Chemical Grip aids:

Chemical grip aids enhance the friction between your hands and the pole. They increase the stickiness and reduce sweat, allowing you to complete your routine with confidence.

While grip aids aren’t always the solution, they combat the issue of oily and sweaty skin allowing you to maintain a secure grip without slipping down the pole.

Pro Tip: If your skin is dry, the grip aid can’t create the necessary layer of moisture. Instead, it further dries out your skin and makes it more prone to slipping. 

Strength Grip:

Hand and leg strength plays a massive role in your poling performance.

A strong grip is essential for:

• Maintaining control
• Supporting your body weight
• Reducing the risk of injury
• Enhancing endurance
• Boosting confidence

Without proper grip strength, executing even the most basic pole fitness moves can be a daunting task.

Skin Grip

While it’s tempting to rely on chemical grip aids for maintaining your grip during pole dancing, it can also lead to drying out your skin, leading you to have to use more and more. Developing a natural grip allows for confident and fluid movements on the pole.

Healthy skin enhances your pole performance by:

• Providing optimal friction: healthy skin results in the right amount of friction with the pole, enabling you to execute your moves with confidence.
• Enhances skin elasticity: well-hydrated skin has improved elasticity which helps prevent pole kisses and tearing when performing your routines.
• Minimising skin irritation: Healthy skin is less prone to irritation and chafing caused by frequent contact on the pole.

How to improve your skin's overall health:

• Stay hydrated: ensure you drink at least eight glasses of water a day. This helps improve blood circulation, allowing your skin to receive the necessary nutrients to stay healthy and function properly.
• Use a gentle cleanser: After a sweaty pole dance class it is essential that you wash off with a gentle cleanser. Gentle/natural cleansers will not strip your skin of its natural oils.
• Moisturise: Moisturising every day can reduce the chance of developing dryness and therefore slippery skin.
