I got these which are super stretchy and nice and short for poling.
I also got these which are slightly longer and are more high rise on the hips. http://www.dancedirect.com/uk/Products/Urban-Dancewear/P969/plume-hotpants-microfibre-jazz-urban_p969/ -
Hey Audball,
I get my little dance shorts from dancedirect.com. They are based in the UK and have VERY fast delivery. I’ve bought three pairs of booty shorts and some stirruped leg warmers from them and find them great.
If you’re looking for good pole shoes in Ireland, Trena recommended trudyaffair.com to me and I bought my pleasers from them. The woman who takes the orders in based in Dublin so again, very fast delivery.

Hey Lauren. Welcome to SV! Yes indeedy, poling is amazing. I cannot wait to get back into it consistently! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif You’ll really enjoy posting on the forum here and also, if you do get the lessons you’ll LOVE them. I got them recently and they are excellent value and so helpful. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
Fingers crossed you get a pole soon https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Before I poled I did martial arts for a few years so I thought I was already pretty fit, toned etc. However I noticed an odd, deep soreness with my abs when I first started poling too. Probably similar to yours. It’s like all the prepping and training for pole moves crunches all your muscles. As long as it’s not very painful or causing a lot of discomfort I wouldn’t worry. I just tell myself it’s my abs getting nice and strong so I can do pretty moves! : https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

A guy I work with has been doing Bikram yoga for about a month now but already the results are incredible. He seems so trim already. I’m deffo interested in giving it a go, however, I only tried yoga for a couple of weeks a few years ago so basically have no experience even with non-heated yoga. Is bikram only for seasoned yoga go-ers?

You nair girls are very lucky, it doesn’t work on me at all. Even if I leave it on past the recommended time, it just doesn’t work. I think I must be too dark or something, I imagine it works great for women with light, fair hair. I have an epilator that I find great but am seriously curious to have a proper brazillian done. Not brave enough to go that far with Mr. Epil Silk! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Hey veena,
All the suggestions so far have been great, I agree on sudafed and a tiny drop of olive oil in the ear. Things to avoid are using cotton buds in the ear (you’ll only cause them to become blocked even more by pushing the wax further into your ear), using any kind of syringe in the ear (leave that to a doctor if needs be) etc. I’ve had problems with my ears since forever and I very regularly get blocked up so I really sympathise, it’s a horrible feeling. I’ve had 6 operations in my ears since I was a kid because they are unable to clear themselves of the fluid that builds up in there and even now I get lots of infections from the scarring inside. One thing that helps for me when I feel my ears blocking up is to use a few little drops of olive oil at night (to avoid messing up your pillow, make a plug out of cotton wool and seal it on the outer ear with a film of vaseline. Otherwise the oil will drip out and won’t stay in long enough to soften the wax.I often have to go to the hospital to have that suction thing done because syringing doesn’t always work so if the symptoms last much longer do consider having it checked out. The longer it stays blocked up the higher the chance of it becoming infected is. And nobody wants an ear infection!
I hope you feel better soon, start taking the sudafed and hopefully by tomorrow you’ll be feeling much better.

thanks for the correction Journey, I was looking on x-poles website and was trying to figure out what the old style pole was called and all I gathered from the site was that an x-pert is one which spins and stays static. So I wasn’t sure. I might call them for another threaded one because it was so quick and easy. Thank you! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

my pole is the 50mm chrome x-pole that can be used spinny or static. But there are none of these x-joints on it. I simply had to screw the pole together, tighten etc and I had a lovely, sturdy pole. I’ve been thinking of buying a new pole now for my new house rather than moving my previous pole up, BUT.. all this x-joint trouble has put me off buying another one. It sounds like a hell of a lot of hassle. Particularly since I’ll be putting the pole together by myself. Is there anyway to buy the old style x-pert? With none of this x-joint nonsense?!

I learned the plank first too. It seems more logical to learn it and feel safe with it before extending it into a CAR/CKR. For the record, I can do neither CAR/CKR 100% comfortably, I always feel that bit more scared with these moves. But for me, CAR is easier than CKR. I feel so insecure in a CKR. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
