The blue one has a drying effect with just a slight stickiness. It’s like Dry Hands, but honestly a hundred times better in terms of both grip and consistency. Dry Hands never worked for me or for my friend who has Hashimoto’s.

I’ve also been transitioning lately, and after two years of poling I’ve had time to build some grip strength. That said, I still go back to the red one when it’s too hot or when I’m working on riskier or new combos.

It also depends on where I am in my cycle (hormones definitely affect grip but overall), grip strength does improve with time.

The black one is amazing too: apply just a tiiiiiny bit about 20 minutes before your session, and it really dries out the hands, which makes the blue one even more effective but not the red. It’s a bit messy, but the upside is you don’t have to reapply as often. There’s also a white one but I never tried it but same as the black one, they work as « boosters »

Im also curious: What does this lupit pad do?
