Enough with the sweaty skin already

Ok, so lastnight I was having a much needed practice workin on a lot of inverted stuff. I am a sweater. All over. Always have been. It's just the way my body rolls LOL 😂 When working out anyother way (weight lifting or running) it's never a problem, I just towel the sweat from my brow and keep it movin. But once I started sweating lastnight my sides and tummy got a nice little glisten and I couldn't stick to save my life! It was so frustrating! 😈 I stood there and practically sprayed my body down with alcohol and stood in front of the fan to dry but it didn't help. I had a towel and was toweling off and that didn't help either.I almost killed myself falling out of a Gemini cuz my side was so slippery I just went Floooooop! 😂 Does anyone have a secret for sweat on the pole or am I just going to have to end my practices or try other things when it gets to that point? it always happens when I'm just getting warmed up 🙁

I know some people take Dry Hands and put it all over their body... I just have problems with my hands sweating, so I can't vouch for it. I have a couple bottles of Dry Hands that you can have, Sissy - I find that I prefer Tite Grip, anyway. I can bring them to USPDF next week and give them to you, since we're sitting right next to each other for the pro comp... (if you want them, just an offer 🙂) ~Journey aka Foxy Rei

I considered dry handsing my whole body but then I would stick too much. Or so I thought....I'll have to try it out.

I wish I could pull off dry hand-ing my entire body too...I actually tried it once and someone said - hmmm your really ashy today LOL...never did that again - boo 🙁

I feel ya! I never had this much of a sweating problem until the last couple of years or so. I don't know where it came from. I sweat really bad at night. My lower back, stomach and booby sweat 😳 I now use Secret Clinical strength anti-persiperant and use it on my lower back and under/between my boobs and it keeps the sweat away. You are supposed to use it at night and it lasts the entire next day. Plus by then it is absorbed into the skin and leaves no residue when you are poling!

I use dry hands on the backs of my knees, elbow pit, back of my shoulder and pretty much anyother body part that might need it when the sweat seems to pour
