Oh the bruises!

Hee hee.
Girls I know who’ve gone to A&E / the ER, even their Doctor have had the nurses sit down and seriously ask if they were ok, were they really ok, are you being abused etc, did they need some help for the bruising: you know, the concerned medical professional and the badly bruised patient routine…Then when they find out it’s pole related, the staff can’t help but laugh. We’ve got a few nurses that way.

You never stop getting them but it does get a lot better. When you’re much stronger, you won’t be using your skin so much to hold on, but your muscles instead – so your skin won’t be under the same pressure any more. Also, certain areas become desensitized or tough eventually, but when you get more advanced and learn a different move, you may use a NEW area which is fresh and ready for bruising hehe! Take me for example, my biceps got bruised when I was learning the flag and the caterpillar climb a few weeks ago, but the backs of my knees never bruise any more. -
Wish I’d seen that one post on this thread recommending Dermablend much MUCH earlier. Just discovered it and it’s a LIFE SAVER. I’m a stripper (new to that, not to pole) and bruise very easily from pole… Bruises lose me money.

Haven’t seen it mentioned, but you should try using icepacks for 15 to 20 non after you pole.
You could monitor your diet to ensure you have enough iron in your system. You can also get your dr to test your blood levels.
Do some very light self massage 48 hours after any major bruising making sure to use gentle slow strokes moving up the legs starting at the toes.
I also highly recommend airbrush tanning for events where you want to wear a dress or shorts but have coverage, plus you look tan and great!
