New Pole grip idea!!
-
Also it’s a chrome pole I’ve been usin this on. x
-
Ok…so as soon as I read this, I did like a little kid and ran to try this…thank god we use colgate…well…all I have to say is that my pole and I will be smelling minty fresh in class tomorrow!!! Yayy 🙂
-
Did I find u had a better grip on it pole. If not try ribbon the toothpaste onto dry hands as then rinse and towel drt thorough. xxx
-
I did have a better grip…I also felt my hand very dry after washing them, it was like using pole grip
-
And it’s a lot cheaper than buyin pole grip, lol. And the best thing is u don’t even need a lot of toothpaste. Glad to see it worked for someone else also. 🙂 xxx
-
yes!! thank you so much….I'm on my 3rd bottle of pole grip already!! I was thinking of getting the gloves from pole grip, but they are so expensive….I already packed my toothpaste for tomorrows' class!! 🙂
-
Lol, your welcome, glad to help people save money as pole grip is quite expensive where as u can buy toothpaste cheap & on the plus side I & ur pole will smell minty fresh, lol. I bought the gloves and don’t feel they make a difference especially for people who get really sweaty hands as ur hands still sweet user th gloves and ur gingets stil show so the sweet goes to ur fingers which makes u have a slidey grip so it’s lyk ur not wearing the gloves 🙁 also they seem to rip & tear very quickly mines are coming away at the seams already 🙁 u might find them better than what I did but me personally I wouldn’t recommend them huni. xxx
-
I use colgate it is my fave tooth paste so i will try this my next practice & let you know how it goes!
-
I did a short work-out after using toothpaste as a grip aid, and it worked for me. Yea!! Sweaty hand problem solved. 🙂
-
Woohoo, so glad I’ve helped others get a better grip & also saved u’s money aswel. *Walkin around with massive cheesy smile now* lol… I love usin toothpaste now, lol. I’ve never had such a great grip ever!! And the best part is it doesn’t Jst last a few minutes, it lasted for a whole hour of on the pole, yea stil had to wipe th pole a few times but not anywhere near as much as I was. Hope every1 has joy with this. 🙂 keep me updated and let me know how us all get on. xxx

Whenever I apply Tite Grip, it reminds me a little bit of toothpaste! It probably is!
-
Do you think toothpaste (or alcohol wipe down) might help if the grip problem isn't sweating, but cold pole/skin? Any ideas? My apartment gets really cold in early autumn before the heat's turned on, and I can't do the sitting/climbing/crucifix I could do last week (before it got cold!). Today I did SV's basic warm up and then the pole strength routine, and I could do them for a little bit (yay!), but then my pole and skin cooled off pretty quickly and I started sliding down again…At least, I hope that's what's up, and I didn't just lose my strength all of a sudden!!! Can't wait for our heat to turn on – I need to climb lol!

I live in the U.K. and once Autumn comes I'm just sliding down my chrome pole but I warm up the room and warm up the pole with loads of spins and use shaving gel which really helps me to stick. I think some Australian girls recommended shaving gel on this site awhile ago and it really does help.

Eatvegancookies, I had the same problem when I lived in Minnesota. I would warm up and my pole was warmed too, but then, if I slowed down, or took even a short break I would cool down to much to grip. It seem to help if I put Lubriderm lotion on the night before I danced. Also I found that, the Titanium gold finsish worked best for me in cold weather.

Eatvegancookies – yea as my pole is usually quite cold wen I use it as I don’t get a very good heat in my house and it does help wen if my pole is cold. Let me know if u try it and how u get on huni. xxx
