New Pole grip idea!!
Think I may have found a new pole grip aid, accidentally mind u!! Was brushing my teeth earlier and got some toothpaste on my hands, once as finished brushing I rinsed my hands and decided to go on my pole.. And what do u no, I had a great grip on my pole for ages!! And I usually get really really sweaty hands within seconds, lol. Worth a try as it really worked a treat for me!! Let me no if any1 else has any joy with this. Al defo b tryin it again as it really helped. 🙂 xxx

Hm. What kind of toothpaste are you using? I want to try.

I tried hand sanitizer on my hands and pole and my grip has improved a lot. I will give toothpaste a try. 🙂
Thanks for sharing!

It worked when I used my sons kid toothpaste and also when I used Colgate. Hope this helps others 2. Was really impressed with how well I was gripping as I usually have no grip whatsoever. I Just rubbed it Over my hands and then rinsed with water and thoroughly dried & it wrked a treat. xx

I don't have too many issues with grip as I am a fanatic for washing my hands with dishsoap before poling and consistent alcohol wipe downs but I will definitely try this for those occasional humid and diffuclt days!

Lol PoleGal. I can’t wait to try this!
-
it makes sense! i've heard of people putting a dab of toothpaste on zits to dry them out, so it probably has a drying effect. isnt there chalk or something in toothpaste? people put chalk on their hands to absorb sweat.
omg it would smell better than vinegar too (imo hahah)
-
Yea it’s lyk it dries them out and as u sed sells a lot better than vinegar. Lol. It defo works as I have done it a few times 2day Jst to make sure it wasn’t a 1 off thing, lol. Let me know how us all get on. xxx

Wish I'd read this sooner. I just purchased a couple new grip aids when all I needed to do was open up my medicine cabinet and voila! Well now I have 3 grip aids to play with! Thanks for the tips! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Lol, ur welcome ninja sarah. Was totally by accident I came across it, lol. It’s like it dries out ur hands which is perfect fr those like myself tht suffer really sweaty hands n hope this tip helps u. I’ve tried 3 different makes of toothpaste and they all worked. I’ve tried grips aids b4 and none of them have helped lyk toothpaste has. I hate grip aids as they seem to make ur hands all sticky which is useless wen on th pole. Let me know if I have any joy with it also. 🙂 xxx

How is it after a couple minutes- 1/2 hr? What finish is the pole you’ve been trying this on? Are you warmed up, the pole warmed up, room ventilated (?spell)
I have BAD grip and I have tried so much ideas, waiting for pine tar! And it all comes down to (for me) the different conditions of me, pole, room, weather/temperature.
Paste or gel. Haven’t used toothpaste idea yet. Vinegar is working out normally- yes everyone knows when I’ve been around! -
I get really really really sw
eaty hands. I’ve tried with & without warming up. I usually have to wipe the pole after 1 spin, pole trick. I used my pole for 1hr yeaterday after doing it & I still had a great grip. Let me no how u get on. xx
