Butt Pad

[noob]

i just went to Ikea, the pads are there. Just that there is only yellow and green ones left.

i have a teammate that went there last saturday got two. actually there's three(one red and two greens). but a little girl came by and took the red. and now it's sold out again. lol

but actually, i'm really curious what our bumpads are actually for.

i can't find it in the childrens' section of ikea's online catalouge or anywhere in it. lol

to prevent bum abrasion from all that rubbing with the seat of course hehehe 

you mean you did not experience it b4?

its not in the online catalogue, but it sure is hanging there the alexandra road ikea kids section. my teammates just went to get it last week. it probably for kids or babies to sit on.

hahahahas, yeah, haven't gotten any abrasions before in my 1 year of dragonboating, i had one once, but gave it to my teammate.

i find it annoying especially when you're charging and it drops out of your seat. lol.

abrasion to the ass is shitty. Always burns in the shower and then itch for a whole week.

if you ask me i rather have a pad. at least it stops me from sliding off my seat during charging or starts. Falling off ones seat in a race is traumatic....

whatever happened to the good old sponge? even a fold-up tshirt works.

lol. how does abrasions happen ar?

coz you can use the seawater as something to prevent friction.

hmm. never tried sponge or t-shirt before.

i've gotten used to the seats though my ass still aches occasionally.

hahahahahahahahahs.
