Women Another Grips Thread...Sorry!

[Moxiegrl83]

I did search through the old threads, but didn't see anything that covered pain from grips. My DD8 got grips a few months ago, wore them for a few weeks, and started getting pain in between her thumb and index finger when she pushed down on the bar. Is this a sizing thing? The way she's holding the bar possibly? She's now ditched the grips, is happily training without them, and coaches have left it up to us whether we order her a different pair. I don't want to get a different pair, without knowing why the first ones hurt. She'd prefer never to wear grips...and the coach's seem okay with this too for the most part.

My kid has triple O ones...OOO...and this happens to hee. The reason is her hands are still (sigh) to small for them. She is dying to wear them, but right now she continues to work her kips and other bar skills without them.

When she was measured, she ended up in the 00, but has zero interest in returning to her grips.
