Sick of fighting with knee pads that hurt more than they help?

If you’ve ever tried to wrestle your legs into sleeve-style pads, you know the struggle. They strangle your thighs, cut off circulation, and if you forget to put them on before your heels? Game over.

So you try going without them… and end up crawling away from floorwork covered in bruises and burns.

Most knee pads aren’t built for pole dancers. They’re either torture devices to get on, or useless once they are.

That's where Bee’s Knees Knee Pads come in.

The Best Knee Pads for Pole Dancing

Meet Bee's Knees Knee Pads

You’ve tried generic knee pads. They're flimsy, impossible to pull on over heels, and tight enough to cut off circulation.

You’ve even tried going without… only to crawl away covered in bruises and burns.

None of it worked, because none of it was made for us.

Bee’s Knees Knee Pads change everything. With a strap-on design that actually fits, customizable inserts for the right level of protection, and a sleek sexy look, they’re the game-changing pole dance knee pads that let you train harder, dance longer, and look damn good doing it.

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.

The Hidden Velcro Advantage You Didn't Know About

Did you know that everyone has two different sized legs?

Yep, that's right. Our left and right legs aren't identically sized. Why should our knee pads be? Plus, as we move and our bodies heat up, our legs swell up a little.

Bee’s Knees Velcro straps adjust on the fly, giving you a perfect, custom fit every time. watch the video to see what I mean!

Hear from pole dancers with happy knees

"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!"

— Josie

"I searched far and wide to find true plus size dancer knee pads and Bee's Knees were the ONLY ones I found. The knee pads are great, and I love the flexibility the extenders provide. Great and very needed product!"

— Alison C.

"Customer service was amazing, and the knee pads are great quality. I got Heavyweight inserts, and it's like kneeling on a cloud! Barely even feels like I’m kneeling. Worth the investment!"

— Hannah

"I had the opportunity to purchase and try out Bee's Knees Knee Pads, and they are amazing. I love the fact that I don't have to take off my heels to strap them on. I can pull them on and off according to my desires, and they are absolutely beautiful with the necessary support for my knees."

— Natasha

"These are my third pair of knee pads from Bee's Knees. I've been using them since the pandemic. Absolute fan for life ❤️"

— Kim

"I looove these knee pads. The hook and loop make them super easy to take on and off, especially when wearing pole shoes. They’re also comfortable and really pretty. I also love that Sara is super mindful of the way she makes her products, making them a purchase you can feel good about. What more could you ask for?"

— Meg

"Perfect for floor work while on stage at work. My skinny knees couldn’t take it anymore. And yes, I still made money... even when wearing knee pads, Lol! Thank you!"

— Cera

"I've been pole dancing 5+ years. When I started I was told to purchase the cheap knee pads you find in the sporting goods department of Walmart. They were manageable until I decided to concentrate on floorwork movement. I've been following Bees Knees on IG for a while and decided to invest in a quality pair of knee pads. They are fabulous and I love that I can purchase replacement pads. I'm happy with my investment."

— Melva

"I've always had trouble finding knee pads that worked with my thick thighs. Glad to say that Bees Knees are great! They don't cut my thighs off in any weird ways, and I love that they have hook and loop straps so that you don't have to worry about putting them on before your heels. The pads are replaceable which is also awesome because when you wear through them, you just buy new pads instead of a whole new set. It also makes them easy to wash. Overall 10/10 review!"

— Jamie

"I've been using these knee pads to protect my knees doing floor work and they are just perfect. Normally I'm used to getting very uncomfortable and overly scratchy straps - not these. I love them!"

— Kindra B.

A Message From Bee

I’m Sara Bee, the Bee behind the best knee pads for pole dancing. Want to know why they’re the best? It’s because Bee’s Knees Knee Pads were made for pole, and made for you.

Well Made.

What happens when your inexpensive volleyball knee pads go flat after a few weeks? You probably continue to wear them anyway, even though they offer no protection, then throw them out and get a new pair. What a waste! The shelf life of Bee’s Knees Knee Pads is measured in years, not weeks. I myself am a pole instructor who teaches 5 classes per week, and I’ve had two pairs of Black Hearts in 4 years. Fellow pole instructor Lucia was the first customer in the online shop way back in October 2018, and she still teaches in her Black Hearts every Friday night. With a little care and the occasional pad insert refresh, Bee’s Knees Knee Pads can last you years and reduce fashion waste.

Thoughtful Design.

Bee’s Knees Knee Pads boast the most features in a single pair of knee pads, like hook and loop straps, removable pad inserts, extended sizing, an open back design, all with the sleek and sexy profile pole dancers want. Six sizes and strap extenders mean Bee’s Knees Knee Pads fit more people than any other pole dance knee pad does. BK disrupted the industry in 2019 by being the first pole dance knee pad brand to offer multiple skin tones. The reason other brands don’t bother? Because maintaining multiple colorways and sizes costs more, and those costs eat into profit margins. They have one-size-fits-all products available in limited colors designed with an eye on profit first and foremost. Bee’s Knees, on the other hand, only has pole dance essentials that are designed for the actual people who use them.

Ethical Production.

Bee’s Knees Knee Pads are not mass market manufactured, which means they are not purchased cheap in bulk from a massive distributor, then private labeled and marked up like the things you find on Amazon. Instead, Bee’s Knees Knee Pads are small-batch produced right here in the USA, using a cut and sew team in Massachusetts. Every single person involved in making Bee’s Knees Knee Pads is compensated fairly for their skills and labor.

Now that you know all that goes into them, you can see why Bee’s Knees Knee Pads are the best knee pads for pole dancing. They are well made, thoughtfully designed, and ethically produced to be the best.
