Better Grip with Baby Powder+H2O

I have always used baby powder to improve my grip while stretching. But over the past couple of weeks I have needed a even greater grip due to some of the exercises I have been trying. After a short period I would start to slip. I did something very simple that improved the grip 2 fold. After covering my hands in baby powder I put a small amount of spit or water along the stretching portion of my hand. Just barely enough to make it damp. This creates a better traction for me and I can hold a more intense stretch twice as long. Stupid little bit of information but hopefully it will help someone.

I agree. I think baby powder is essential to any stretching program. It’s weird, but I get the best grip right after toweling off from coming out of the shower, yet this only lasts a for a brief period.

I noticed this as well. A little water does increase the friction!

DLD, have you tried the golf gloves yet? Unreal stretching powah… :)

Every morning since you posted that I have wanted to try it. I just can’t get out of the house. I have been working on some new stretches that require even greater hold and I am hoping your glove idea will help me. I will give you a full report when I do it. Hopefully today Jen can get them for me.

Want me to find you some cheap ones via the net?

Wally world will be your best bet though. Don’t have to be name brand, just made of thin leather and fit your hand :)

You are such a friend RB:) Thanks anyway, I will have Jen get me them tonight.

Yeah, a little moisture on your hand will help the grip. It’s been happening on it’s own anyway since I use a moist washcloth for my hot wrap before I stretch.

And also, I don’t know who originally brought it up, but if you take a shower before you jelq and use Irish Spring soap, after you’re dried off, it does provide some kind of almost tackiness to the skin and makes for a better grip. I forget who originally mentioned it, but yeah… it works with Safeguard soap too.

Then again, if you use corn starch instead of baby powder, and a little water, you’d basically have a crude glue to use for your grip… but that’s just crazy talk, right?

DLD, just finished a stretching session and thought of this thread.

As you know I pe in an office environment. I tried baby powder before, but it left too much scent and was too much of a bitch to carry to the bathroom with me :)

I’ve been using regular white paper towels, like the roll kind they advertise on tv (Bounty, etc). I take a full sheet and rip it into four equal squares. I use one square per session. I get a really strong grip with it. Plus it’s the ultimate in stealth… :)

You may see what that does for ya, but the gloves are even better. I just need to get my own ass out and buy a pair.

That’s another thing. Golf gloves are usually sold individually, left hand for a right hand person and right for a left hand person. She’ll need to look for both hands. If Walmart doesn’t do it, I’m sure there’s a golf shop around you somewhere.

I’d love to be there to see the look on the staff’s face when sexy Jen walks in all perky and hot and aks where the keep the golf gloves cause her Daddy needs a better grip on his shaft :)

I don’t golf and don’t even know what golf gloves would look like, but I do train with weights (not just my dick :) . I wonder if the leather weight training gloves would do the same thing, and they are readily available in most department stores. Just a thought…

LOL

I use powder and water myself; however, while I was helping at the senior center the other day and I wearing rubber gloves, to protect the food I touch, I decided to bring some of the gloves home to see how it would help my grip for stretching. It helped a LOT, to say the least. I haven’t tried golf gloves, but perhaps rubber gloves would be an alternative.

I used to use work out gloves, but the leather is very rough. So now I just stretch after i get outta the shower.

There is a huge difference, weight lifting gloves would not do, the leather in golf gloves is extremely thin and almost sticky.
