Ankle pouch to hold tips?
Has anyone ever used an ankle pouch to hold tips? I think it would be extremely convenient, almost foolproof but it kind of reminds me of a house arrest bracelet ;D
I was thinking a multi colored one would make it look less "house arrest-e" but it's still kind of thick
Re: Ankle pouch to hold tips?
Omg no please no. That looks so tacky. Whatever happened to carrying a small purse?

A ton of the dancers at my club wear these. Theirs are small and made from leathery fabric, so they don't actually look tacky or bulky like the ones for runners. Most have a black one, but some have white or light pink, so they don't stand out a heck of a lot, especially when worn over stockings. Since they're worn by so many dancers at my club, they also don't look out of place in general though.
Re: Ankle pouch to hold tips?
A few clubs I work at make girls carry their money on their ankle. I think it looks tacky plus it can show guys how my much you have ect. I prefer carrying a purse. Just watch it like a hawk. Maybe one with a wrist strap so it's easier to hold on to?

It's annoying to carry a purse and while your giving a customer a dance you have to set it down. I agree it does look very tacky though lol, I might have to get a custom less bulky one made
Re: Ankle pouch to hold tips?
^The ones at my club soooort of look like this, but with less studs: http://www.leather-maniacs.de/user_h.../in0008/b0.jpg Not bulky at all like a pouch. If you're open to buying online, it might help to google wrist/ankle wallet rather than pouch.

I should buy a fanny pack! :D
Re: Ankle pouch to hold tips?
The pouches dont look big enough to hold all the money I make... do you have to do locker deposits? It def wouldn't hold my funny money.
Re: Ankle pouch to hold tips?
I bought a bunny purse at Wal Mart. It's really supposed to be a school supply bag but people like it.
Re: Ankle pouch to hold tips?
Back when I was working in shadier clubs, I would wrap a garter twice around the arch of my shoe, rubber band the money around one of the loops, and then pull the other loop around it so it laid flat between the platform and the heel. It's discrete, and I've never lost a bill that way. Now that I work in a nicer place, I carry a bag for my cell phone, smokes, lip gloss, whatever. When I travel, I'll be using the wrap around method becUse I won't know anyone and will be a little more nervous about girls taking things.
Re: Ankle pouch to hold tips?
^ I used a shoe method with rubberbands/hairties (smaller and more discreet) for multiple years. I will try and post a pic but look up high hell anatomy to understand following; wrap a hairtie around the shank. Fold money lengthways then hook over hairtie (under the shoe) pulling the ends money down. Use a rubber band to attach the ends to the heel breast.

Re: Ankle pouch to hold tips?
^i would be afraid of not securing the money well enough, and having it fall off the shoe!!!
Re: Ankle pouch to hold tips?
Everyone says that but seriously, I did this for years- drunk and very energetic dance moves. I swear no issues.

I've done this too and I still do. I would actually place a couple of $1 bills over, so those would be the most visible, and bigger bills would be hidden underneath so girls or customers can't see what money is hiding under.
Re: Ankle pouch to hold tips?
I strap mine to my thigh with a garter/rubber band. I'm always afraid of losing a purse and those ankle things make me nervous too, like they could slide off without you noticing.
Re: Ankle pouch to hold tips?
I always preferred a thigh garter, & when wearing tall boots I would often squirrel bills (esp larger bills, but mainly $1s when in a hurry) down between the layers of socks. Invisible to prying eyes & going nowhere. While I also carried a purse, the only thing of value was my phone, & unless I was on stage or doing dances it was always tucked under my leg so it couldn't be stolen or forgotten.
Apart from agreeing that sm of the ankle pouches I have seen look pretty tacky, my other concern w/ them would be that if you do a lot of pole tricks, it could get in the way. Firstly bc feet/ankles are integral to pole tricks so it could impede proper grip; but also bc the constant friction could dmg the fastenings & you wouldn't even notice. A thigh garter is very easy to discretely slide out of the way of gripping, & if the rubber bands round your $$$ break, it's a lot easier to see & adjust for.

you just possibly saved my life lol! I never thought of the ankle pouch flying off... which would most likely happen because like you said ankles+feet are key to pole tricks, especially climbing the pole.
Re: Ankle pouch to hold tips?
Instead of carrying a purse/pouch, have you thought about wearing boots or booties? I recently bought some open-toe Pleaser boots that have zippers on the side to hold my money. I just fold it in half twice, and when one "bootie pocket" gets full, then I just use the other. I put my lipstick in there, too.
Re: Ankle pouch to hold tips?
I take an extra large stretchy hair band and double loop it around my left ankle since I'm right handed. I find it easier to put money on it when it's on the opposite side of your dominant hand. I have a system where I'll take the money and fold it over one of the hair band loops and secure it with a couple rubber bands. Then I take the second unused loop to place over the wad of cash to hold it tightly against my ankle. I always keep my money sorted from biggest bills on the inside to smallest bills on the outside. This way if by chance a rubber band breaks you will be more likely to only loose a few $1s instead of your big bills. Also if all your money stays in order it makes it easier to make change, tip out, and count your money. I have danced using this method for 4 years and never lost money or had it stolen. I've seen so many girls who carry bags and get their money stolen by other girls and even customers. I have seen girls get their bag stolen off stage by customers. Also a girl told me she got her bag pick pocketed by a customer during a lapdance, he took all her money and then paid for the lapdance he recieved with her own money.
