At Tenura, we know Grip Strips are a go-to solution for improving stability and preventing slips in a wide range of settings. They are traditionally used to keep items securely in place, from holding a cutting board steady in the kitchen to stopping tools from sliding around on a workbench. But that is only the beginning of what they can do.
Grip Strips are more versatile than many people realize. Their flexible, tacky, non-slip design makes them useful for all kinds of creative and practical applications. Because they can also be cut to size, there are even more ways to customize them for everyday use. With that in mind, here are some clever ways to use Tenura Grip Strips that you may not have considered before.
Stop Glasses from Sliding
Few things are more frustrating than constantly pushing your glasses back up your nose. To help keep them in place, cut a small piece of Grip Strip and attach it to the inside of the arms where they sit behind your ears. It is discreet, comfortable, and adds just enough friction to help prevent slipping.
DIY Wind Blocker for a Microphone
If you need to record on the go but do not have a windscreen for your microphone, a Grip Strip can help in a pinch. Wrap it loosely around the head of the microphone. Its porous, rubber-like texture may help reduce harsh wind noise while also making the microphone easier to hold.
Comfortable Pen or Pencil Grip
If your hand gets tired while writing or drawing, try wrapping a small piece of Grip Strip around a pen or pencil. It instantly creates a softer, easier-to-hold surface. This can be especially helpful for people with arthritis, children learning to write, or anyone who wants a more comfortable grip.
Better Grip for Game Controllers
Long gaming sessions can make controllers slippery, especially if your hands get warm. Adding Grip Strips to the back of your controller can help reduce slipping and improve control. As an added bonus, they can also provide a softer, more cushioned feel during extended play.
Non-Slip Mug Band
Create a custom non-slip band for your coffee mug by wrapping a Grip Strip around the outside. This can make the mug easier to hold and reduce the chance of it slipping from your hands. It is a simple solution for seniors, children, or anyone with limited dexterity.
Heel and Toe Grip for Shoes
Place Grip Strips inside the heel area or under the toe box of your shoes for extra traction. This can help if your shoes feel slightly loose or if you want to reduce friction that may lead to blisters caused by your feet sliding around inside the shoe.
Non-Slip Smartphone Grip
Cut a small square of Grip Strip and attach it to the back of your phone case for an instant non-slip surface. It is a simple way to improve your grip and make your phone feel more secure in your hand.
Backpack Strap Support
Wrap Grip Strips around your backpack straps to help stop them from slipping off your shoulders. This can be especially useful for school bags, work backpacks, or outdoor gear. They can also add a little extra cushioning for comfort.
