Default Tank pads not so nice to leather. Need suggestions.

So my tank pads/stomp grip is not being friendly to my leathers. Does anyone have any good experiences with other tank protectors?

I was maybe thinking of a 3m protecting flim...

My Stomp pads have been great with my leathers but my jeans show some wear. How hard are you gripping the tank?

Just stitch on an extra layer of leather where you're getting wear.

My stomp pads are working great, with leathers and jeans. Maybe you could hand sand the nubs down so they don't stick up as much. But that kinda defeats the purpose of even having them...

Who cares if the insides of your thighs show some wear. Oh noozes!

It's not going to wear through your leathers and I don't even know why yours are showing that much wear. People use grip tape and are fine and stomp is like a baby's *** compared to that.
