and tear and is not a manufacturing defect.

Because the fabric is intentionally soft, minor pilling or surface fluffing may occur. This is cosmetic only and does not affect performance or protection.

Switching from foam pads to gel pads may feel different at first. Placement can vary depending on knee anatomy, and some users may need a few wears to find their preferred position.

This adjustment period is normal and does not indicate a fault or defect.

Our knee pads are thoughtfully created with design, comfort, and protection in mind, using put very own PolEssentials world-first design.

Gel Pad Construction

All gel pads are heat-sealed into the sleeve, creating a smooth, seamless finish that prevents the pad from shifting during use.

Original Sleeve Gel Knee Pads feature an oval gel pad with small, heat-sealed sections inside the pad cut-out.

Grippy Gel Knee Pads© and V2 Sleeve Gel Knee Pads use a world-first solid, custom-designed gel pad with no gaps, providing consistent protection and accommodating variations in knee and shin anatomy.

Anti-Slip Features

The sleeve includes a non-slip zigzag line at the top to help keep the knee pad securely in place during movement.

For best performance, the anti-slip liner must contact clean, dry skin. Moisturisers, oils, or slippery clothing may reduce effectiveness and can contribute to rolling.

Thickness & Profile

Our knee pads are designed to be low-profile and lightweight:

Gel thickness: custom made gel 0.6 cm at the fullest point

Sleeve thickness: approximately 0.2 cm

This allows the pads to sit comfortably on bare legs and under socks, pants, boots, or stockings without bulk. No one will even know you’re wearing knee pads!

Removal Guidance (Grippy)

For Grippy Gel Knee Pads, we recommend removing them by sliding your thumbs inside the top and gently pushing the sleeve downward.
Pulling from the bottom may cause unnecessary strain on the overall seams, which are designed to grip and stay in place.

Design Updates

From time to time, we make design improvements to enhance comfort, support, and performance. These may include updates to stitching, band construction, or internal reinforcement.

Design updates do not change internal sizing, and all measurements remain within the published size chart. Visual or construction differences resulting from these updates are not considered faults under Australian Consumer Law.

Sleeve Gel Knee Pads
Designed for activities where knee grip is not required, such as floorwork, twerk, heel work, yoga, Pilates, and some professions. The sleeve uses one continuous material, similar to pulling on a sock.

Grippy Gel Knee Pads©
Designed to transition from floor to pole. The backing includes a large cut-out hole to allow skin grip on the knee.

“Grippy” refers to skin grip through the opening, not the material itself. Perceived stickiness can vary due to external factors such as humidity, temperature, skin condition, pole material, and cleanliness.

Please visit our Size Chart.
We use standard Australian sizing, and customers are encouraged to choose their usual size.

Fit and feel can vary based on body shape, muscle distribution, movement style, and personal comfort preference. A different feel does not indicate incorrect sizing if the item falls within the published size chart.

If the top rolls, sizing up is recommended. Choosing a size down may cause seam stress or breakage. Choosing a size up may allow unwanted movement during use.

Differences in appearance, band width, compression feel, or how the product sits on the body, including between colours or production runs, are not considered sizing errors or faults where measurements remain within the size chart.

Still unsure? Please review our Size Chart, Returns Policy, and Shipping Policy before ordering, or contact us prior to purchase for sizing guidance.

Our knee pads are designed for activities involving knees and floor contact, including pole dancing, floorwork, twerk, heels, yoga, Pilates, and similar movement-based activities.

They are not designed for use on abrasive environments or industrial surfaces that may accelerate wear.

Knee pads should never be relied on as the sole point of body weight support. Always maintain other points of skin contact and proper body control. The user assumes responsibility for safe and appropriate use.

Grippy knee pads are intentionally soft and flexible. Their response under load may differ from rigid designs. Proper technique and movement awareness are essential.

External factors such as humidity, temperature, pole material, pole cleanliness, skin condition, and clothing are outside our control and may affect performance. Variations caused by these factors are not considered faults.

You may hand wash or machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar items, using a wash bag or tied pillowcase.

Do not use hot water, bleach, harsh detergents, or heavy fabric softeners. These can leave residue on the material, liner, or gel. Air dry only.

Heat can affect adhesives, liners, and the silicone gel pad. Do not tumble dry, iron, or expose to heat sources.

Signs of wear, seam stress, or breakage may indicate general wear and tear or incorrect fit and are not considered manufacturing faults.

Product lifespan varies depending on frequency of use, surface type, movement style, fit, and care. Wear over time is expected and is not considered a manufacturing defect.
