FLOW ROPE CARE
Let's remove the guess work when it comes to taking care of your flow ropes.
Gear pre and post care shouldn't have to be complicated which is why I've created this this comprehensive guide on Youtube, unlike any other on the internet! In this video, you will find many helpful tips wherever your flow rope is on the spectrum of its life cycle!
The video goes much more in depth as it covers how to take care, maintain, and repair your flow ropes.
However, if you are new or want a quick scan for tips I've consolidated this 40 minute video down to a few paragraphs tailored for beginners.
Setting Expectations:
- Your flow ropes are considered consumables. The more you use it, the more you consume it.
- Your flow ropes are made with countless of synthetic fibers. This is important to remember.
- Friction contributes to "wear and tear" - exposing the synthetic fibers to abrasion. (Think of the part of the rope that hits the ground over and over again.)
- Wear and tear is part of its life cycle. It is normal.
- Flow ropes are not always made with the same material. This means they will NOT show wear and tear the same way, or the same speed. Where and how often you use it are also contributors.
Easy Tips To Take Care Of Your Flow Rope
Disclaimer: These tips are simply recommendations, tailored for those who want to prolong the life of their gear.
- Keep It Dry - As much as possible, try to avoid getting it wet. When flow ropes get wet, they are exposed to rope shrinkage. When not properly dried, it is exposed to mildew and/or mold build up.
- Surface Matters - Harsher surfaces will lead to more "wear and tear". Smoother surfaces will lead to less "wear and tear". Use a yoga mat, puzzle mat, or smoother surface to avoid harsh abrasion if desired.
- Proper Storage - Storing your flow rope in a rope bag or a Slush Hook is to your benefit.
- Remove Added Knots After Each Use - A great way to practice after care. By doing so, you can avoid a knot permanently getting stuck on your rope and deforming the shape of the rope. Important: this happens OVER TIME. Not overnight.
Common Practices:
- YES, people still flow at the beach or by the water regardless of the recommendation stated above. Your flow rope, ultimately, will be just fine :)
- YES, people still flow on harsh surfaces and their flow ropes are just fine. Flowing on harsh surfaces speeds up the wear and tear. That's all ! If you don't mind seeing "love marks" on your rope, feel free to use it as you please :)
- YES, people actually own multiple ropes for multiple environments! It is common for experienced athletes and flow artists to have an indoor, outdoor, and "beater" rope. By having a dedicated rope, it eliminates a lot decisions that you need to make.
Do's and Do Not's:
- Shorten Your Rope - Do so by adding extra knots. Do Not CUT.
- Cleaning - Do so by using a disinfectant spray or wipe. Do Not use washer.
- Drying - Do so by drying with a fan for 24 hours. Do Not use dryer or sun dry.
- Protection - Do store in rope bag or Slush Hook. Do Not put flow rope near zippers as it may get caught and pull strands of fibers.
- Removing Parts - Do not remove (or undo) handles. Tampering with the product design will void your Lifetime Guarantee.
FAQS (Frequently Asked Questions)

-Slushropes ships worldwide.

Flow Rope Sizing Guide
Slushropes is proud to provide YOU the biggest flow rope catalog on earth - offering a wide selection from colors, length, and size (thickness). It's the only place where you can SHOP ROPES, LIKE YOU SHOP CLOTHES!
1. Colors - The endless amount of colorful flow ropes you see does not stop here! Some ropes also have special features such as being UV Blacklight reactive, glow in the dark, reflective strips (when using flash recording), and more! Make sure to look out for these special features located on each product's "features" section.
2. Length - Gone are the days where all flow ropes are made in ONE length. If it's your future rope, then shouldn't it be made FOR YOU?
Slushrope's is excited to offer FREE IN HOUSE customization services tailored around YOU. All ropes customized in size are FINAL SALE and is a free service upon purchase. However, it may require an additional 5-8 business days for customization (as they are made to order). Don't worry, the best things in life are worth waiting for.
Rope Length Recommendations:
- 7 FT - Flowmies who are in between 4'7 to 5'2 in height.
- 7.5 FT - Flowmies who are in between 4'9 to 5'4 in height.
- 8 FT - This is the industry standard length, meaning most flow ropes made come in this length. Most people find this length to be the most comfortable choice as it is the most common.
- 8.5 FT - Flowmies who are in between 5'7 to 6' in height.
- 9 FT - Flowmies who are in between 5'9 and up in height.
Disclaimer: Some people prefer a flow rope that doesn't touch the ground, a rope that is extra long, while some shorten it to avoid knots. The information above is simply a recommendation. Most people who utilize this free customization service are flowmies who already own a flow rope and know exactly the length they want.
Because this is final sale, Slushropes wants to ensure that you get all the questions you have answered before purchase! If you would like an in depth rope recommendation, please email info@slushropes.com .
3. Size - Size refers to the diameter of the rope, how thin or thick it is.
The Size Line Up (thinnest to thickest)
A popular question from the community is: "Why don't you just put the diameter size of the rope instead of using proprietary names? (such as Starter Size, Standard Size, etc.)"
Answer: There are two major answers to this question. First is information retention. Being that Slushropes proudly serves customers worldwide, the standard measurement varies from one's geographical location. This means that some people are accustomed to the imperial system (inches and feet), while some are familiar with the metric system (centimeters and millimeters). Though Slushropes incorporates both systems, customer feedback has shown that the ease of retaining information is a lot easier when using the propriety size chart line up (names instead of numbers). Collectively, people around the world have an easier time remembering the size they're using through its name rather than a specific size number "1/2 inch" "12mm" etc.
Secondly, this is also to avoid confusion. This part is a lot more technical and requires some understanding with how ropes are made. Here is an example: The "Cheddar Cheese" rope and the "Lychee" rope are both Starter Size. When compared side by side, the Lychee rope appears to be thicker. However, believe it or not, they are the same diameter size.
The diameter of a rope depends: (a) its construction and (b) the amount of material used. Ropes can be made "compact" while some can be braided loosely. With the example mentioned, the Cheddar Cheese (firmer rope) appears to be thinner than the Lychee rope (softer rope). The Lychee rope will appear thicker because it's less compact when braided.
If you feel that this is a lot of information to remember, we hear you. This is why Slushropes prefer its proprietary named size chart!
Starter Size - Recommended for ALL beginners. (12mm)
Standard Size - Industry Standard Diameter. (14mm)
Protohype Size - Slushrope's #1 and most loved size. (16mm)
Paradigm Size - A unique size that's designed to introduce you into getting into heavy flow ropes without a heavy flow rope. (19mm)
Primal Size - The beginning of heavy ropes. (25 mm)
Primal Plus Size - Heavier ropes. (30 mm)
Primal Push Size - INSANE heavy ropes (38 mm)
