Pole Dancing is challenging enough without having to worry about the slip to grip ratio level of our skin. Like any sport or skill, we want to minimise factors like sweat or dry skin so we can focus more on our performance and execution of tricks. For years companies all over the world have been manufacturing chalks, liquids and waxes to not only match our skin’s natural stickiness but enhance it too. It is true what they say - there’s no grip strength quite like your skin, but factors like sweat, dryness, climate and certain skin care products can often leave our bodies too slick to stick. This is where Monkey Hands latest grip boosters come in handy.

No two pole dancers are exactly the same and neither is their skin, so treat your armour with a polish that’s uniquely tailored to you and throw yourself into shapes with flipping, gripping confidence. Whether you need a remedy for dry skin, clammy palms, or maybe both depending on the day, Monkey Hands gel-grip formulas work to prolong and increase the effectiveness of your favourite grip product. 

We’d recommend the Hydro Grip Booster. This product’s non-oily formula will help add a sticky moistness to your hands to elevate the stick of your grip. Clean your hands well before use, apply a small amount and rub evenly across your palms. Wait 30 seconds and you’re ready to nail that killer combo! This product can either be used on its own or applied as a base layer before applying your normal chalk or grip. Avoid applying too much in one go as this may slow down the skin’s absorption. Instead apply a small amount to begin with, then add little by little throughout your pole dance session should you need it. 

We’d recommend the Dry Grip Booster. This product is designed to help those who tend to struggle with sweaty palms and it will be a life saver during the more humid summer months. Similarly to the Hydro, you only need to apply a small amount between your palms, wait 30 seconds and you’re good to go! This formula not only works as a grip enhancing aid on its own but will improve and lengthen the effect of other grips, particularly one of PJ’s fan faves, the Monkey Hands Sticky gel. Unlike a lot of grip aids, the Monkey Hand boosters are not made using pine tar, meaning they are far easier to remove from your pole using just water as opposed to harsh acetone or chemicals. 

At the end of the day, you understand your skin best, rather than looking for that one grip aid that matches your skin’s needs perfectly, it can be helpful to have a booster that adapts a multitude of grips to your specific needs. Whether you’re using the Monkey Hands boosters on top of Monkey Hand grips, other grip brands or by itself, you’re guaranteed to feel the difference and elevate your pole performance with these boosters.
