Happy Anniversary!!

Ladies I would give your poles more time if you haven't owned them for very long. It doesn't sound like it's had enough time to be conditioned. My brass is still pretty slippery since I've not used it enough to get it good and grippy. I've toyed with the idea of doing the X-Pole how to for shining up your original brass to make it a high shine finish, but then remember I should give it a chance first.
Also if I could go back again and do it all over, I may not have had the chrome PC'ed. I jumped the gun before getting the pole conditioned fairly. Remember they do have a break in period.

Oh and the burning you are talking about is going ot happen no matter what kind of pole you use, because your skin isn't used to it. It will toughen up as you practice more.

The coating hasn't come off my pole and it will be a year in March since it was done. You will have to call around to the different shops in your area that do powder coating and get price quotes. I got mine done for about $65. After you pick a place, you will bring in your pole and explain to them what pieces move and need to be covered up, next you will look at all the colours they have(sometimes they might have to order your colour if it isn't in stock, which will possibly cost extra.) The powder stuff looks like mineral eyeshadow.

Yes I had my pole pc'ed last winter and came out great. There are pix of it on my page in the album titled "purple pole".

@Kat; Yes my pole went from being very slippery to being very grippy, only drawback was sometimes I stuck too well. LOL! You will want to call around to the local powder coating places in your area and get estimates. They should have many colours to choose from and the stuff looks like mineral makeup almost. Yes! Ohhhh…the possibilities https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Since you were asking about powder coating. I got my chrome 50 X-Pole powder coated last spring. So yes you can get it done. Mine was purple. There are pix on my page. Plus in the second thread, there is a linky that explains how powder coating works. I paid $65 for mine, which should be about the average price. Make sure to call around to get estimates.

@Mizzgabriell; If your flow is very heavy a Lady Cup is NOT for you,trust me. The holes in it are staggered so both sizes cannot hold that much fluid. I have 2 of them and had to go back and start all over and select a different brand. I will post again the LJ link for cups. They will have size comparison charts, and pictures of all the different brands, so you can visually see what they look like.

Also there is a cutting your teeth period with new cup users. I do hope you find something that will work for you. Good Luck!

I would echo what PDR said and definitely look up youtube videos for different folds and see if one those might work. Also could try in the shower to. I have done the water trick before, it does work, I'd just suggest warm water 😛

Happy Birthday Webbie! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Thanks Keex. I did wonder how Karol had placed this weekend since I had only saw they Announced Michelle and Alethea. Wasn't able to find any info about the competition on their page.

Spooky you can do it!!!! Remember to always think positive. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I started my journey back in Feb and couldn't do ANYTHING to save my life. Oh how I'd get frustrated with myself and be upset. But the gals here on Veena were able to help me and be a positive light on my journey, plus even had a couple of them make quickie videos to explain a move to me and that made a HUGE difference. We're all in this together!
I always mutter to myself "I refuse to let the pole defeat me!"
Don't be afraid to turn on some music, kick the bf/kids/whomever out of the pole space and let yourself go to town. Even if it's just holding onto the pole with your hand and walking around it, feel the music and let it move you.

http://www.femininewear.co.uk/ This is where I bought my MeLuna's from. Great site, wonderful service.

http://www.femininewear.co.uk/ I ordered mine from here. Super amazing service!

Forgot to add these cups are made from medical grade silicone or T.P.E.

YW Ginger! I use MeLuna's also and adore them immensely. Yes no TSS from using tampons when using a cup and you won't get micro tears in your vaginal walls from inserting a tampon. I am very pro cup and get a lil crazy over it. And in a woman's lifetime if she stuck with pads, she'll throw about 13,000 of them away into the landfill.
I have tried Diva (the largest on the market), and it was just too big for me. I also have used and own Lady Cups, they're nice and beautifu colours, but the staggered holes are a pain and therefore cannot hold as much fluid. So finally had to go back to the drawning board and purchase another brand, which was my MeLuna's and they've worked beauitfuly ever since. I have the ones with no stem/ball/ring plus on all the cups I've owned. I filed down the ridges or cut the stems off and smoothed em out with a file, just have to be careful you don't go to far. Soft Cups are alright, the disposable cups, but they're different shaped and don't want to insert nice and will twist on me trying to get them in right.

P.S. Please read the live journal link ya'll!!! So much info!!!!!

YOU CANNOT GET TSS from reusable menstrual cups. It's medical grade silicone!!!

I adore my cup, and the website above is chock full of information about the different types of cups and other reusable menstrual items. I know everyone is always so quick to recomend Diva but it's the largest out there on the market. There are many many other brands available, granted they will come from overseas and you also get many more varieties and colours. Soft Cups are alright, but they always seem to want to twist inside me while trying to insert them.
@Tea; I haven't noticed my cup shifting while poling yet, but I'm still pretty new and not doing real power moves quite yet.
P.S. Reason why I am real big on people checking out the livejournal site is because of all the info available, I don't want someone to spend the money on the cup and find out that size/style didn't work for them and have to go back to square one. I originally bought the Diva myself and it didn't work for me so had to start over again. I did find one that works for me and it's the MeLuna.

It's a pity that pole dancing carries such a stigma. I do hope things like this will help champion a better attitude towards pole dancing in general. Like someone in the audience was saying, you can sexualize anything if one really wanted to try. Gymnastics the girls are doing the same things we are, just they're on a horizontal beam, but of course that's OK. /sigh
-
My parents don't know I'm doing this yet, unless someone in the family has opened their yap over it. And if they did, my parents are keeping totally silent. I also have very few actual family members on my FB page.

I'll have to try and remember bendy buddies on those days.
