LIL’MYNX STAINLESS STEEL, BRASS AND POWDER COATED (black, pink, red or white):
The Lil’ Minx Dancer Pole is one of the best professional removable dancer poles on the market. Its priced right, installs easily and has has lots of positive feedback.
Pros:
easy to install, variety of surfaces, fast delivery, lightening quick to put up and take down, non-interfering base, can use in multiple locations with extra ceiling mounts, great customer service, ceiling mount is small and discreet
Cons:
weight limit of 180lb (Lil Mynx more generous with their weight limit), cannot use the top portion of the pole if your ceiling is over 8 feet, rubber feet may cause some wear in carpet (use a second carpet scrap or IKEA mini circle rug to protect), rubber feet occasionally need to be re-screwed in if you take it in and out on a carpet a lot
Lil Mynx has a rotator pole that can also be stationary. I demo’d this model just briefly and not long enough to have a real impression.
They also have a completely removable ‘Pro Pole’ (no ceiling hardware) which comes apart in 2 pieces and has a case for easier transportation. As with any ‘no-ceiling hardware’ pole, it has more limits and safety issues.
Dancer Pole Surfaces to consider before buying
Different types of stripper pole surfaces will perform and feel different against your skin. Stainless Stell is the best. Brass Dancer poles will get dents and they are a pain to clean. You need to use toxic cleaners which are then transferred to your skin…..not the best idea in my opinion.
Never use lotions or oils on your skin as this will make the dancer pole slippery and very dangerous for those upside down spin till your dizzy moves.
Stainless stell is the easiest to clen. Use Windex/Water solution to celan. It feels great on your skin too. It makes spins easier.
Powdered Coated Dancer Poles like Lil’ Minx (make sure to buy the pink or black) provide a tacky surface and is great for beginners, but not so nice for slides as it will rub your thighs. These stripper poles tend to scrath more easily but can be easilty fixed with nail polish or a paint pen. Also easy to clean with a windex/water solution.
Get a pole with a ceiling mount! It is safer. (unless you need to travel a lot with it)
Lil Mynx Powder coated are the most affordable ($229.00 plus tax and shipping)
