I have been lucky enough to use this pad regular at my gym (I am in Germany). Let me tell you, I have used everything in an attempt to find the optimal padding over the years. The average rolls might be ok at a lower weight, but once you go high up, it becomes painful. Not with this pad. It is big enough to spread the weight evenly across your hip, not having you feel a painful pressure against the hip-bones (I suffered, a LOT). At the same time it's small enough so you stay in control, balancing out the bar just perfectly. You can focus entirely on your exercise with this (as it should be!) without struggling around on suboptimal other solutions while doing hipthrusts (and we ladies know - the thrust is a must ;) ). I whole-heartedly and sincerely can say that this is by far the best hipthrust solution in my opinion (using barbells!) and worth the money. I go so far as to say, I wished this became a standard piece of equipment in all gyms, as much as having a back-roll. Please you guys, find a way to sell this across Europe somehow. The shipping and taxing fees on top of tge purchas proce, make it very expensive to get on my side if the world.

You wouldn't think it would make that much difference compared to a squat pad, but it actually does. The secret is that one side of the pad is hard-ish plastic and the other is soft padding. The barbell goes on the hard side and distributes the weight more evenly through the soft part. The price still seems a tad steep for what you actually get, but it does work and I'm not sure there's anything else like it on the market.

My friend, told me this is a must have, totally worth it. I love this thing.

Nothing works better than this with heavier weight!

This pad is terrible. Do not buy- waste of money. The product is a piece of foam with plastic on one side. It is covered with material that doesn’t even fit. The foam pad part has a hole in the center where the bar just hits your pubic bone during hip thrusts. It’s big and bulky so it is hard to get the bar onto the iliac crests because the pad hits the abdomen.

The fabric around the padding isn't secure. It is too bulky and cumbersome. My clients and I are back to using cut-off pool noodles for comfort during hip thrusts.

The pad is really durable and strong and protects you from the bar however, it’s too wide and pushes into my ribs and abs way too much. My clients didn’t find it comfortable either so sadly I can’t use it with them

A lot of money for a pad in a bag. No what I thought I was getting.
