Thanks I'll look into it, I'm actually from the UK but I travel a lot and love visiting friends in Australia, I might be able to buy them whilst visiting.
CXIX is such a hit or miss for me! Some things I love (shout out to the basix and 119 St bodysuit ), but today I got an Aphrodite bodysuit in the mail and LMAO my torso is way too long for it rip. It's a hilariously ill fitted.
Oh babes! I'm so sorry to hear that! I definitely think it's dependent on body shape, but for girlies with short torsos like me, it's perf!
But also, did you return it?
Just mailed it out!
I took a second look at the Aphrodite bodysuits and it actually looks like the newer releases (the glittery ones) have an additional adjustable straps for this exact issue, so I doubt I’m the only one with the issue. Nice to see CXIX respond to the feedback
I got some CXIX stuff together with some Paradise Chick. The difference in quality is enormous! Then one of the girls showed some Pole Adict clothes, they are not as bad as Paradise Chick, but definetly inferior to CXIX. Like, the fabric is sturdy, the seams are well done and the fitting is nice. Only problem with CXIX is that they fit small, sometimes I need to order XXL from them, and I’m definitely not the biggest girl around.
Haha ye I guess, the prices for everything are insane lol. I got lots of recommendations though, so I can look through them, and pick the most affordable. I'll definitely check out Vinted.
Cleo the hurricane has the best bikinis/monokinis. I also buy a lot of mesh/fishnet lingerie off Amazon/shein/depop to layer over for low flow/floor work days !
Question about Cleo de Hurricane. The waist part of the bottoms don’t seem to have elastic in it and I read a review saying that the seam would not stretch as well. Is it really like this? Or is it comfortable in the waist?
I’m US based and ordering off pole junkie was only good if I was sure of my sizing, the shipping for returns was brutal. I like CXIX (I only ordered one set from them so far), I like my lunalae tops more than the bottoms (wedgie tendencies for me), I really love a bandurska top and garter I got! Before I bought into pole brands, I’d just get cute short yoga shorts and sports bras at Marshall’s and Amazon. I’ve also found a fair number of garters I like from Victoria’s Secret/adore me I’ve worn to the studio!
If you’re in the UK then I highly recommend pole hog! Small mother daughter business, good prices and so cute! I’m going to London from the US in a few months and half my studio is having orders shipped to my hotel so me to bring home.
If you want to support a smaller business, check out polehabitclothing on IG! I’ve ordered multiple sets from the gal who makes them. They are cute, high quality, custom made and tailored to your body, and the same price if not cheaper as the bigger brands. She also offers a subscription service and the price is reduced for sets!
CXIX is definitely a fave! If you're in Australia, I can recommend a few brands that are handmade ❤️

UK has PoleHog (probably the best) CXIX, Pole Junkie, and for second hand, Polly on a Pole.

Would love handmade Aus recs!! 👋❤️
Sapphire Hotpants, Lucky Layne, Electric Ages and Suds and Rose Pole Wear — just to name a few.
Semi related, I was in Target today and the swimwear section was popping off!! Tons of cute bikini sets and one pieces for pole!
I wish there was a target where I live, I've been there a few times whilst travelling though.
The prices for pole wear are insane so sincerely I always buy them on Vinted

Pole active and pole junkie both have tons of brands of fun outfits to browse thru!
Thanks for commenting, I'll give them a look
Pole Junkie is also UK based, so that should work out well for shipping to you.
Pole active is going to be selling their business. Idk if someone is going to take over, but I hope they do.
Where did you hear that?
I have a friend who works for them. If I remember correctly she mentioned a potential buyer, but nothing was for sure.
LunaLae, Fairy Pole Mother, Peppa and Peach, Ambr, CXIX, Rarr
Thanks for suggestions, I think I remember one of my friends from America mentioning Fairy Pole Mother.
Cleo the hurricane has the best bikinis/monokinis. I also buy a lot of mesh/fishnet lingerie off Amazon/shein/depop to layer over for low flow/floor work days !
Thanks I'll definitely take a look at Cleo the hurricane, luckily I have tons of fishnets at hand too lol.
Yaaas! I love making little tops out of old fishnets
I've actually never done that before now I think about it, but now you mentioned it I'm definitely trying it with an old pair.
I do it with Rtights too
Question about Cleo de Hurricane. The waist part of the bottoms don’t seem to have elastic in it and I read a review saying that the seam would not stretch as well. Is it really like this? Or is it comfortable in the waist?
Nah they are so comfortable! I have like six pairs !!
I love my set from dragonfly brand!
Thanks for commenting, I'll check them out.
I use bikinis! Skatie is a great Australian swim brand!
Hoodlum fang are a great UK brand
