Dont be discouraged. We all have accidents and injuries and all that jazz. Just comes with the territory i guess, pole dancing is NOT easy and it is NOT the safest way to exercise, but is definitely fun. If you love love love pole dancing its worth the risk and you’ll just keep going. Maybe to help you get back on and get comfortable again put some mats down just so you know IF you do fall again you’ll have cushion. Eventually i think you’ll get comfortable again and kick those mats to the side when you dont need them.
Good luck & hope your face heals soon! -
Hmmm… i dont have a Lil Mynx pole so maybe someone here has had the same problems with the same pole….
It sounds like you’ve tried a lot of things already. Im surprised none of that worked! The only thing I could think of is possibly the temperature in your house? Climate can effect pole slippiness/grippiness. Veena wrote an article about this, here is the link: https://www.studioveena.com/info/2009/05/19/the-temperamental-pole/Also make sure you are warming up the pole before doing major tricks and such on it. Usually for about a song length I just do some basic spins and rub my hands up and down the pole to get it warm. A cold pole is never good.
Hope that helps some

Be very careful about puchasing x-pole merchandise on e-bay. I know its probably cheaper but Ive also heard some of it can be fake and you dont want to jeopardise your lovely new x-pole!!
YES! Be careful. I ordered mine from a buyer called Xpoleus. Totally legit pieces.
Cant say about the other sellers on there…. -
Yay!!! Bummer i missed it. So happy for you! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

So is hotlisting "favoriting" or "reporting"?? There are really only those 2 options when watching videos. Those and "share" but that would just bring up an html code. Dont know why you would be notified of that…… hmmmmm https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif Im curious! If someone faved you already and that didnt show up as hotlisting then Im guessing it means one of your vids was reported? Dont know why someone would report anyone here tho… Webby or Veena help please?

It IS a very exciting thing!!! I remember that feeling. Every time i heard a car outside I’d run to the window to see if it was the UPS man, lol. I was the same way when I was waiting for my new pole (I dont know who ordered it from but I got my newest pole thru Veena and it only took 3 days. Woot!!!). I was bouncing off the walls til it got here https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif
Such an exciting thing, but no one really understands that but people who pole so dont be discouraged if your bf doest share your excitement, lol.
So happy your getting your pole soon! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I have both a 50mm Chrome & a 45mm Titanium Gold. I love them both! TG is grippier but is best on spin mode. It also hurts my hands more than the Chrome but that will pass as I adjust to it (I just got my TG a few days ago). As far as the width goes, the 45mm is awesome in the fact that I can wrap my hands almost completely around the pole…. but it also leaves less pole space to grip on your thighs and such, but i havent found that to be a big problem. 45mm is best for petite girls though so if you are on the bigger/taller side you would probably be best with 50mm.
*shrug*
When in doubt just go for the basic 50mm Chrome. Its a great pole. You really cant go wrong with it.I have my pole on Carpet, and it is great. No problems there.

You can order extension pieces on Ebay (the cheapest way to go), i had to do that with my Chrome when I moved into my new apartment. My ceilings were too tall and i had to order an extra piece. Just make sure you measure how long you need so you dont end up getting one thats too short or too long (like i did… had to order 3 times, LOL). The only piece with a lip I can think of is possibly the bottom pole piece that attaches to the base (my new pole I got has this)… but if its hollow & very thin then yes it is the cover for the extender on the top pole piece and is optional to use (i personally dont use it).
Hope that helps!

Welcome!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
I had that problem too, first starting. The constant sweaty hands is more of a nervous type response (i think so anyway)… it will get better as you get comfortable doing moves. Thats how my body worked at least, its different for everyone! You can also try grip aids if you want to go that route. There is a thread about it in one of the forum sections, cant think which one off hand. Sorry. But if you would rather go au natural just keep a hand towel near by and just keep wiping them off.
As far as the pole burn goes, your skin will adjust to it, it cant really be helped. Its a part of learning. It WILL get better though, promise! Just work thru it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif -
I finally got it!!!!!!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif
Holy cow ive been trying this forever it seemed! Sorry, i just got so excited I HAD to post about it here! (none of my other friends understand my excitement) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif
I will include it in my next video (coming soon), along with the Butterfly which I just got down a week ago. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif -
Did my challenge! The video is a little dark, but I was testing out my new red lights so I didnt know how it would turn out. Its not too bad though, you can still see me well enough! Enjoy https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

Awww Glitter! Dont get yourself down about this. Unfortunately, like others said, the entertainment industry is very based on looks and weight and blah blah blah. It sucks but its fact. As to why there were other bigger girls working there, perhaps they have been working there a long time, or are friends with the manager, or a million different things. Try not to let it get into your self esteem. If you want to lost weight or tone up, great! But do it for YOU, otherwise its not gonna stick or you are going to be incredibly unhappy doing it. You are beautiful just the way you are and a talented pole dancer. Anywhere would be LUCKY to have you. *hugs*

Welcome to the site! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
Peekaboo poles are no good, unfortunately you had to find out the bad way, eek! Dont be scared of all poles though. There are some AMAZING brands out there that will not come crashing down. Xpole is fab & is based in the UK so shipping for you should be quite reasonable. Platinum Stages & Lil Mynx are also good poles (but i myself havent tried them). Any other brand are iffy and i wouldnt risk it or waste the money. The poles mentioned above are a bit pricy BUT they are VERY much worth the money.
When I first started I made the mistake of getting a Little Sexy Pole and that thing was ALWAYS coming loose. Spring loaded extenders are crap! But yeah, then I went to an Xpole and believe me, once you try a pole thats really made for pole dancing your fear of doing a spin and it falling over will become nonexistent https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif
There are some topics in the "Poles" section of the forum that would probably be helpful and reassuring for you as well.
Hope that helps! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif So sorry you are feeling so down and out. The other ladies had some great suggestions! But yeah, just try try try to set some time apart for yourself. Take a hot bath with some soaks and some music & relax for a bit. Maybe go to a park, lake or beach by yourself and just let everything go for a bit. Even if its only for 20-30 minutes, its better than nothing. I know how panic attacks go, im still on meds for them although they have gotten HEAPS better than they were a year ago. They are NOT fun. I was in the same position, being over worked & super stressed. I ended up having to take a medical leave from work because it effected me so badly. You dont want to get to that point.
Maybe go out with some friends for the evening, just hanging out. Get your mind off of things.
Good luck & I hope you feel better soon. Dont worry, when things are feeling there worst they always get better. Just try to stay positive, even though I know that is hard in itself. *hugs*
