1983 as well! Since Misskitty83 took Billy Jean, I'm going to take Sweet Dreams (are made of these),

I'm sold! Thanks girls for your reviews. I'll add mine when it arrives.
-
How moisterizing is it? Is it enough to use just that, or do I need to use a moisturizer after I pole to suppliment?
Also, what does it smell like?

My SO bought me 10 classes of hot yoga. I've been to one and honestly I haven;t been back. I thought my asthma was long gone and conquered, until I stepped foot into that room. Not sure what to do with the rest of the classes since it's non transferable.

Fireside, do you by any chance use a brass pole? I find the itac2 to be amazing on the xpole but horrible on brass poles.

Polekitten, I can't seem it "get" the marley as well. I've done it by accident before but when I try to do it it's a mess.

Glitter, I'm sure you didn;t sound like a jerk. And even if she takes it that way, it's better to be a safe jerk than not. Please update us when she replies.

I usually have to use a grip aid on non brass poles in the winter. I have come to terms with that. Sometimes, the temperature and humidity is just right so I dont; need to, but thats a rarity these days.
My phsysiotherapist reccommends I use one when I have try skin to avoid strainign my wrists further in an attempt to hold on as I tend to rely more on my hands when my legs are not sticky. Better "cheat" a bit and get some practice in sideways instead of hurting myself or not poling at all.

This makes me wanna increase my shoe budget!

As I see, it’s not a grip aid, but a lotion you can dance with. That makes it even better. My skin is very dry in teh winter. I"ll order it when I have some spare $$$ and I’ll post my review here.
-
Thanks!
-
Has anyone here used that lotion and what’s your thoughts on it? I love my ITAC but I find it hard ot apply thinly and evenly onto the legs, a lotion might spread better.

Another shorty here, 4’10". Yogini is painful and I have to rely on mostly my arm pressing the pole against my ribs. I also have a alot of trouble getting ym torso to wrap aroudn the pole for the ballerina and the allegra. I can do it, and it look decent, but it’s difficult. I have to mentally lengthen the torso and wrap it aroudn carefully or else it just don’t reach. I don’t think it’s a case of lack of flexibilty, I see a lot of people with less flexibilty than I do these moves. I’m pretty sure it’s the short torso.

SUCCESS!!! I electric blanket did wonders! I listened to the advice here adn avoided clamps, instead I used 1/2" elastic (left over form a sewing project) to secure it around the pole. I left it on for 30 mins and warmed up whiel I waited. The pole was just about my body temperature after a warm up.
I still needed to use some itac, but I was able to pole without wanting to cry frustration.
This was a triumph! (yes, it’s a portal reference)

I do some cardio before going on the pole and it does help, but not too much. I have a TG pole and I find that when my body is warm and the pole is cold, tiny invisible droplets of condensation tends to form making it very slippery. I think Veena mentioned it happening with her TG as well. I haven’t had it happen all summer, and forget about it til now. This mean it must me dry heat…but not too dry because I have dry skin. I hate winter poling.
Currently I have my electric blanket wrapped around the pole and tied with elastic, goign to give it an hr to warm up and I’ll report back on how it works.
