@Ophidia, it does make sense! Thanks for sharing. SimpllySweet had posted how she pout a wood disk under the dome. I like to hear all the ideas people are using to keep the poles how they belong… upright!

Thank you Ophidia for the info regarding boxing the dome in.

@ Ophidia… what is the dimensions of the wood triangle you put under the domes?

: ) You will love your pole!

That's what is so hard about it…. "tight enough" is subjective. I called Xpole and they were helpful. I ended up tightening it as hard as I could. I figured either the hex key would break or something else would break but I did not want to have to order more and deal with the silliness of banging my pole on a broom handle outside for 7 minutes while the neighbors wonder if they need to call the cops.
I hope it is okay to post this video. This video was made and posted by PennyGirl I found her video after I stripped my top x joint and it helped me when I got my new one in the mail. Her video was extremely helpful and I saved it to my favorites. Thanks PennyGirl!

Love Love LOVE my Xpert!!! Be super cautious about tightening the X joints enough though. The first time I used mine I did not tighten the top joint enough… even though I read the instructions 7 times and thought I did. It spun around in the pole and stripped out. Had to buy a new xjoint and dislodge the stuck one.
Love my pole! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Hi MoonFlower,
First things First… OUCHIE!!!
I'm not any type of a physician but I can share an experience of something that helped me when my skin there got upset.
I did not have tearing but I did have extreme irritation in the area where my inner thigh meets the groin. When I first started pole sits the skin peeled off and was this bright painful reddish pink. It looked like sunburn and was about two and a half inches long (right in that crease) and half inch wide. It hurt like the dickens.
I tried all kinds of stuff to soothe it (lotions, hydrocortisone creams, oils) and nothing worked until I put Vaseline Cocoa Butter Petroleum Jelly on it. I massaged it into the skin twice a day and the area was improved after a day.
The area finally healed. I could not pole sit for a week and a half while it healed. I found that if I pole sit without contacting close to the groin the skin is fine. Maybe I pushed up too close and was pulling the skin too much? I have no idea…
I am not sure if this will offer you any relief since it is a little different than a tear… but if it does, its worth posting.
I hope it feels better soon!

Business classifications rest within the level of risk a business owner is willing to accept. LLC is a limited Liability Corporation. LLCs have the advantage of protecting your personal assets in the event of damages filed. So the business and you are two separate legal entities. Lower risk of losing personal assets. There is a cost associated to that but when you factor the risk of losing all of your personal assets… well worth it for peace of mind.
There are individual business owners that can go a lifetime and not have any damages that affect their personal assets. Entirely up to you which option you choose, its what you are comfortable with.

Maybe some Veneers have some 'tried and true' paints. Bad Kitty has some really cool body art decals… it looks like Karol Helm was wearing them during her Pole Con performance. I would go this route…

Would delete that message from the foot enthusiast… sounds like a weirdo. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

Hi Jenn PoleLush,
I am very sorry to hear you had such an extreme flare. Always feels like a set back but try not to lose sight of how much you have accomplished and how hard your body is fighting. It is very important for you to listen to your body as you recover.
For short term use, prednisone side effects do go away when you get off of it. I know how hard that drug is to tolerate… unfortunately I am very very familiar with it. You can talk to your doctors or pharmacists about the drug side effects and if there are ways you can minimize them. Sometimes it is just a trade off for the benefit of the drug. Boo!
With exercise do what you like to do and maybe do a bit less and rest a bit more right now. With time you will build back up to where you were. I hope you are feeling much better.
Let us know how things go!
Sending hugs your way.

TSassy,
Great point about not being defensive. I have also had people completely supportive and tell their friends about it. They are proud of me for doing it! A few close friends have come over to try on my shoes or marvel the pole. Even though they are not ready to touch it just yet… I'm working on them. I love the sensual side too… "strength, endurance and flexibility" You are so right!!!
Runemist34,
You are absolutely correct… it is important that we surround ourselves with support people that are healthy for us. The comment really took me by surprise… it was offensive. It showed me insight on how that person perceives things and that they have a real block around sensual expression. That is their 'thing' and I won't own it. Maybe next time I leisurely read something 'intelligent'… I'll do it in a pole sit.
I try to come from a place of compassion and understanding of another person's position when they are that blocked against sensuality and expression… but can be extremely difficult.
