First off...Hi to everyone! I've missed chatting with you all
To the parents with experience in this area I have a question that I'm a bit embarrassed to ask. But honestly I'd rather have y'alls input then ask the gym and make a fool out of myself. So, here goes!
Pixie finally got her grips today (the gym orders them when the gymnast makes her kip 5 or maybe 10 times in a row) even though she's had her kip for a long time. She came to the car this evening and said you have to get me some wristbands.
Well, I remember a conversation, here, where somebody said their daughter uses the neoprene wristbands because of slipping or chaffing...something like that. But what I was wondering is do they use the neoprene wristbands under the other wristbands or instead of? When I was a gymnast we didn't have those. If they did I never saw them. Also do the use prewrap under the wristbands?
What are your opinions on wristbands in general? Do your gymmies have any preferences? Any links to online stores?
I was doing some online shopping to order her some but I just don't know if I want the traditional ones or neoprene, for her. I want to get her the best ones. What ever that may be, for comfort, to prevent wrist rips, to prevent slipping, etc. What do you guys think?
I value your opinions here. I haven't been steered wrong yet
Oh, one last thing! Since I was here last I've cleared my cache and I cannot figure out how to get the pink and purple background back on this forum. The one that's on there now is black & yellow and it hurts my eyes. How do I change that??? Thanks!
