    I’ve ordered carpe lotion and the lupit pad.

    Wish I could sell all my other grips that were only used a couple of times 🙁

    I appreciate all of the replies. I will try those hand exercises, thanks @StrangeFox.

    I don’t really have a problem with my body sticking. I just swipe a bit of dry hands on my inner thighs/back of knee and I’m OK. It’s just my hands, but that causes all the problems of course.

    My hands don’t really sweat through the day but as soon as I’m working out it’s like my hands are soaked. It’s quite embarrassing. I can’t do everything at class because of it even though I am able to do the moves (on not-as-bad-sweaty days)

    Like I mentioned I’ve been using Drysol each night on my hands. They’re so dried out you can visibly see the flaky skin 🙁 But still, after a few min on the pole they are still sweaty. I just don’t get it.

    I’ve seen the Lupit pad but I’m a bit skeptical…what is on it that sticks to the pole?

    Yesterday I FINALLY was able to record a new video at home (I’ll post it here when it’s uploaded!) but I had to wear my Mighty Grip gloves the whole time.

    Might be a dumb question but where do you buy normal chalk?

    Still not sure what product to try next…I don’t have hundreds of dollars to keep trying new ones :/ :/

    I feel so embarrassed! It’s like having a new pole 😀 I can’t believe I was over-tightening it for a year (oops). I just tried it yesterday and it spins AMAZING now. Thanks for your help!

    Thanks! I haven’t tried carpe or tite grip yet. All of these grip aids are costing a fortune :/ I also bought a bodybuilding one I forget the name.

    It sounds like carpe and tite grip are pretty similar. Not sure which one to try.

    Might be a dumb question, but how do you know how loose it can be so it doesn’t fall over? I didn’t know over-tightening was a thing. I definitely turn that thing until it’s almost impossible to turn anymore lol.

    So how do you know? I picture the pole falling down, smashing into the wall making a gigantic hole, or worse, falling onto my parrot’s cage that’s within range. Would be horrible!!

    Thanks 🙂
