which grip aid for really sweaty hands?
-
My pole is an S Factor pole and I didn't know about Xpole or I would have gotten that, but my pole is super slick it doesn't matter what I use. My hands get super sweaty any ways, so no matter ehat I do I have used the powder from mighty grip, tiger grip, and iTac2 level 4 which works for a while, but then I'm sliddign again. Its aggravating because I have a hard time getting a good amount of practice because I'm sliding. When I wipe my pole I use rubbing alcohol. So it's better to use vinegar instead?

Try vinegar, tite grip, dry hands. If none of those work, go for mighty grip gloves with tack.

I got samples of iTac2 for pole, the normal and extra strength and tried the extra on my chrome x-pole which I’ve had major slip issues with and oh my god, it was amazing. I like dry hands but I find I am constantly putting it on, doing a move, having to dry my hands on a towel, doing a move, and putting more on. The iTac seemed to last a bit longer and not come off on the towel as quick. I haven’t tried the normal yet. In saying that all the girls at my studio hate iTac and swear by dry hands or Tite Grip.
I love Light at times too, depending on the weather, in fact the main problem I’ve had with it – upside down in an invert and attempting to slide and realizing I’m glued to the pole…. Epic fail on the slide. But I stuck. Now the weather is warming up tho I’m finding it a little slippery.
Have never tried shaving cream but I know a few girls who love it. -
At the studio I stick just fine because its brass, but I think for home I'm gonna have to get the gloves. Do you put shaving cream on your hands or on the pole when you wipe it down?

The only sticky grip aid I really use is corn huskers lotion (on the body.) ITac and corn huskers lotion on the hands can make you slide more. Mighty grip is more for hands that need more stickiness. I think platinum grip can be used on hands and body.
I tried oall the antipersperant grip aids and drysol deoderant on my hands. Nothing worked to stop the sweating for me, so I use the gloves.

The mighty grip gloves are the best thing since sliced bread! I used the Mighty grip powder on my hands at first but when i got the gloves i just the powder for the nucks and crannies together they are a great combo

@sensualscimitar: I've tried all the mighty grip products, iTac 2 level 1&2 and nothing worked. So I went straight for iTac 2 level 4. So far I've been very happy with it and it works great for me, even greater than I expected cuz my hands refused to get off the pole lol. I also apply a tiny little bit on my legs and tummy to prevent sliding since I sweat a lot. But sometimes it can be painful to do some sliding moves so now I just choose to constantly wipe the pole with some alcohol and my body with a towel if it sweats. Hope it helps 🙂

It works with your hands sweating?
-
it does for me, but every 30 mins I have to wipe off the old iTac and put some new on cuz it seems that the sweat turns it into something "funny" 😀
-
What is good for your inner thighs? My inner thighs sweat like a Sinner in church.
-
@Cantetinza17: LOL you're funny! Well towels and iTac level 4 work for my inner thighs. You can try if you want 😀
-
@Cantetinza17: or you can apply some chalk for rock climbing on your thighs if you don't want them too sticky with iTac 🙂
-
I will try both, I already have iTac4, so I'll try it.

Just letting you guys know, Tite Grip reformulated their grip aids for high activity and severe perspiration. Tite Grip I Original has long lasting drying power and a strong dry smooth grip. Tite Grip II Lavender (coming out by the end of this week) also has long drying power, dries clear and a more grippy feel. You can also use it all over the body like between the thighs, behind the knee, on your shoulder, side of your waist, whereever.
sensualscimitar – I GUARANTEE one of the 2 new formulas WILL work for you. 😉

I do not have this problem but most of my friends do. And they have it bad. Tite Grip has been their savior!!!!!
