THINGS YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT LADIES BOXING GLOVES

By Kendall Jenkins on 2020-06-02 07:08:00

It should come as no surprise to anyone that there's a difference between men's and women's boxing gloves. Any guy who has ever tried to put on a pair of gloves meant to be worn by a woman already knows how different they are. The differences between the gloves might not be so obvious at first, but it becomes even more so after the gloves are held or even tried on. Anyone who has ever tried on a pair of bokshandschoenen dames of the opposite sex knows how different they are. The difference is like night and day, but sometimes it's easy to forget when you don't have a pair of gloves next to you to compare them to.

Women's boxing gloves are much lighter

A pair of bokshandschoenen dames is roughly four ounces lighter than those for men. Some might think that women's gloves are lighter because of some odd idea that a woman can't lift heavier gloves. The reason for the difference in weight is because of the difference in the size of the gloves. The materials used to make boxing gloves are the same for both men and women. The reason for the weight difference is due to their size. There is no difference between the materials inside the gloves and the durability of them. In fact, the gloves a woman wears and those a man wears in the squared circle are the same other than their size.

Gloves for females are much smaller

As said above, the gloves that women wear are smaller. The reason why the gloves weigh less is that there's less need of material to make them. The gloves are smaller, well, because the hands of women tend to be smaller. There is no other reason why the gloves are smaller. If a woman has bigger hands than of course, the size of her boxing gloves is bigger. It's all about the size of the female fighter's hands when it comes to the size and weight of her gloves.

The styles and colors are different

Anyone who has watched a boxing event that featured both men and women already know that the style of the gloves each wear is different. Women tend to wear more colorful gloves that reflect their feminine side. None of this changes the quality of the gloves in the least. A man probably wouldn't want to spar with a pair of pink gloves on his fist. A woman, on the other hand, wouldn't want those traditional red gloves. Female boxers are far more concerned about making sure their gloves match their trunks than most men are.

How to properly care for your bokshandschoenen dames 

As with anything, your bokshandschoenen dames need to be taken care of appropriately. If you don't take care of your gloves, they won't last as long as they should. You need to wipe down your gloves with antibacterial spray or wipes after every sparring session. You also need to put cedar chips or commercial grade odor absorbers in your gloves to dry them out after using them. You may want to consider putting your gloves in a bag and tossing them in the freezer for 24 hours. If you do put them in the freezer, make sure that they are completely dry. Keeping your gloves in the freezer for 24 hours will kill all of the bacteria in your gloves, and that will mean they won't stink.

Taking care of your gloves is a must no matter if you're a man or a woman

The above steps are vital to keeping your gloves clean. You might also consider making a mild cleaning solution using a little dish soap and warm water to scrub the outside of your gloves. Don't use too much soap as you're not trying to make them sudsy. What you're trying to do here is clean the outside of the gloves to keep them soft, and the finish looking great. Proper care of your gloves ensures that you'll get plenty of use out of them. If you don't take proper care of your gloves, they will become dry and eventually stink so bad that you won't want to put your nose anywhere near them. Stinky gloves are a concern for both male and female boxers, and the only way to avoid having a smelly pair is by making sure you take care of them.
