Update: I've sold the pole. 🙂
-
Oh, Momma, I have those shoes too! They are my FAVES! So comfy! 🙂

Does it spin? 🙂

YES! Please DO let us know. When I found out she was coming the fist time I tried to sign up but ALL her classes sold out SO FAST I couldn’t go. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif
I REALLY want to have a chance this next go round! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_compress.gif -
My vote’s for Thursdays. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I’d LOVE to join in on this too! My schedule changes from week to week, but I’ll show up for what chats I can. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Thursdays usually are pretty good for me. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif

I second spinnyfox’s comments! Whether I am working out hard or just standing outside in hot weather, I tend to look all flushed like I’m dying. The pole just exemplifies that unfortunate tendency.
Yes! People look at me all worried-like if I take an aerobics class, I get SO red! Eh. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

Same problem here! And it’s the same for me too…head, face, neck, shoulders…yeah. I think people with a certain skin tone deal with it more than others. It seems to be more common in people with paler, pink undertones (that’d be me!) Nice to know you’re not alone, and that there’s nothing wrong with you! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

My very first crush, the lady and the video that made me fall in love with pole was Bobbi!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlJeU6JlJsYNow I’d have to say my main crushes are (in no particular order):
Blue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb6e3VQV8iY
RhiannanNichole http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bqDnOHuN7o
Karol (my absolute FAVE vid of hers!) http://ver3.studioveena.com/lessons/view/2831
Marlo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo1WJcB3SU4
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gifI love MANY more dancers as well, but these ladies are my main squeezes! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Very cool!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Hope it works out for you!! Sounds like a lot of fun! I wish there was a place like that close to me, ’cause I’d love to teach some basic classes, too. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif -
I’m still trying to work out the details so I can come on Sunday…that is if it’s not already all full! If I can’t make it out I hope you all have a blast!!!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

BRAVO!!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
That was brilliant! I love it when you can tell a dancer just absolutely LOVES what they’re doing, and they invite the audience into their world of passion for it as well! As far as enjoyability goes for me, I’d much rather watch a girl who exudes passion and joy in what she does and maybe doesn’t nail it on the precision side then to watch a girl who’s textbook but lacks feeling and passion in her performance.
She was awesome, and I enjoyed every minute of watching her. That’s what I’m talking about! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif -
True talent! I love seeing REAL artists and genuinely gifted singers/performers these days! The true talents are becoming harder and harder to come by, but she’s definitely one of the few. YAY PINK!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Rubi,
Yeah, when I insert it it’s all the way in, pointed towards the tail bone, and spins with ease. I DID just do some online searches, and I found a forum about menstrual cups. I found a thread where a girl was having the same problems as I did, and she tried inserting it with a different fold than the usual "C" fold. She said it started working much better for her. So…I’ll have to give that a try when my cycle comes back around (in a week or so). I’ll let you all know if it works for me (since I’m sure you’re just DYING to know https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif ). Here’s the link to that forum in case any of you are interested in some more detailed reading on the topic. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_ugeek.gif
http://menstrualcups.org/"I’m so glad you found a (potential) solution! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
Thanks for the link; I had no idea there were sites dedicated to the wonders of menstrual cups. I really would be curious to hear whether or not this works out for you. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif I had never thought of trying different folds.
YAY!!!! So, I tried my Diva Cup again this cycle, using the "oragami" fold instead of the "c" fold, and WHOOHOO!!!! It works! I’m SO happy!! I will say though, that it made me realize how insanely heavy my periods are! Yikes! Kind of weird to be able to measure your "loss", but very informative. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif
I’m so glad that I stumbled upon this forum, and then researched the subject a little further. Now my purse, my body AND me will be happier. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Thanks, RUBI!
For any of you ladies who’ve had the problem of the cup not staying in, watch this instructional video on how to insert the cup (don’t worry, it doesn’t show "real" lady parts!), and try the second fold that they show you. That’s the one that ended up working for me. http://www.mooncup.co.uk/advice-centre/faqs.html#237"

I clicked on this thread thinking it was about boobs! LOL. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
HA!! I did the same exact thing!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif

yeah, I watched all of those, which they were all fantastic! I just REALLY want to see Marlo and Karol too! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops_ani.gif

AHH!!I’m DYING to see their performances too!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
I searched and searched online but couldn’t find a stinkin’ thing yet. Surely SOMEBODY recorded their performances??? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif -
I love my height, 5’10.5", I’m a force to be reckoned with when I slap on my 7" stilettos! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif
LOVE my long shapely legs
I love my hips, butt, and boobies (just the right size)
I love my blue eyes
I love my fair skin and dark hairYay!!!! That was FUN! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Hey Jeremee!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
I met you a few months ago at a Saturday intro to pole free class at your studio! You were SO much fun! I don’t know if you remember me, but myself and a couple other girls had come down from Athens, and we actually signed a release form and stayed after your class to play on the poles for a few minutes! (My real name is Felicity). Anyway, I don’t expect you to remember me, but if you do I’m impressed!
This is such an AWESOME website and community of polers! Glad you’re here now too!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif -

That’s no fun; I’ve never heard of anyone having that much trouble keeping it in. I guess it isn’t for everyone. I’m glad you posted though; this thread was getting one-sided; it’s good for more, differing opinions to weigh in.
With that said, I would argue that spending that $25-35 to find out whether or not it will work is a worthwhile gamble. The average woman spends 150-200 dollars (US) annually on tampons and/or pads, which is a far greater expense. The economic climate is kind of tough right now, so anything that can save $100+ every year is a big help.
That got a little convoluted so bottomline of what I was trying to say: It’s probably not for everyone. There are plenty of reasons you may not want to try it, but expense shouldn’t be one of them. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif
I would definitely agree that it’s worth trying out if you have the money for it! If it works for your body than the savings are HUGE!!! That’s one of the main reasons I really wanted it to work for me, along with it being non toxic, and earth friendly. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
All this talk about it has made me want to wipe the dust off of my box and give it another try. Wishful thinking, maybe, but It sure would be nice if I could get it to work for me. Too bad it’s not one of those things you can get a friend to help you out with in person! "Hey, am I putting this in right??? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif lol! -
Don’t mean to be the party pooper, but I HATED the Divacup!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif
I bought one about a year ago for all the reasons listed here, and I was so excited! I’ve had 2 kids, so I bought the one that’s a little larger (made for women over 30 and women who’ve had children). It absolutely would NOT stay in place. I tried over and over again for months to try and make the stinkin’ thing work for me, but my body rejected it every single time. I read the directions a million times, tried inserting it all kinds of different ways when the direction way repeatedly did not work, and it still would slip out after about 45 minutes EVERY time, making a mess in the process! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif
It’s obviously one of those products that works great for some bodies and not for others, me being one of the unfortunate "others". Don’t know if it has anything to do with me having kids. It does say something about doing Kegal exercises if you find it’s slipping, but after years of doing those religiously after I had children, if it won’t stay now, it ain’t ever gonna stay. So really the question is, are you willing to spend the $$ (ranges from $25-$35) to find out which of those 2 women you are?
In theory it’s GREAT, don’t get me wrong! I really wish it had of worked for me. -
