Its so funny to hear us talk about our boobs, partly because we've only ever experienced our own boobs, but also because there's so many things people tell us about our boobs. I was watching "Diary of a Nymphomaniac" and the main character has small boobs, and I thought, "well, in Europe they're ok with the lead being sexy with small boobs", but then I thought, but she looks normal, she's pretty, but not like a drop-dead hottie, because the sexy leads in many American sexy movies are racked! ….Then I read this:
http://www.thefword.org.uk/features/2008/12/i_was_saddened/
Which is an article a woman wrote about the difficulties she experienced when others felt the need to react to her large boobs.
Long story short, it makes me happy to know that we have a place where women stick together and are supportive (mostly, right?) of one another, and it makes us free to share and talk. Whether we have big, small, expensive, only one, or no breasts at all. Thanks ladies! You're the best!

Aside from cleaning the pole, try washing your hands before using it. It gets off whatever residual sweat or dust there could be and makes your hands grippier. Be sure to dry them off well though. Good luck!

Matte pleather or matte pvc clothes should be good. Latex is the same stuff used to make balloons, just thicker. It'll catch, stretch and then rip and likely fling off your body. (I'm not sharing that story on the internet, just trust me.) Or leather, but leather is expensive. http://www.demask.com is a site for serious s&m clothes, I don't know how into it you want to get, but also fetish factory.

I’ve tried imitrex. And acupuncture, scalp massage, imitrex and naproxen together, Cataflan, maxalt, fiorinol, fiuricet, excedrine migraine for headaches. (not at the same time though) I’ve had bad migraines for a long long time. Everything I’ve taken has worn off in effectiveness Ina few months, so I have to keep several mess on hand and not mix them, but take different ones periodically. If you don’t have insurance, imitrex is (was 10 yrs ago) $17 a pill. My neurologist had the best advice, she said to prevent them. I get them from stress and overstimulation. Yoga 4+days a week has helped me in the last 6 months too. Know your triggers, I bring earplugs to the movies and the club. Food triggers, alcohol triggers, strong smells, prolonged loud sounds, high stress and a bunch of other crap can just bring on the hell. Avoid the habit-forming drugs despite the pain, dependency is a huge risk for folks like us on meds.

I've had the strangest hand pain, it's at the first knuckle close to my fingertips. For days after pole work, I usually have hurt knuckles on the outside (not palm side) of my hand. The palm side of my hand hurts too, but not as bad as the outside. I stretch my fingers and hands/wrists before and after pole work, sometimes I wake up in the am and my hands are achy, stiff and cramped, especially at the first knuckle. Anyone know about this? Any ideas how to not hurt?

Elementary school science teacher! I have a master's, i'm so glad it's over, but I'm toying with the idea of going back for a 2nd. Isn't it incredible what we'd all rather be doing if we followed our hearts, rather than taking the "Safe road"? I like my job, but it pays terribly. And I wish I was a pole instructor…

Awesome! You give me hope! I'm still working on a chopper invert!

The whole thing is metal and it doesn't bend or anything. If there were plastic pieces, I surely would be off it in a second. I think I'm just going to be taking it apart every so often to check wear and tear. It's durable, no chipping paint, no bendy pieces. I was sure that those carmen electra or the playboy woman ones were crap, so I tried to be discerning. Go figure. I'll keep folks posted on progress/ wear and tear. I just don't have the money to go get another pole and toss this one when it's been great so far. Thanks for the heads up, everyone, I'll definitely be watchful for developments.

CRAP! It's totally metal, it's welded at the joints… It's stood up so far on inverts and spins. What the hell am I gonna do now? My husband got it for me for my birthday!
