Why Choose Our Deodorisers?
If you’re choosing a boxing glove deodoriser, here’s how our boxing glove deodorisers compare to the usual fixes.
Charcoal bags
Passive absorption only. Needs frequent recharging in sunlight, not practical for people training in the UK. Good for light odours if you can recharge regularly.
Sprays
Often masks odour short term. Some formulas can be harsh on materials. Doesn't always help long term. Useful for quick freshening on the go.
Air drying
Helps, but odour can linger if moisture stays trapped inside the glove. Essential baseline, best paired with a deodoriser.

Frequently asked questions
Got questions about our boxing glove deodorisers? Here’s how our deodorisers work, how to use them, and how long they last.
What are boxing glove deodorisers?
Boxing glove deodorisers are inserts designed to help reduce odour and moisture inside your gloves after training.
They sit inside the glove between sessions, helping absorb dampness and keep your kit fresher for longer. They are commonly used in boxing gloves, Muay Thai gloves, MMA gloves and other training gear that traps sweat and heat.
How do you stop boxing gloves smelling?
The best way to stop boxing gloves smelling is to deal with moisture straight after training.
Open your gloves up, let air circulate, and place boxing glove deodorisers inside as soon as possible.
Regular use helps reduce trapped damp, which is one of the main causes of bad smells building up over time. Keeping gloves dry between sessions is one of the simplest ways to keep them fresher and in better condition.
What is the best way to dry boxing gloves after training?
The best way to dry boxing gloves after training is to air them out properly and use glove deodorisers to help draw out moisture. Avoid leaving gloves zipped in a gym bag or piled up with sweaty kit, as that can make smells worse.
Instead, open them up, store them in a dry space with good airflow, and use deodorisers between sessions to help keep the inside of the gloves fresher.
Can I use them in shoes or a gym bag?
Yes, boxing glove deodorisers can also be used in shoes, gym bags and other sports kit that holds onto moisture and odour. That makes them a simple option if you want to keep all of your training gear fresher, not just your gloves.
Many people use them across boxing, Muay Thai and general gym kit for a more practical all-round gear care routine.
Do boxing glove deodorisers actually work?
Yes, when you use them straight after training. Gloves smell when moisture lingers, so the key is getting airflow back into the glove and keeping the inside fresher between sessions. Pop one into each glove after training and leave overnight for best results.
How long should I leave them in my gloves?
Overnight is ideal. If your gloves are really wet after sparring or pads, leave them in for up to 24 hours. The aim is to support drying time between sessions.
What does level 1, 2 or 3 mean?
It’s scent control. Level 1 is subtle, level 2 is medium, level 3 is strongest. Choose what you prefer, then drop them into your gloves as normal.
Can I use them in Muay Thai or MMA gloves?
Yes. They’re made for combat sports gear and work in boxing gloves, Muay Thai gloves, MMA gloves and kickboxing gloves.
They also work well in shoes and kit bags.
How long do they last?
Typically 3 to 6 months, depending on how often you train and how wet your gear gets. If you train most days or your gloves get soaked regularly, you’ll be closer to 3 months. For lighter use, they’ll last longer.
