One size fits most. Swips bands are washable terry cloth with stretch, so they sit comfortably on most adult wrists. There is nothing to choose and no size chart to check.

Wear the band on your non-dominant wrist. The rosin pocket faces the inside of your wrist, where your playing hand can reach it between points.

Fabric. Terry cloth. 85% cotton, 12% spandex, 3% nylon. Made in China, designed in Newport Beach, California.

Remove the rosin insert before washing. The insert is not washable.

Machine wash the band cold and air dry. No tumble dryer.

When an insert stops giving you a clean tap, drop in a fresh one from a Swips Rosin Insert Refills 2-Pack. The band is built to outlast a lot of inserts.

Yes. Swips solves sweaty hands, and hands sweat the same way whatever you are holding. Tennis, padel, golf, baseball, rock climbing, lifting. We built it for pickleball because that is where the problem found us.

The USA Pickleball rulebook does not restrict what you put on your hands. It does restrict what goes on the paddle face, so keep rosin on your palm. Other sports set their own rules, so check yours before a sanctioned event.

What goes into a Swips insert is our own blend, not straight rosin. We blend rock rosin with magnesium carbonate, the drying mineral gymnasts chalk up with, so it takes the sweat off your skin fast and leaves your hand feeling dry.

Rock rosin itself is pine resin, dried and ground. A baseball pitcher keeps a rosin bag on the mound. Gymnasts use it before the bars, and so do climbers, weightlifters and bowlers. Violinists run it along the bow so it does not slip on the string.

Because plain rosin does not know when to stop. Pine resin softens as your hands warm up, so it keeps building on your palm. Play a long session and it ends up on your paddle, your towel and your phone.

Our blend is built to behave. The magnesium carbonate dries as the rock rosin grips, so you get enough to stop the paddle moving and not much more.

You will still find residue on your paddle grip. We are not going to pretend otherwise. That is rosin doing its job, and the grip is exactly where you want it. The aim was never zero residue. The aim was just enough grip, in the right place.

Our own blend of rock rosin and magnesium carbonate. That is the whole list. For external use only, and keep it out of reach of children. Rock rosin is a natural pine resin and a small number of people are sensitive to it, so if you have a known pine or rosin allergy, skip it or patch test first.

One insert lasts weeks of regular play for most people. When a tap stops leaving your hand dry, drop in a fresh one.

Not yet. White is where we started.
