For i while ago i used odi longnecks but i wear them out in about 1,5 - 2 months
For two weeks ago i put on some munity grips and now they are about to wear out=(

-Is it because i didn't wear em in properly? (does it help boiling em??? Heard it from a BMX forum)
- Or is it beacause i wear gloves?(can't ride without, get f'ed up blisters)

goodness...and i thought i wore out grips fast. yeah dude i get mad blisters all the time. i just man up. just try not wearing gloves and wait for the next grips to wear out. then youll know if its your gloves or not....btw im pretty sure it is your gloves

Rock the blisters dude! haha.

But yea, could be your gloves. Never heard of someone wearing out ODIs that fast. I think you should just keep trying out some other grips, till you find one that suits you.

I've had mine since the fall of '08, and they aren' even worn that bad. they just have little spots where my fingers go where there's no grip. it's actually quite comfy :)

It's probs the gloves but ive been wearing grips out quick also with no gloves and my mates do the same also so it just happens. Just deal with it.
maybe you streched them out too far?

animal edwins and duo homans are both really soft so i wouldnt get those in ur case

boiling grips just makes ur grips softer so dont try that either cuz youll wear em out faster

About the blisters, if you let them heal then they become caluses and that solves that problem! And Ive been using Mongoose grips for about four years of just riding around and a few months of serious riding and they are still great..
