Hygiene is a big deal in gymnastics, and it often gets overlooked.
Maintaining good hygiene—especially with grips, wristbands, leotards, and personal gear—is just as important as stretching or conditioning. Grips and wristbands soak up a ton of sweat, chalk, and dead skin.
Without regular cleaning or rotation, they can become breeding grounds for bacteria and fungus. This puts gymnasts at risk of skin irritation, blisters that won’t heal, or worse—staph infections and fungal conditions like ringworm.
Clean gear helps wounds stay clean, reducing the chance of infection or re-injury. Good hygiene practices not only keep things fresh but also extend the life of expensive gear.
