At Tenura, we know grip strips are the go-to solution for improving stability and preventing slips in various environments. Traditionally, they’re used to anchor items in place, from securing a cutting board in the kitchen to preventing tools from slipping on workbenches. But what if we told you that is merely scratching the surface of creative possibilities?
Grip strips are more versatile than you might think. Their flexible, tacky, non-slip design opens the door to various imaginative (and genuinely helpful) alternative applications. Not to mention they are cut to size! This leaves so many possibilities open for you to get creative! On that note, let’s dive into some clever ways to use your Grip strips in everyday life, many of which may surprise you!
No more Slippery Specs
It is a universal experience to get frustrated with your glasses sliding down your nose every 5 seconds; it's time for a solution. Cut a small piece of the grip strip and stick it to the inner side of the arms (behind your ears). It's discreet, comfortable, and adds just the right amount of friction to keep your specs in place!
DIY Wind Blocker (for Microphones)
Need to do a bit of on-the-go recording, but don’t have a windscreen for your mic? Wrap a grip strip loosely around the head of your microphone. The porous, rubbery texture can act as a makeshift wind blocker, muffling harsh wind sounds while improving grip during handheld use (it’s a win-win!)
Ergonomic Pen or Pencil Grips
If you struggle with hand fatigue while writing or drawing, this is for you! Wrap a small trip around your pen or pencil to instantly create a soft, grippy surface. Ideal for people with arthritis, children learning to write, or anyone who appreciates a more comfortable, non-slip hold.
Game Controller Enhancer
Rotting on your game for long hours? Stick some strips to the back of your controller to reduce slip from sweaty hands. Bonus: It gives the controller a soft cushion feeling, enhancing comfort during marathon sessions and reducing the risk of moulding your hands to the controller!
Anti-Slip Mug Band
Create a custom anti-slip band for your coffee mug! Wrap a gip strip around the body of your mug to prevent it from slipping out of your hands, perfect for seniors, kids, or anyone with dexterity challenges.
Heel and Toe Pad grip for Shoes
Stick Grip strips inside your heels or under the toe box for added traction. It’s a brilliant solution for people whose shoes don’t fit quite snugly and those looking to avoid blisters caused by excessive sliding.
Non-slip Smartphone Grip
Cut out a neat square of grip strip and stick it to the back of your phone case. Boom – Instant non-slip surface. You could even use it as a discreet phone grip for a more secure hold.
Backpack Strap Comfort
Wrap the grip strip around the shoulder straps of your backpack to stop them from sliding off your shoulders, which is especially helpful for outdoor adventures, school backpacks, or work commutes. Plus, they add a bit of extra padding!
