FAQs

Do these come as a pair?

Yes—sold as a pair (left and right shin guard included).

Can I wear these under Muay Thai shorts?

No—shin guards are worn over shorts with the straps visible. They're too bulky to fit underneath.

How do I clean them?

Wipe down the exterior with antibacterial wipes or a damp cloth after each session. Spray the interior with disinfectant and air dry completely before storing. Do not machine wash or submerge in water.

Are these suitable for beginners?

Absolutely—the Thaismai shin guards offer excellent protection at a beginner-friendly price, making them ideal for those new to Muay Thai or fighters on a budget.
