Hey there!
Have you tried looking for a pole on Craigslist, or Kijiji, in your area? Are there perhaps some studios you could look into, to try their poles and see what kind of finish, size, and type you prefer?
Also, a note of caution: The three big pole companies we stand by here are Lil Mynx, Platinum Stages, and X pole. Anything else would have to be thoroughly tested- there are also a couple of pole companies that are specific to their area. I heard of one in Australia (I can’t remember the name at the moment).
Anything else, especially ones that are from Peek-a-boo, or Carmen Electra, are not considered safe for pole dancing. Please be wary!
