Slippery hands??

Posted by danni6285 on August 23, 2013 at 3:27 am

Hi All,

I wanted to ask for help in fining a good grip that lasts as I cannot seem to get through even two moves without having to re-apply my grip aid due to seriously sweaty hands and also having a slight mishap where I ended up shoulder mounting slipping and landing on my neck https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

Here is what I have tried and what I thought –

*Liquid chalk – Ok slightly messy seems to need re application constantly

*Liquid grip – Well the video review looked amazing you can wet the pole and still get grip. But for me?? Nope not even the slightest grip at all didn't even feel safe doing a basic invert https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

*Dry hands – Best by far although with my hands I am re-applying after every two moves (no good for a routine)

*Tite grip – Again no good no real grip

*Stick em – Absolutely useless for me

*Gorilla grip – As above

*Mighty grip – Still have soaking wet hands and no grip

* Other grips I have not yet tried – itac2, ,

I am at my wits end, grip is not cheap and currently I am applying tite grip leaving for 5 minutes then applying dry hands and still I cannot get through a whole routine! I am even contemplating getting Botox in my palms! (if that is even possible) I have been doing grip strengthening exercises. Please can anyone help before I spend more money on grip that is just going to gather dust https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif

Have you tried dirty girl poletice? Its called a mask to stop hand and body sweat and you can use grip aids on top if you need them. I don’t suffer from sweaty hands normally but was struggling in the hot weather put this on before a session and my hands were completely dry the whole time I was on the pole x

I second dirty girl poletice, only used a month or so I don’t think my hands will sweat at all when winter comes 🙂

Danni, I’m in the exact same situation as you! I suffer from hyperhidrosis on my hands and feet and it can be frustrating to say the least. DGP + Dry hands works best for me, but my hands still get to slippery to freestyle/do a routine. I’m currently in the middle of iontophoresis treatments for my hyperhidrosis, so I’m hoping that this will be the answer to my solution. All can say is don’t give up! I would suggest seeing a dermatologist and see what they can recommend for you 🙂

I also wrote a blog entry about my hyperhidrosis so you can check it out for more details! http://unlimitedpoletential.com/2013/08/07/where-theres-a-will-theres-a-way/

I get the whole slippery shoulder mount thing too – what works best for me is standing in front of a fan to cool the skin (close the pores?) and then using the back of my hand putting some cheap shaving cream on (just a little). This seems to last quite a while.

Same with dry hands – I find it last a lot longer if I wash my hands in cold water and soap, then dry with a towel right before applying it.
