Hi all polers, Thank you for all info so far! Moisturizing the skin does help! But never ever wear any skin lotions when you are poling. Beyond that it's unsafe, I've heard it can take some time before the pole behaves normally again. A thing I do, dear polers :), is to moisturize my feet for example, cause if I don't they soon get dry and even a lil bit chapped. When that's the case, I can't for example perform a box split or a cupid with no hands on pole, which I normally can do, cause my lower foot just slips down the pole. But when I moisturize there is a biiig difference. :) I think moisture and maybe some care helps the skins physique and keeps it moist and elastic which I think is a key to get a good grip on the pole. Moreover, my hands tends to get sweaty often when poling, so I use Dry Hands, a gel that repels sweat and humidity. I think it's really good and I highly recommend it! But keep in mind to not overdo it with that gripper cause it really can make your hands dry, here in a bad manner. ;)
The Pole I Bought From S Factor Is TheX Sport, I Believe, Which Is Also Very Slippery. I've HaD It For Three Years And Although It' Better, It Is Still Very Slippery When It' Cold. I Stick To Veena's advice And Make Sure I Warm Up BefOre Session A Pole session. This Works For Me Everytime Unless My House Is Extremely Cold.
Cold poles are always unpleasant. They lose so much grip! And are uncomfortable to pole on. Consider to also start your pole sessions with some spins and climbs to warm up your pole and yourself. If your floor is very cold, you'll lose the heat you've struggled for more quickly. I have the same problem at home. Sometimes I put a mat on the floor around the pole and it helps a bit.
