wearing in grips?

[Toddy]

what do people mean when they say you need to wear in your grips?

When you first get grips, they're all hard and uncomfortable. When you wear them in, it means you're wearing them in lol. They'll get softer and more squishy and also you'll begin to wear down the rubber and when you wear them in too much, that's when you buy new grips

Ok because my first pair of odis, my hands would sweat and they would be really slippery, will wearing them in change that at all?

yup, im running odi's right now. i have had them on my scoot for a year and a half, and they're still good condition although the rubber is almost down to nothing haha.
