The White Monkey Hands is the gentlest formula in the range. It’s made for people with naturally dry hands who don’t sweat much and don’t need heavy drying power. This version contains no silica, so it doesn’t behave like traditional chalk. Instead, it creates a thin, invisible film that enhances friction while nourishing your skin. If you prefer a natural feel with light grip support and want to avoid overdrying, this is the perfect conditioning pole grip for you.

The Blue Monkey Hands formula is ideal for those with mild to moderate hand sweat who want a balance between dryness and hydration. It contains silica and alcohol for gentle moisture control, plus propanediol and ferment extracts to keep skin soft and healthy. The result? Dry, smooth hands without stickiness. Blue Monkey Hands doesn’t contain rosin, so it gives a clean, powder-like grip perfect for pole dancers, aerialists, and calisthenics athletes who prefer a non-tacky hold.

The Red Monkey Hands is the classic quick-dry formula—a simple, effective blend of alcohol and silica.
It’s designed for people with light to moderate perspiration who need an instant “dry hands” effect.This version acts fast but fades faster, as it saturates with sweat over time. It’s ideal for shorter training sessions or performances where quick grip activation is key.

The Green Monkey Hands combines the power of the Red formula with extra grip-enhancing ingredients.
Along with alcohol and silica, it includes rosin (pine resin) for light tackiness and longer-lasting hold, plus propanediol and ferment for skin care. It’s suitable for people with moderate to heavy sweating and provides more stability and endurance during training.Many athletes consider it the most balanced and versatile version—powerful yet skin-friendly.

The Black Monkey Hands is engineered for those with very sweaty hands and intense daily training routines. It features a strong blend of alcohol and silica for maximum drying, paired with glycerin and plant extracts to protect your skin from irritation. This formula delivers a durable, non-slip hold that stays effective longer than classic grip aids—without causing excessive dryness. It’s perfect for advanced pole dancers, aerial artists, and athletes who need consistent grip and performance every day.

Most versions of Monkey Hands are clean and residue-free, leaving no visible marks on your pole.
The Green version (with rosin) can leave a slightly tacky film that’s harder to remove once dry. That’s why some pole studios prohibit rosin-based products, as they require more effort to clean from the pole surface.

Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before use. Apply a small amount of product to clean, warm hands (after warm-up). Let it dry completely before touching the pole. Remember: less is more. Applying too much or layering over old product reduces effectiveness. If your grip fades, wash, dry, and reapply rather than adding more on top.

The difference lies in application timing and activation. Monkey Hands should be applied after warm-up, when your hands are already warm. Sahara Grip is applied before training and activates as your hands heat up during movement. Both work brilliantly, but they suit different routines and preferences—Monkey Hands for immediate dry grip, Sahara for gradual activation and longer hold.

The Green version stands out thanks to its rosin (pine resin) content, which adds a touch of tackiness for better stability. The other colors act more like traditional liquid chalks, relying mainly on silica and alcohol for their drying and friction-enhancing effect. Depending on how the silica is modified, each version provides a different level of strength and durability, making it easy to find your ideal match.

Standard liquid chalks (such as Ocun) use magnesium carbonate and alcohol to aggressively dry the skin.
While effective, they can cause over-drying, irritation, and cracking with frequent use. Monkey Hands, on the other hand, is a hybrid grip that combines drying, friction-enhancing, and conditioning properties. Depending on the version, it can absorb moisture, create a micro-film, or add mild tackiness—offering better skin care and longer-lasting performance.

Common mistakes include: applying too much product, using it on wet or cold hands, layering over old grip that’s already saturated with sweat. Monkey Hands works by absorbing moisture—once it’s full, it stops being effective. For best results, wash and dry your hands completely before reapplying, and make sure you’re using the right version for your skin type. Everyone’s skin reacts differently to metal, humidity, and temperature, so it may take some experimenting to find your perfect match.

You can easily remove Monkey Hands using: isopropyl alcohol or acetone, a pole cleaning spray or wipe, soap and warm water for your hands, for the pole, simply wipe down with a dedicated pole cleaner to restore a smooth, residue-free surface.
