What Pole Grip should you pick?

Take the test to see which grip will work best!

Choosing a pole grip can be seriously overwhelming (and not to mention pricey!) until you find the one that suits your body. The truth is — your grip needs can change depending on a bunch of things, like:

What type of pole you're using (chrome, brass, stainless, powder-coated?)
The weather or season
Where you're at in your monthly cycle
What you ate or drank the day before
Whether you've used moisturiser, fake tan or sunscreen

So... How Do You Pick a Pole Grip?

There’s no one-size-fits-all grip. It’s all about trial and error. Personally, I find that:

In Winter and Summer, my skin is dry or clammy, and a hand grip alone is enough.
In Autumn and Spring, my skin is a wild mix, so I need a strong hand grip and something for thighs and knees.

What Is Grip Aid?

Pole grips come in many forms: liquids, gels, sprays, lotions, or resin-based formulas.

Liquid chalks, drying agents, and antiperspirants = best for sweaty skin
Gels, resins, and sprays = best for dry skin

Let’s break down what each of our faves actually does:
