Are you dry or sweaty? It all depends on your skin type. Why do you slide? Sweat or from dry skin?

I have a video on you tube about this and I review some products. Tnksdrmgrl is my channel.

i think both…lol sounds weird but sometimes its cuz the pole is cold and im just getting started, then when it warms up my hands sweat, not that much tho…so idk! lol
-
ok thank u i will check it out!
-
Most people are both. I like and itac for when I am warming up. I like mighty grip for sweaty hands.
-
ok thanks so much for the reply!

Before you go for the expensive stuff, run over to walmart and get some corn huskers lotion. Smera that all over your body. That will help you stick to the pole with your body. If your hands are sweating, spray some distilled white vinegar on them (cleaning isle), that sometimes helps decrease the sweating for some girls. If your hands need some extra grip, an instructor recomended "heel to toe peppermint sloughing lotion" for my hands. I tried it when I was trying her stainless steel star stand alone and it was cold and super slippery. It totally helped with my hand grip (it is counterintuitive that a lotion would help with grip, but it WORKED!)
Also, you MUST lotion every night. Hydrated skin grips better. Get some "Vaseline total moisture conditioning" lotion and put it on after you shower. You can even pole after putting it on, just let it dry. My skin grips so much better since I started using it! It's glycerine based. It is really awesome. Walmart has a sampler bottle for less than a dollar that you can try.

FYI, if I REALLY am struggling, I'll use some iTac. I find Dew point to be about the same as corn huskers lotion.

also is there a certian brand to look for with the peppermint lotion??
-
Heel to Toe is the brand. Never thought of that as grip aid. Hmmmmm….(runs to bathroom cabinet)
-
My absolute favorite grip aid is called Liquid Grip. It is made for weightlifting but works great with my skin.

cool thanks!

Heel to Toe is a subtle grip, so if you are looking for something to make you cling, then you will definitely need something stronger. If you want to try it though, it is only sold at Sally's Beauty Supply. Worst case scenario is you don't like it as a grip and you have a nice foot lotion.
I got my corn huskers lotion at Fred Meyer, but I KNOW I've seen it at Wamart.
Is your body lotion glycerin based or oil based?? Oil based lotions may add a little slipperiness to your body that you don't want .
