-
I haven't tried it on my hands. Maybe chemmie would know. She was one of the who recommended it to me.

i mean the corn huskers on ur hands too, guess i will jus try it

Cocoa butter is a no no. That will sit on top of your skin as opposed to being absorbed. Not sure about the corn huskers and hand grip. I read about it on another forum and know that many poeple have found success with it. Nymphadora is a regular user during the winter months. I like the liquid grip just because the stuff stays on your hands….and I mean STAYS, even through a light washing!

I use corn huskers everywhere in winter inculding my hands. Or did lately my grip aid of choice has been . Even on my hands but I always keep corn huskers here as well. And in my purse, just in case lol.

oh it should be noted I have the DRIEST skin on earth. I could literally slather myself in oil and in minutes its totally soaked in and within an hour I'm getting flaky again. I rarely sweat. I clean stalls in jeans and a tshirt in 85 degree temps and never break a sweat. Humidity is my friend not foe. So I'm a bit odd lol.

ok i notice when i get my hands a little damp they grip better, does this mean my hands r dry? im thinking they r more dry since there r white cracks in my fingers lol they dont seem to sweat too often just here and there
-
Nymphdanser, me TOO!!! I can use lotion AND !!!! My skin will flake off on my clothes and carpet when poking and cause slipping if I do not grease up! Lol!!!

plus it is winter, dont hav this problem in the summer really

Sweat actually helps you stick to the pole to a certain degree. It gives you a tackiness. Wet sweat is when you hit a problem. If your hands start sweating to the point of making you slip, then you should use a grip aid, but if it is HELPING you stick, then let it be. It is a matter of glistening versus pouring if that makes sense. Clammy versus wet hands.
-
ya mine def dont sweat that much i am pretty sure they r dry too so i got some corn huskers! cant wait to try it out later, my hands feel sticky so far whn i put it on!

Different products may work for different people…it also can depend on the pole finish. I prefer Grrrip brand product for myself and find that most of my students use it but there are many great products out there that work under different conditions and work differently for everyone.
Here is a link to my list of grip products:
