    My goodness, darling, you seem to be having a little bit of technical issues! Rarely do I see so many posts of the same thing so many times!

    To deal with your issue, perhaps a little clarification? Are you doing an inverted crucifix, or an upright one? Is your pole warm when you give it a try?

    This move can be difficult at first…I have a little bit of a sliding issue, as well. I find the best advice was this: Try to turn your knees in toward each other. So, push your legs together, yes, but also twist them inwards, into the pole! It should aid in your grip.

    I’m having the same problem. Pole is warm. I was capable of doing it but out of nowhere I keep sliding. I don’t know what gives.

    Well, this might seem like an odd suggestion but… did the weather change? Even that can effect the pole surface. I know that for me, when it's hot and humid out, I stick like crazy to my pole! But, when it's dry, it's slippery. Other people have had the opposite issue, too!

    Otherwise, give the knee-squeezing a try 🙂

    I will give it a try! The weather here is… Changing from cold as crap to a nice spring warmth.

    Caramel – Do you have dry skin? When my skin was super dry I couldn't grip my pole with my body at all! Grip aid is great for that. You get a stick, but you still need to squeeze your muscles to stay in the trick. If you sweat during exerces, being really warm will help you stick.

    I only have mighty grip. My skin is normally pretty dry. I haven’t been lotioning fearing it would make me slip. Like no lotion at all! All day lol.

    You should use lotion. Your skin needs to be hydrated in order to stick. Try vaseline total moisture conditioning. I've been using it and it is really nice. It rubs in quickly, doesn't make you feel sticky, but it works really well. I can pole right after puttin git on with no problem. If your legs stay too dry in a pole session, put some corn huskers lotion on them (slather it on.) You'll stick after that. 🙂

    Lotion makes the pole slippery when you sweat the oils out.  I recommend Pole instead.  ðŸ™‚

    I use both the vaseline and the corn huskers and have no slippage issues from them. In fact the huskers makes me stick!
