ITAC2® Extra Strength Pole Grip (45g / 1.58oz) – Long-Lasting Beeswax Grip Aid for Pole Dancing, Aerial Silks, Fitness & Sports – Natural, Waterproof, Anti-Slip Formula for Dry Hands

I’ve pole danced for 7 years and have bought this every time! Gives me the perfect amount of grip, and a little goes a LONG way. Less is definitely more when using this. I have sensitive skin, and have yet to have any sort of bad reaction. The only possible downside is that it will leave a residue on your body and pole but it can be easily washed or wipes off. It doesn’t stain clothes either!

I own a stainless steel pole, and since taking nearly a year's break from pole dancing, my grip strength has dropped by alot. I figured it was better to go for the maximum level of this stuff; better to have too much grip than not enough, especially since I usually set my pole to spin mode. I was expecting decent grip with the itac2, but didn't expect it to be quite that grippy.I used about a pea sized amount, maybe a little less, rubbed my hands together until it was evenly distributed, and waited 60sec. It dries to a slightly tacky feel; not sticky, or goopy, or anything uncomfortable. Testing my grip on the pole, it was like being glued to the pole. Wherever I put my hands, they stayed. This is perfect for doing any sort of trick that relies more on small points of contact (such as hands-only contact). If you planned on using this to do any sort of spinning (on a stationary pole) or sliding, forget it, that's not what level 4 is for. If you're learning a new trick & know you have the muscles for it, and are only left doubting the your grip on the pole, this can help you get over that hurdle until you build up the strength to drop to a lower level grip aid.My hands were waterproof as a result, and doing tricks that would normally increase sweating from my palms still left them dry and gripping great. Cleanup was very easy as well. Soaping up my hands & lathering them up was enough to get it off. When it came to the pole, I just used a rag with windex (alcohol should also work) and it came right off. The residue that came off on the pole wasn't sticky either, it was just slightly tacky. I didn't do any sort of longevity test to see how long it would last before losing grip. Either way, I'm very happy with it.

I could barely do a pull up on a pull up bar let alone pull myself up on a pole. So instead of buying a 300 dollar or more X-pole, I sprung for the Mi Pole at Spencers that is chrome (gets the job done by the way) but SUPER SLIPPERY!!!!! On top of that I have dry skin, and hands!! those two together equal a quick trip to the floor. After putting hair spray, baby wipes vinegar, alcohol, cleaning it everyday with a mild detergent, shaving creams on my hands and legs and it was still slippery. You cant break in a pole that you cant use, so I got this and I can stick to the pole now! Its like soft coca butter in a jar . You rub it on then 30 to 60 seconds (depending on how much you put on) it gives your hands a tacky feeling. The only thing is it smells a little strange but its not that bad. I can stick to the pole now so I really dont give a damn lol!!

I love using this pole grip! It is VERY grippy though, so if you like a lighter touch, this one might not be for you. I like to feel like I've been superglued to the pole, so this is perfect! I would recommend putting on early so that it can fully tack up, because otherwise it can actually be slippery. I haven't had any issues with irritation, even when putting it on my thighs. There is a lot in this little container. I didn't realize how long this is going to last me! really good value for money.

I'm still working through this a year later. It works better for the body than hands, but it gets the job done. When sealed with a spray, it works wonders.

As a pole dancer, this is the go-to tac! This makes a huge difference on all parts of my body as I hang upside down. Very sticky!

Love these

This is actually a reorder because I have gone through one container. I have been using pole wax for a year and love it. No rips at all. I put it on before the WOD and let it get sticky. Then do the WOD. It doesn’t wear off until you wash it off. It doesn’t stay as sticky as when you first put it on but it doesn’t stay protect my hands as I transition from the rug to my bar. I know the trainer is not in love with it because he says it leaves a sticky residue on the rug but I have yet to notice that. Nor has anyone complained. So if you are going to use it, keep it in the down low
