The author is having trouble sliding down their newly installed home pole, finding it too sticky after washing it. They are used to poles at clubs being easier to move on and are wondering how to rega

Well after my un-level ceiling debacle I finally got my pole up and started retesting the waters so to speak. I definitely thought I could just jump on and start off where I left off...Boy was I wrong lol I can picture the moves in my mind and the steps but can't execute them. Well any who that's not my problem. So I washed the pole down before using it so I wouldn't fly off like superman, but now I get stuck there like spider-man I cant slide down it for the life of me. I just hang there for what feels like hours until I get tired and let go. Soo how the hell do I slide down. LOL I mean I know how to but I can't actually do it same with my hands I can't walk around it to spin unless its on spinney cause my hands suction cup the pole so to speak. I'm confused cause I was never able to keep myself from sliding off in the club. 🤔

I dunno what you washed your pole with but there might be some people out there who would like to know because they slide too much. 😀 Maybe you should try wiping it down with a different solution. I use rubbing alcohol. If that's what you used I don't know how to help you other than to tell you to evaluate your climate where your pole resides see Veena's "Tempermental Pole" article for that if you haven't already. G-luck Spiderman!

Maybe you're gripping it too tight? what kind of pole do you have? Is it a different finish then the one you used at the club? My pole at home is chrome and I swing all around on that thing. The poles at the studio are brass and I have a harder time there because they're stickier.

Its an x pole chromed plated, and my grip is light I used a sponge with with some Palmolive soap and a damp cloth and then dried it. I believe most gentlemen clubs use either brass or stainless steel which are much more tackier then chrome. Maybe I stripped too much of the grease off it. I know the clubs rub polish on there's monthly along with greasing the bearings to help maintain the finish and rotating function.

Sometimes my pole is slippy, sometimes it gets really tacky. I know if Im on it too long it is super warm from my body and i stick like glue to it. Sounds like maybe a weather issue? Try getting on it during different times of the day... maybe that will change the stickiness of it? Definitely check out Veena's temperamental pole article she put up (if you havent already), like Jazzy recommended.
