Claims

1. About five years ago, my knees start looking like I was walking on them all the time as a result of being painting on my knees some times, now it is painful when I work on my knees.

There are knee pads in the market but they have straps and they are uncomfortable behind the knees.

There are also pants with double knee in the market, but it is just an extra layer of fabric.

I believe Knee savers would be a good option to knee pads.
