Sick of generic knee pads that don't fit or protect your knees? You're ready for Bee's Knees Knee Pads.

Pole dance knee pads made for you.

What Makes Bee's Knees Knee Pads Different

Velcro Straps

Easy on, easy off, with an adjustable fit that moves with your body.


Changeable Inserts

Standard and Heavyweight pad options for personalized protection.

Open Back Design

Cool, comfortable, and good for leg hangs on the pole.

Sleek + Sexy Look

Protection without the bulky volleyball knee pad vibes.

Inclusive Sizing

Six sizes (S–3XL) plus strap extenders for every body.

Made for Floorwork

Compression mesh exterior slides on the floor smoothly.

Hard Wearing

Average shelf life is measured in years, not weeks or months.

Easy to Wash

Wash, air dry, and replace the pads for a quick + easy refresh.

Made for Pole. Made for YOU.

For Newbees

Skip the detour through cheap volleyball pads and go straight to the knee pads experienced pole dancers already trust. Protect your knees from day one and focus on building skills, not bruises.

For Floor Explorers

From kips and fish flops to all things low flow, these knee pads are designed to move with you. Compression mesh helps you slink on the floor; Velcro makes it easy to strip them off and ride the chrome.

For Thick Thighs

We fit real dancers’ bodies from size S to 3XL, with strap extenders for fluctuating sizes, different-sized legs, or just more muscle. No more cutting off circulation or squeezing into pads that weren’t made for you.

I had soooo many bruises from my other knee pads and tons of floorwork to do for my showcase. Bee's Knees arrived JUST in time, and we KILLED IT. They fit like a dream, and I was able to do a strong kip with no pain. Absolutely adore these knee pads!

"Because of the hook and loop, there's no need to take your shoes off so it was especially helpful during my video shoot because of the different pole tricks I was doing. I also like the "behind the knee pit access" so you can do an outside leg hang with these knee pads on."

I love Bee's Knees Knee Pads because they're so comfortable (I used to absolutely HATE wearing kneepads) and I don't have to take my shoes off to put my knee pads on! They're super cute, they slide really well for floorwork, and they keep my knees safe."

"I absolutely love that Bee's Knees are easy to take on and off, size inclusive, and color inclusive. However, my favorite thing is the fact that the company is owned and operated by a woman who has a passion for pole dancing!"
