Skating Help!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Question

Hey. I went to a skating camp last year and got really bad blisters. My friend handed me these ankle sleeves called bunga pads. I can't seem to find any other ones beside bunga pads- they're like $20 each. The ones I found were padded on the ankle bone and thats not what I want. Does anyone know where I can order some for cheap?!?!?!?!?!?!?! PLEASE help.

Answer 1

get one long bunga pad and cut it in half.

thats what i always do and it saves me 10 bucks.

Answer 2

Bunga pads do work well, but they're kind of expensive.  So are their competitors, Silipos...

Sometimes people sell new ones on eBay for a little bit less.

BUT maybe try this......just go to Target, Walgreens, etc. and buy a package of the round makeup sponges.  They're like 99 cents for a big ole' bag of 'em and, although they don't stick, they can be used to serve the same purpose.  Plus, if you lose them, it's not the end of the world and if they get gross, throw them out.  Cut a hole in the middle to use around an ankle and if you can, shove them in your tights to keep them in place.  Some skaters even use athletic tape to hold them in the spots they're needed.  That's what all us "old school" skaters used before Bunga Pads!

Of if you're looking for just a sleeve for your ankle, find a thick sock that you can cut the foot part off of.  I used to use those when breaking in skates to prevent bloody ankles.

Good luck!  :)
