The Cheap Pads Thread
October 13, 2020, 10:42:21 am
Found a great deal for the Ocean Dominator if anyone is looking for a new pad:

I really like these pads. They are really thick but amazingly light. Seem to last really well too.

Good spot indeed. I lost mine recently so might bite the bullet and replace. I think they're awesome. The whole "vertical pipe insulation" thing is genius.

To be honest, it was a bit unsettling how I found up. Having been searching on google for a couple days, a notification came up on my phone about this deal. I don't have automatic prompts set up: google just knew (I have an android phone). Nonetheless I appeased their efforts and bought the pad. :)

Dammit! Someone rename this thread the cheap pad thread, its really unusual to see a good one for sub £200 at the moment.

Last time I bought a pad I think I used epic tv etc... and had one of their 20% off vouchers (for some reason) and just waited until there was some 24 hour sale or something (the promotions happen so often etc..)

Does anyone know the difference between the moonwalk and dominator? From looking online they are the same size and thickness but one is more cash.

Any ideas?

Are you talking penis size or matt thickness Chris?

Never mind the quality, feel the width.

The moonwalk is normal foam unlike the dominators special tube stuff.
Moonwalk is still a really good medium sized pad, I've got one.

I set them up, you nod them home.

I think setting up the shot for you to slot it in - might have worked better.... :D

I got my Dominator from this shop in Austria a few years ago, possibly for around £150 IIRC. Still sub £200 given exchange rates, I think, but no idea if Brexit changes things:

I'm sorry the deal didn't last. I definitely got a bargain. It also arrived the next day! So I've already tested it on some Earl Crag high balls and it was outstanding!

Replacement foam sections with tubing can be bought from Ocun who will ship via their UK distributor.
Had the smaller sections replaced on my Dominator for £55 including p&p.
In hindsight I would've replaced all the foam in one go.

That said my Dominator is quite old so perhaps they're no longer produced with four sections of foam and progressed to just two sections.
Anyway Ocun seemed pretty happy to help.
