Pole Gloves to the rescue!

I have had sweaty hands for as long as I can remember. In high school I was on color guard and the short flag/pep flag team. I remember ALWAYS being paranoid about the flags slipping out of my hands because my palms were always sweaty. I couldn't understand why the other girls didn't share my grief. Now that I have joined the pole community I have discovered that I am not the only sweaty hands sufferer!

When I first started poling, I again ran into the issue of not being able to hold on to the pole well. I was constantly wiping my hands and drying them with the fan. Over the years I have tried literally EVERYTHING to stop my sweaty hands. I was always terrified of going into a spin, losing my grip, and whirling on my butt into the wall.

I've tried:

• Tite Grip
• Dry Hands
• Dirty Girl Poletice
• Certain-Dri 
• Drysol - prescription strength antiperspirant

I even tried adding tack with:

• Camers Firm Grip 
• Mighty Grip 

Grip Aids: Antiperspirant

There are tons of grip aids out there for pole. They come in two categories: antiperspirants and sticky (for added grip). Below are some of the different antiperspirant grip aids, most of which I've used. Not every grip aid is for everyone. Hopefully this guide will help you decide which one is for you. Note: I will be posting a separate post on the sticky grip aids.
