Yes, definitely try Tite Grip for the sweating. I heard of that trick before, Tite Grip 30-60 minutes prior and then Dry Hands on top. That mostly worked for the old Tite Grip but with the new Tite Grip II Lavender, you don't have to combine at all. It lasts much longer, dries more, and no residue.
If you order from http://www.titegrip.com , you'll get your order within a couple days!! (if within the US. haha) Fast shipping. 😉
With gloves, it's great to have them for training purposes but def not at the actual competition. Good luck!!!

^ Thanks! I may try it when this runs out. Skimmed reviews and it's looking good!!

^ "No legs" climb or "Arms only" climb. I just tried it too and actually kept a steady even V, but bobbing up and down too much. LOL!!! Now my biceps are throbbinggg. Tried 4 times… instead of getting smoother, just struggled worse. Hahahaha

Correction, only my right hand. I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to my makeup remover (Clinique Take the Day Off cleansing balm) but it's the only one that works well for me. Haha!

I also have eczema/dermatitis on my hands. I've tried Tite Grip, Dry Hands, iTac, Mighty Grip, and Grrrip. None really irritated my eczema as long as I kept it on my palms only and didn't apply directly on my eczema if I had any on my body. But I also make sure I wash my hands vigorously after poling and take a shower within hours after.
The one thing that DID irritate my eczema was alcohol. When I switched to cleaning with white distilled vinegar, I noticed my eczema wasn't as bad. Acetone and alcohol can be very drying to the skin.

And thigh placement! I find it easier to extend when the pole is in the middle of my thigh and closer to the groin than the knee.
And easier to grab when my back wraps the pole behind it and outer hip drops lower.

A Marc Jacobs free gift with purchase tote from Fashion’s Night Out. It’s sturdy and fits everything I need. Not too big or small.
Not me but this just to show sizing.

Haha nice!!! Congrats!!! You look so overly happy, love it!
poledanceromance – I’m the same. I can most likely do it bc of incredible back strength but was also afraid to try bc of the adjustor on my x-pole. Then Derick proved me wrong and that its possible to do a death lay on my pole, adjustor cover and all. Lol!!!

As a poler, I’d tell you to keep trying for the moves you want. You’ll attain it at your own pace, don’t worry what anyone else says.
As a nurse, I’d say be kind to your body and try a different exercise that is less aggressive to your joints. Lupus is difficult to deal with especially with flare ups. My mom and a friend have both lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, both on long term disability, so I could imagine what you’re going through. Maybe try a more gentle exercise like yoga to increase your strength and flexibility. Then revisit pole again when your body is up for it.
There’s no harm in taking pole hiatuses to give your body a break. I do that all the time. In fact I haven’t poled in almost a month, aside from a recent photoshoot! Focusing more on flexibility at this time and my body was getting too tight and achy when I stopped. Just do what’s best for your body.
Wishing you the best!

Joyful – I sent you a PM regarding severe hyperhydrosis. Tite Grip may have an answer for you as we are working on new formulas and products that help uncontrollable sweaty hands/feet. Xo

That's my problem too. My 5 year old pole has a different bottom base and different x-joints than the current ones, even different from yours at 3 years. It doesn't even have the middle piece inside the pole itself. Can't purchase extensions unless X-Pole has old stock somewhere from the same old manufacturer. And I was also told the 3 year old ones are different from the current ones.

I just got so excited for a hot minute. LOL! And would have watched the super bowl just to see Brynn. Haha! I love her. Cannot wait to see her Pole Art performance.
