Triple Eight Bumsaver

These hip pads are outstanding. Lightweight, thin, but protective. Paying $50 for these is a great value compared to a hospital bill!I’ve fallen without pads and had terrible bruises and pain for a week. I’ve fallen with these—and it still hurts, but the foam dissipates the energy and protects the important bits.

These are perfect for a new skater learning the basics for roller derby. They make the unexpected and improper falls much more bearable. I would highly recommend. I fell 5 times last night on my butt/hips during practice and I can't even tell today! My only complaint is that they are really really short so I have to wear them under leggings to be comfortable. They don't ride up on your butt though and they can't ride up on your thighs as they fit like a boyshort style underwear.

Ordered a small for my daughter whos 10 and she’s skinny and still too small, she said it was too itchy and the padding/foam moved around alot, and she didnt feel safe; I had her fall on the carpet to test it out and landed right on her buttocks, she said, her tailbone did not feel protected, she can still feel the floor underneath the carpet pretty hard.. She has Triple 8 pull up knee pads and those are great, not sure why these are not and they very uncomfortable, whether she wore it under her thinnest yoga pants or over, still wasn’t comfortable and felt restricted to the point where she could not focus on what she needed to do with her skates, so I have returned these and waiting for a refund from the seller… Maybe Ill try another brand till I find the best ones and not only that, these were not worth the price I paid for, its too expensive for something she cannot use and did not feel safe with… My daughter was around 70lbs.. and If I gotten 1 size up, still would be the same issues because the foam padding were not great

Last night these Triple 8 Shorts saved me from an even bigger injury when I crashed. I had a big accident on my Uni Wheel electric board (won’t say the brand name) and am left with a really messed up knee that needs surgery but everywhere these 8 shorts covered, I was saved! I have bruising to my R hip muscle I fell onto, but no breaks! Without these shorts I am positive I would have broken my hip!I weigh 233 & am 5’9, I got the 3XL hoping they would fit even though my hips are bigger than what the graph shows for size. Another commenter said they were easily able to fit into their Triple 8 shorts being over the size scale so I decided to take a chance.I am so thankful for these shorts! ER x-Ray confirmed no breaks, just pretty bruised up. Even the ER doctor said I was smart to wear these shorts & had I not been wearing so much protection all over, I would be much worse off.I won’t hesitate to recommend these shorts to friends & family! Super priced and they come in a mesh bag for easy keeping.

Definitely adds protection to the booty bone. I always seem to fall on my tail bone when skating and the last fall had me extremely sore for weeks! Decided to order these and I’ll probably try another brand soon.This is spandex with pockets of removable foam. Unfortunately the foam adds quite a bit of insulation of body heat, so expect to sweat a lot with these on in the summer! For the added protection, I’ll deal with the heat.

There is protection everywhere but the actual side of your hip.

I bruised my tailbone 2 months ago during derby practice. This made me timid and unsure on my skates. I bought the triple 8 bummsaver and not only did it protect my bum, it gave me confidence to continue and give my all. I have fallen multiple times since and not felt a thing. I lost my toe stop and found it under my bum. I was sitting on it and had no idea as everyone searched the rink. I freaking love them!!!

I just started training for roller derby (with a fractured tailbone) and these have been literal bum savers! They are great protection for falling in multiple directions. While they don't totally stop the pain or bruises, they have kept me from re-injuring my tailbone.I'm 5'3, and a fairly muscular size 14. I bought size XL and they are a bit loose, but allow me to wear layers. I'd recommend these for anyone playing derby or who just wants to stake and needs a bit of extra cushion!
