Skating Butt Pads

Skating butt pads, also known as crash pads, are used by skaters to protect the derriere. While they’re not common in figure skating practice, some skaters choose to wear them. Figure skating is all about leg muscles and gliding motion, which can lead to “skater’s butt.” The term was coined by two-time Olympic figure skater Michelle Kwan.

These pads are designed to fit inside tight fitting shorts or tights. They help absorb impact and are comfortable to wear. They are available individually. If you’re shopping for a pair, make sure to look for one that fits your child. A good pair of butt pads will fit most kids. Butt pads are made from soft, elastic fabric, so they’re easy to slip on and take off.
