Hand Protection Built for Gymnasts
Hand Protection That Works as Hard as She Does
Every gymnastics mom knows that moment your daughter walks off the floor cradling her hands, skin torn from the bar, trying not to cry. Rips are part of the sport, but they don't have to be part of every practice. RipGuards go on in seconds before training starts, stick through chalk and sweat, and protect the palms and calluses that take the most abuse on bars and rings. One less thing to worry about on the way to the gym.

RipGuards Hand Protection / Grips for 40 Strips
Hand Protection That Works as Hard as She Does
RipGuards are pre-cut, single-use hand protection strips designed specifically for gymnastics. No scissors, no tape rolls, no complicated wrap jobs. Peel, apply, and she's ready to train. The ultra-thin material moves with her hands so she keeps her feel on the bar, and the sweat-resistant adhesive holds through an entire practice without slipping or bunching.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
RipGuards work for gymnasts of all ages. We carry a smaller 2-hole kids strip for younger athletes with smaller hands, and a standard adult strip for older gymnasts and teens. If your daughter is between sizes, start with the kids strip and size up as she grows.
-
Yes, and this is one of the biggest reasons gymnastics families love them. Each strip is single-use and disposed of after practice, so there is no cross-contamination from shared equipment or other athletes' grips.
-
In most cases, yes. RipGuards are thin enough that they do not affect bar feel or grip mechanics. Many coaches actively recommend them for athletes in heavy training volume or recovering from a rip.
-
Yes. One of the most common uses is applying RipGuards over a fresh rip so your gymnast can get back on the bar without waiting days for the skin to heal. They protect the raw skin underneath and allow training to continue.
-
One pair per session. They are single-use, so factor that into how many you order. The multi-roll bundle is the best value for families with gymnasts in regular training.
