    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!

    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.

    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.

    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:
