sex wax for my preference. but my surfshop gives me free sticky bump for buying things like traction pad, wetsuit and etc. i have more sticky bump than sex wax but still gotta use it since its free XD

why do so many people use sex wax? i hate it. smells great, but it never gives me enough traction. mrs. palmers mighty mounds is probably my favourite, then regular mrs. palmers tied with magma

oh, i find the mrs palmers to give me more than enough traction and sex wax none. i do use sticky bumps base coat, then warm or tropical (it's been tropical water temps for a few weeks now) mrs palmers on top. that's weird that we both use the opposite for the same reasons

it makes, as the package says, smaller harder wax nipples. or something like that. it works good for me though. magma is pretty good, i like the smell of it and how it has the coloured beads so you know what temp it is when you have like 3 bars in your bag

I switched from Sex Wax to Magma. Not sure if the Magma is a better tropical wax but from warm to cold IMHO it is great. The Magma tropical maybe a little soft.

the best wax i ever got was some random off brand that i never heard of and it kind of smelled a little like a urinal scenter haha...but it made some really nice bumps and gave me more traction than ive ever had with any other wax

Terra Wax - hands down the most longlasting and grippiest wax out there! Highly recommended!
