sweaty hands and dry legs!
Hi everyone! I just started pole dancing a few months ago. I took a few classes but because of a sceduling conflict I had to stop so I got myself an x-pole sport (chrome) so that I could keep practicing. I’m slowly getting better but it seems like as soon as my hands touch the pole they get sweaty and I slide right down! I just ordered some tight grip online but I was wondering if anyone has any natural remedies for this?

I don’t have any other solutions for your hands, but I have an idea for your legs. When my legs are dry, I put corn huskers lotion on them about 20 minutes or so before poling. It is really cheap and available at walmart and various drugstores. It has been a life saver for me. That specific lotion has never cause me to slip during climbs and such. It can be a bit much for my hands on occasion. I usually try to pole, and if it is a problem, I wash my hands with dish soap.

For sweaty hands, I would recommend Dry Hands – it’s basically liquid chalk and dries on your hands within a few seconds of applying it. This is my go-to when I start sweating.
For dry legs, I have two suggestions. If you like grip products made specifically for pole, I would recommend DewPoint Pole. It’s a grip product that moisturizes the skin, and it worked really well for me when I was having grip issues due to dry skin recently. I applied it once and it worked well for 2.5 straight hours of poling.
My other (cheaper) suggestion is using Aveeno daily moisturizing lotion or Aveeno overnight cream. When I applied these the night before poling, it actually made my skin grippier the next day. The daily moisturizing cream worked pretty well for me, while the overnight cream actually made my skin TOO grippy – which is really saying something considering I have dry skin and live in a dry climate. It might work well for you, though, depending on your skin and climate where you pole. I wouldn’t apply this the day of, since that made me a bit slippery, but I found using it the night before worked well for me 🙂

If your hands sweat and you want something cheap and natural try vinegar.

Oops hit enter too soon! Dry legs this combo works great, but may cause hands to slip if they really sweat. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/52ab9aba-a310-41ab-83d6-636d0a9aa0eb
