Finally.. The answer to sweaty hands
-
itac is a grip aid that helps you stick to the pole and dry hands is an antitranspirant that stops sweating and adds a little grip as well.
If you're having trouble with sweat a grip aid alone is probably not gonna help as you're gonna sweat right through it. Though if you just have trouble sticking to the pole (coldness, dry skin, …) then grip aids are helpful.
I still like the vinegar, it allows me to work on moves that I'm already comfortable with for a long time until I have to clean the pole. It doesn't really help for moves that I'm not really comfortable with yet though. For those moves I'm still cleaning the pole after every trick.

RoseMay, thanks, that makes a lot of sense! I dont necessarily have sweaty hands (maybe mildly so), its more that my pole is cold and in the winter I have dry hands so a really BAD combo! lol. so you use the vinegar to wipe the pole in place of alcohol? when does the rubbing alcohol come in? maybe at the end of the pole session to wipe/clean it down? lemme know! thx again!

This is interesting! We have a few ladies that suffer so bad from sweat hands, I'm bringing some to the studio to try. I do have a question though for you sweaty palm girls, have you ever stopped wearing anti persperant under your arms to leat the sweat come out there instead of your hands? We have tried this at our studio and it seems to help.

I'm going to try this because I sweat a lot on my inner thighs and my hands and I have a chrome pole at home, so always slipping is slowing me down. I don't practice as much cause I get frustrated with the constant slipping.

No, malt vinegar is not white vinegar. Malt vinegar is made from barley, is brown and has a distinctive flavor (used on fires and potato chips a lot). I want to say that it may leave a sticky residue.

So, yes or no to using diluted vinegar on a TG pole?? Would really love to try!

I have a medical problem called Hyperhydrosis which is excess sweating of the hands and feel ALL the time, not just while poling. To put it this way, if I put my hand down on a normal piece of printer paper, I'll soak it right through.
What works for me is Dri-Chlor which is very strong anti perspirant deoderant. I put this on my hands and feet every second night when I get in bed and it dries and stops my hands sweating completely!
I know for a lot of people this may be extreme, but vinger, windex, anything doesn't work for me while poling. I use dri hands which helps my grip while poling too. -
I’m definitely going to try the white vinegar because I sweat way too much by the time I do like three pole walks and a half spin ill try to grip like a sit and I’m already to moist just that fast and I slide down lol I have to wear boots just to stick because I’m so sweaty the mighty grip doesn’t work for me either and that really sucks sometimes I mean it looks sexy in all lol (boots) but them thangs get hot …so I’m trying that today! 🙂 Thanks ladies an gents.Or gent I think I seen a male post too:) Toodles

Ive been using hair spray but gonna try the white vinegar
-
Wow. I recently posted about being overly sweaty with pole, now it seems iv got an answer! Defo going to try this vinegar on my hands 🙂
-
Will distilled white vinegar affect a powder coated pole? I realize that a small amount used on the hands wouldn't affect it too badly in the short term but over time would the finish start to tarnish or will the grip be affected in some sort of way?

All I currently have on hand is Apple Cider Vinegar and Cake Vodka.
