    Does the pole PULL on your skin?!

    I have a pole in my apartment right now (and sadly enough I don't use it as much as I should!!) But anyways, I have a question- does anyone else's skin absolutely get "stuck" and pull on the pole when you're trying to do spins or anything involving skin in contact with the pole while you're moving??! AYAYAYA, my skin KILLS to the point I have to jump off mid-spin or trick. I get so mad, because I'm strong enough, but it's just my skin holding me back from doing the stuff..
    Know what I mean?!? For instance, when you try to do the side spin on the pole, like this http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=dOndn5...eature=related at 0:20, 0:39.
    Also, when I try to sit on the pole with the pole in between my thighs. it hurts my inner thighs so bad! And my skin looks disgusting and all bunched up at those parts.. not attractive at all!

    I'm just wondering- is it because these parts of my body are not the 'firmest' parts I have, the skin is looser and pulls? Would I still have this problem if I had like no fat and a lot of muscle? Or is it just your skin has to "toughen up" with time?! Help!

    p.s. I did a search on this, but the threads were all about bruising, no mention of this that I could find!

    I don't have any advice, but this happens to me also. I hate it! I feel like my skin is being ripped off, and it looks gross. Ugh. Maybe we're just not tough enough?

    The pole pulls and tugs at my skin too. It sucks when I'm trying to learn a new pole trick because I hate the feeling of getting pinched but all you have to do is just get used to it and your skin will toughen up. Just keep at it.

    Sometimes my skin pulling on the pole is the only thing holding me up when my hands sweat!! Advice for sweaty hands,anybody? I always have skin pull on my waist and upper arm... but ive seen real super toned girls with no fat and they have no pull.

    hairspray on your hands before pole work. no lie! just let it dry first.

    I hate how it pinches...it's way worse on brass poles. All the stuff I can do on steel becomes impossible on brass, because my body STICKS to the pole. Maybe try some lotion or something, to loosen the grip? I mean, not at a club, but your apartment, shouldnt matter. I wish I knew. The thighs thing especially- I have that issue.

    Also, did you bring a pole to Asia? And if you did, AWSOME. lol

    Powder all contact areas. Rub off excess with a towel. See if this helps. Make sure to remove most from your hands though, or you will totally bust your ass.

    ok, thanks for the tips.. maybe lotion or powder on my body is the trick. There's a fine line between sticking and slipping on the pole though!!
    And yes, Molly....... I kinda sorta ordered a pole to Asia! hahah. It maybe wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done (now I have to ship it back home) but it's been a lot of fun! I was going through stripping withdrawals when I first came here..
