brass pole problems

Phoenix Hunter started this discussion · 12/5/2013

ok, I'm probably the only person who would have the nerve to complain about this: my brass pole is too sticky!!!! seriously, it is tearing skin off of me. I find it very hard to do simple spins on my pole. I use chrome and titanium gold at my studio and they are so much easier to use. I am lucky that my body will stick easily to all 3, but it sticks too much to brass. can I do something to my pole to make it more slippery? I had to use lotion on my hands to do spins today and I have sweaty hands! but if I use lotion on my hands my body will slip on the pole. there has got to be a better solution. I have an xstage, 3months old. can/should I buy a chrome pole for my stage? I don't like practicing at home because of this pole.

Try rubbing lotion on your body maybe the lotion would make it less sticky and painful. I have a chrome I slip off easily I like brass because im always sweaty

Have you tried ? It makes your skin moist and slides easier without losing grip. I have the same problem with my inner thighs and sometimes knee pits on my titanium gold pole so I know how you feel.

I was actually thinking about getting . I think maybe my skin is too dry. I'm glad you mentioned that you used it and have had success with it. I will give it a go.

If Dew point alone doesn't help add Mighty grip over the ! The two worked great on my cold brass yesterday.

Oops just saw you stick too much...then adding mighty grip might make it too grippy!

Yes, I've had that issue before with brass. There are two ways of helping. Either your hands, spray a squirt in the air and run your hands through. Or use my DGP. It will help stop the sweat, but also make your hands very soft and dry. If you leave it on for at least 3-4 minutes, then put a few drops of water in your palm and rub your hands vigorously together, it will exfoliate your skin and make it really soft and dry.
