Gadget Flashback: Yoga Jellies
 
I bought 2 pair of these way back when and didn't like them.

They gathered dust until I realized I could use them to store assorted sizes of fitness balls to keep them from rolling away.

Anyone else own these? Maybe someone who actually uses them for the intended use? :p

I still have mine!

I had a pair! They were sort of strange. :D
I got rid of them but I kind of wish I had them for my knees now.

I bought them and didn't like them either. Thanks for the tip about using them to keep a stability ball in place - I'll have to try that!

I never had them but I wish I did. Also I love the idea of using them as an anchor for your stability ball.

I got a set a couple of months ago and I really like them. They take a lot of strain off of my wrists.

I purchased a set several years ago and I still have them although I rarely use them. I used them as intended, when I do. They're only OK and not as helpful as I thought they would be. They were quite expensive when I purchased them and in retrospect, they're not worth the price I paid for them.

I was gifted a pair from a very generous VFer :heart: and I still use them every time I do pushups, planks and yoga. They definitely help my wrists!

I still have mine, but sadly they disappoint me every time I use them. Definitely not worth the $$ I paid for them. Neither were the WAGs gloves.

I actually just bought some. I had knee replacement and was using a towel to put under that knee because sometimes it hurts to kneel and an instructor suggested I get a pair because it helps with the pressure on that knee.

I'm betting they will help with that. Not so much help for arthritic hands and wrists.

I recall being interested in them, but the unbiased reviews at VF convinced me not to.

Thanks VF'ers!

With the word "jellies" in the name of the product, I though they would be softer. I didn't like them under my knees or under my wrists.

That was one of those VF bandwagons I wish I hadn't jumped on. :p

I had considered buying these because I was having problems with my knees on traditional yoga mats for barre, but then decided to go with a thicker mat and that helped a lot.

laurajhawk 04-16-20 01:13 PM

I bought some, then returned them. They were too large, I think, for what I wanted. I bought WAGs gloves and used them for years until Nicki Doane and Eddie Modestini taught me better hand alignment that reduced the wrist pressure so down dog etc. became more comfortable. I don't know where my WAGs are now - there should be two pairs around here somewhere.

I’ve never used the yoga jellies, but I do have two of these YogaRat pads and I love them! I mainly use them under my knees, wrists, & tailbone. They are also great to elevate your head just a little for mat work. I also use them under my calves for seated work to elevate sensitive heels. They are invaluable in my yoga practice!
