My problem I'm having at the mo is that when I get into position and then I slide directly down the pole holding the position. Its due to nerves I know coz when I am waiting my turn I'm getting more and more nervous. Its an absolute nightmare coz its stopping me from getting D and extended butterfly and the thing is I know I can do them both! I'll let people know how I get on :) I’m gonna try the alcohol method, coz to me this makes more sense in that it gets rid of all dirt and residue.

It's called Dew Point Pole. It comes in 3 levels and there is a sample pack that lets you try all 3 for less than $10. Lina-There is a product that helps if your skin is too dry.

I have very sweaty hands and nothing was working so I went with washing my hands in soap and water and just holding on for dear life as soon as I felt my grip slide. Takes much more work but it's much more rewarding in the long run-to your wallet, if nothing else!

As for gloves X-Pole sell some check out their website and have a look at the accessories. If you find the gloves cover your hands to much i found fishnet fingerless gloves helpful as they cover enough skin to help you slide easily but also have the grip between the pieces of fabric when you need it Lina- i don’t know how to correct your dry hands problem as the use of any lotions are not recommended prior to pole dancing…Perhaps if you regularly moisturise your hands and ensure you don’t do it right before you use your pole???
