Bought this before a climbing trip and ended up using it every night after climbing. My hands definitely felt better the next morning.

What fellow climbers are saying about us
Catch it early. Climb longer.
You know the feeling. One rough edge starts catching mid-session and suddenly it's all you can think about. Flapstopper smooths it down in seconds — before it turns into the reason you're sitting the next one out.
Notice the edge.
Smooth it.
Leave the rest alone.

A raised edge is easiest to fix
while it is still just an edge.

Frequently
Asked
Questions.
Why use this instead of sandpaper?
Sandpaper works. FlapStopper gives you selectable grit, adjustable speed and a repeatable way to work only the raised edge.
Which part of the callus should I work?
Focus on raised, hard or uneven edges that are likely to catch while climbing. The goal is to smooth the callus, not remove it.
Which grit should I start with?
Start conservatively and use the finer grit when you are unsure. You can always remove more material gradually.
How often should I use it?
Use it when raised or rough callus edges begin to develop rather than waiting until they become large enough to catch and tear.
Does it prevent every flapper?
No method can prevent every skin tear, but keeping calluses smooth can reduce the raised edges that are more likely to catch.
Can I use it on torn skin?
FlapStopper is intended for maintaining intact callus and rough skin. Avoid using it directly on open or freshly torn skin.
Better skin starts before the tear.
