Shout out for Tite Grip! That's my favorite anti-sweat hand grip aid for sure. I don't require nearly as many reapplications as Dry Hands. I know some girls who use Tite Grip then some Dry Hands over top.

oh really! hopefully that works for me too ordering asap! thanks :)
I use tite grip for the sweating, but sometimes I find it leaves my hands chalky, so I use spray rosin overtop for some stick. Cramer Tuf skin brand.

I use tiny amounts of liquid climbing chalk to counteract sweat but I layer it over mighty grip so my hands are sticky but dry. It's important that the mighty grip is tacky before you put the chalk on though. If I'm really sweaty I use mighty grip, then tite grip and then maybe a little chalk on top. Elektra - that Cramer tuf skin looks like strong stuff!

I know I'm kinda late, but I had questions about the Cramer tuf skin also. I notice the girls in my studio use it in their whole body to help stick to the pole better. They sell at the studio $20 a can. I didn't want to pay that much since its like a 4oz spray can I think, but if it works then I might invest.

It sounds like your studio has considerably marked up the price. Cramer Tuf Skin is $20 for an 10oz can on Amazon, and the can lasts for months. It can also make a bit of a mess on the pole, but it does come off with rubbing alcohol. I pretty much swear by the stuff.
I should have added to that last post that you also want to be careful not to use spray rosin too much, and to always try practicing moves without it as well, in order not to compromise the development of your grip strength. Here's a great article on the subject, by an aerialist (but it applies to pole, too): http://www.laurawitwer.com/2011/08/12/tuff-or-buff-how-spray-rosin-can-sabotage-your-training/
Laura Witwer, SassyPants Aerial Arts Tuf or Buff: How Spray Rosin Might Sabotage Your TrainingI have such a love/hate relationship with spray rosin (aka Tuf Skin or Firm Grip). On the one hand, I love the awesome flypaper effect it creates when I’m performing doubles and my partner is being…
