What's the difference between replacement and overgrips?

Does overgrip just go straight over the grip you already have? And replacement you take it all off until it's just the wood handle?

Replacement grips are also meant to last longer than overgrips, though this is not always the case...

I found a grip I loved on a racquet and replace my new racquest immediately with it. The I put WIlson H20 over those grips so I get the cushion I want with the dry feeling I desire.
My setup both sold at TennisWharehouse.com

Wilson Cushion-Aire Perforated XL Grip
