Hi all,

Just wondered what you guys thought would be the better belt.... Padded or Non-padded?

I only ask as I'm in the market to get one, and not too sure what one to get

rarely use one, mostly because of renal anomalies and I'm scared to f**k of squashing whats still there and ending up pissing through a tube or something.

Not sure if that helps. I'm guessing notUnhappy

If you plan to compete in any BWLA events you can't use a padded belt. Also you need to be aware there are rules on everything about the belt from thickness of material to number of belt loops to hold the end tag in place.

From a personal perspective I'd consider investing in a good quality power belt, it will last you a lifetime and is well worth the initial cost. I know some people who are still using their first good power belt from 25 years ago.
