Thigh Pads Help
« on: May 22, 2012, 05:37:01 PM »

Right here's the situation, I'm looking for a new thigh pad set as my current one is too small. I have already read Buzz's thigh pad fetish thread but would like some definitive help.
At the moment I am liking the look of the Kookaburra players and the Gunn and Moore set. What I need to know are both your opinions but also if the above and any others are flexible as my upper legs are 'generously' sized. I don't really have a budget but I don't want to be buying the top end customs such as Remfrys.
Thank you, Craig.

I'd forget all of those brands and get Shamrock ones....The pair I have are superb, I know a few other guys on here use them and as far as I know they all rate them very highly. Good value, nice and big and, most importantly for me, they don't move about when I'm wearing them.

Thanks lads for the recommendations. If you are interested the large mens thigh pads I stock are 43cm from top to bottom so size should not be an issue

When you say large men's are they longer? As well as being chunky legged I'm not blessed with height.  ;)
