An Xpole sport is only about $50 more than that pole. You can also pick up a Lil Mynx color for the same price or as the rest have said, check craigslist.

Amy had a blog post about aerial body waves a few weeks back. How is it originating from your chest? To me this is all abs, hips and legs.

There was a video posted recently from NY Pole Dance at their recital. I think it was Kim Wu. Also Nadia's routine from USPDF was outrageous and involved a chair. Flirty girl has some chair routines as well as urban striptease (I think you can find them on YT). Oh,…how can I forget our very own Sahrit?? You can search her out on facebook. She has a ton of chair routines posted (final product) but you can some good ideas from her. I am not sure what all Rodney James has when it comes to videos but he is also really good with a chair and burlesquey type stuff.

Charley, you must remember that Maria cannot walk without heels. Seriously…she trips and hurts herself without them.

Squeeee….can't wait to check it out! Have I told you lately that I love you webbie?? (no offense V)

blob….you know what I meant

Amy just did a really good blob about size does matter. http://aerialamy.com/blog/2011/12/09/buying-a-pole-thickness/

How do you handle bruising and swelling normally? Are you taking any meds for the pain?
-
The only two things that will prevent this is to keep the room warmer or buy a dehumidifier.

I had a friend send me that yesterday too on FB.

It also depends on what the "cush" material is. Think in terms of something like memory foam…all foams are NOT builit the same (the following info is from a memory foam site but its ideas are similar across the board).
For a material to be visco-elastic, it will have to be temperature sensitive and have an ability to rebound fairly quickly and return to its normal shape. Memory foam is graded by its visco-elastic nature and its durability by breaking it down into the following grading system:
1. Weight (Density in pounds per square foot):
The weight of a foam is determined by the amount of chemicals used in the composition of the polyurethane foam. The more chemicals, the higher the density and the more visco-elastic it will become. This density will not determine the hardness of the material, this is done through utilizing the ILD rating structure. Many memory foam mattresses use a 4 and 5lb. density, but some use as low as 2 and 3lb. densities.
2. ILD Rating (Indentation Load Deflection):
The ILD rating is going to tell you how hard or soft a material is. The 25% ILD rating is the number of pounds required to achieve a 25% compression of a 4" thick foam using a 50 square inch indentation. An Example of this is as follows: 20lb. ILD foam indicates that this material took 20 lbs. of pressure to indent this foam 25%. Keep in mind that the higher the ILD, the firmer the foam. This rating is synonymous with the abbreviation IFD (Indentation Force Deflection). IFD is still in use, even though ILD was created just for the purposes of grading polyurethane foam. You can assume that a lower ILD for the top layer of your memory foam mattress or bed topper can be a real advantage in pressure point reduction. However, too soft of an ILD or too thick of a very soft surface layer, especially without enough support underneath, can sometimes be problematic for low back sufferers. That is why the best memory foam mattresses use a layered effect that properly offers a supple enough surface to disburse pressure points, but gradually firms up in the layers below, with a very resilient support base used in the final layer.
3. Resilience:
This measures the foam's springiness by determining the percent rebound of a steel ball dropped from a height of 36". The term "H.R" (high resilient) foam refers to a highly resilient foam that will give a very high "ball rebound" reading. In general, the higher the resiliency, the better the more durable the foam will be with compression forces. However, with viscoelastic memory foam, less resilience indicates a better force dampening. This is due to less rebound pressure fighting the force of your body as it sinks into the mattress. Very high quality memory foam mattresses combine lower high resilient layer(s) with memory foam on the surface, so you get the pressure point reduction, while retaining the extra support below.

I have been on all sorts of materials but I also do not have problems with chrome. It really does come down to several factors. Are you slipping because you do not have enough strength, are you slipping because you are oily or sweaty or are you slipping just because you and chrome do not work well together? Do you ahve access to a studio to see if in fact it is the material and not just you needing to work on your grip. Do you have a 45 or 50?
I used to have a LM pink pole. During the summer it was hell trying to do anything on it. During the winter just like all poles it would sweat and be slick. I think when I was sweaty it was even worse than any of the metal poles because it did not have pores.
I have been on TG once and while it is grippy I know others who have slid right off it. I was not on it for extended periods of time, only one afternoon. Chrome is grippier to me, but like I said, my body reacts well to chrome.
Can you explain what exactly is going on with you slipping? When is it happening? Are you taking lessons anywhere?

Has it ever worked properly? Do you have it screwed on to the point you can no longer screw it any more? I know mine takes FOREVER to screw into place. Are you talking top or bottom loading?

I also have a tipped uterus and I have had 2 mirenas. In between the two I had nothing for about 3 weeks and did not experience bleedeing after the removal with the exception of spotting because there was difficulty removing it. I have never had children so insertion and removal were horroble. Not to mention when I went to have the second one placed she screwed up and I had to wait another 2 weeks for a new device. BUT even with all of that I would do it again!

I would never trust the airlines with my pole…EVER. As checked baggage you are looking at $25-$35 each way. Shipping it would probably be cheaper if indeed you need to travel with it.
