Hi, I got my mat from Pole Dance Mat.co.uk its 6 inches thick and cost £150 plus p&p around £15. They do sell 4inch ones for about £120. I really thought long and hard about getting a mat because of the cost but its been well worth it, after over a year of using it 3 to 4 times a week the stiching, foam and cover are as good as new and the foam is really good quality. They sell in several colours, round or square I spoke to the guy there first and he was really helpful. Hope this helps,

@Tara, I tried some of my husbands creatine, I gave it about twenty minutes to work,and I noticed it def gave me a quick explosive kind of strength, so I was able to get in and out of my Superman more easuily and have more strength for getting some combo I was trying. I've only used them a few times but they def add some power to my poling. I haven't taken them enough to make notice any physical changes and I'm still an intermediate poler.

Love it !!

My pole is in the kitchen and sometimes I forget it's there and wonder what the postman or whoever I've answered our door to is preoccupied with looking at, its the pole!! The meter reading man came the other day and he was totally mesmorized by it, so much so he walked straight into it!!! oops 🙂

I originally got a 50mm sport but after a year bought a 45mm Xpert because of joint pain in my fingers. The 5mm difference didn't seem like much but I could get my fingers around the pole and I was able to attempt thing I didn't feel comfortable with on the 50mm. I think a 40mm would be great and I'm sure you would soon adjust with thigh holds etc and if you are keeping your 50mm it would def be a good choice.. Let us know how you get on. I want one now 🙂

Thanks again everyone I'll take another good look on their site. I hope a M/L will be o.k as I take a medium in the Bad Kitty shorts and if the shorts are stretchy these should do. I've just got a thing about side ties, lol
@ Tarah I'll go take a look at the Lucia's. I did see that they had loads of new colours etc. I checked out the Bad Kitty Iron X top but unfortunately they don't yet make it any bigger than medium and I know I'll need large as my spiderback top just fits snug 🙁 Did you get an email back from Poledance mat U.K, re shipping costs or are you going with the Lulu mat, it does seem to have good reviews just a little pricey for the professional sizes.

Thanks everyone for all your help, I'll take another look at their site again, I think I'll def get the Mikaela shorts because I love those side ties and maybe another pair of shorts too . I wonder if they do the Iron X in large yet, Badkitty did say on their FB page that they hoped to do more tops in bigger sizes once they'd tested everything. I hate it when I invert and my boobs spill out!!

Loved it,

Hi Organic Angel, What colours did you get? I got black and red, the pink looks cute but we can't get them yet from X pole U.K, I love mine too :):

I got a 6 inch pole mat from pole dance mat.co.uk. i've used it for a year and the stitching, velcro etc is still perfect. It says on their site they do ship overseas but I dont know if the cost is going to be astronomical to the U.S. This mat was cheaper than the Lulu mat and I was a little apprehensive about the quality but its been brilliant really well made. It may be worth looking into. The 6 inch mat is £150 or $237 4 inch mat is around £120 or $189. and 2 inch mat £70, $111. They make them to order, 5 colour choices square or round I got round.

I used to get sore and stiff fingers when I used a 50mm pole, especially when I woke up in the morning. I have smallish hands so I swapped to a 45mm, and now I hardly ever have any problems, I did stop doing so many spins and concentrated on other moves, with the odd spin here and there.

I'm 47, 48 at the end of this month and started poling just over a year and a half ago. I personally do not know of anyone who poles which is one of the many reasons why I love this site so much, it's really inspiring.
When I started poling I never thought I'd invert, it did take me 6 months to feel strong and have enough courage to try but I was so excited that I'd achieved it. I just take things a little more carefully now I'm older. I'm still quite flexible but poles def got me stretching again as things did start to tighten up after 40 !!!

Hi Tanya, I'm from the U.K too and got my pole from one of X poles dealers Pole dance heaven basically a sport pole is about £150 this is a static or not spinning pole and an Xpert which is both static and spin for £199.00, I have had both sport and Xpert and mine never moved at all, but I do check it reguarly and tighten when necessary. There are a lot of used poles on Ebay UK just beware of fakes. I love my X poles and have always had pretty good customer service. 🙂

I love Badkitty brazil shorts, my hipsare about 38 ninches and the medium size fit great. I love them, nothing shows when You pole!!

I've just been browsing on YouTube and found this video of her doing her signature move, a 25ft drop from the ceiling, OMG, I hope she'll be ok.

I started with a 50mm, and bought a 45mm after a year, I found it to be a lot easier on my wrists and fingers. I am about 5ft 5 with smallish hands, so it was a good choice, but I wish I'd been able to try both sizes before buying the 50mm I think it just depends on your personal preference but I really love my 45mm and find it great for leg/thigh holds too.

Hi Michelle, When I first started to pole I bought a 50mm and I would notice that the morning after I poled my fingers were swollen and achey and I had to wriggle my fingers and work them a bit to feel better, this continued for a year until I bought a 45mm X pole . My hands are on the smallish size and my grip didn't feel as secure on the 50mm, so perhaps I was gripping too hard and overstraining the tendons or joints. I've had tthe 45mm over six months now and my hands are tons better no pain in the mornings anymore 🙂 Hope this helps.

I originally bought an X pole 50mm as I had never poled before, I loved it but my fingers didn't. I bought a 45mm a year later and had no problems with thigh grips etc, it just felt so much better for my wrists and fingers. I'm 5ft 41/2 inches but I have smallish hands and the 45mm def helped me get more moves because I felt more secure with the grip, I only pole at home so there was no problems with switching between sizes, I would love to try the 40mm 🙂

Karol Helms, Felix, Tiffany Hayden and I also love the way AnneMarie Davies dances, so strong and sexy.

Just thought of one, Powder blue, I think it starred Jessica Biel. 🙂

I love Luckygirl1220 and Webswe vids on Youtube, I found them several months ago while searching around youtube , 🙂

Its probably worth sending them an email if you havent received anything after a couple of weeks or so, I think mailto:they@re sent priority parcel post or something. I remember the postage being around $50 for the set. I've just checked on my old emails and Joy quoted 6 to 10 days to the U.K. so fingers crossed you'll get them soon. Fiona x

@lasenzagirl
Hi, I pre-ordered the box set and was told they would take about 10 to 14 days to arrive as I'm in the U.K. too and they are sent as priority post. I was really excited as they arrived about 9 days after the release date, via Fedex. I love them, theres so much content on each one, so hopefully yours will be with you in no time 🙂 x

I did read a post by Collette Kakuk on Felix Cane's Fan page Facebook that the dvds were at the production house and were scheduled to ship last Friday 14th, so hopefully we wont have to wait too long, but I haven't mailto:rec@d any emails either and as I'm in the U.K. mine will take a couple of weeks to get here. I'll watch this post to see when you ladies get yours 🙂
