Do these run true to size?

Yes, these run true to size. Lunalae pole wear is designed with a compressive fit that supports movement and holds its shape through repeated use. If you prefer a less compressive fit, size up one.

How does this perform during pole training?

The nylon lycra fabric has a smooth surface that glides against the pole cleanly during spins and transitions. The scrunch bum construction stays in place through inverts and dynamic movement. The high waist design provides core coverage and stays put during pole climbs and overhead work.

What should I know before wearing the HW Basic for the first time?

Wash before first wear to activate the fabric's softness and remove any production residue. The recycled fabric is designed to hold its shape and compression from the first wear. Rinse after each training session in cold water and air dry flat to preserve the fabric's elasticity and colour.

What is this made from and how do I care for it?

Made from recycled polyester and spandex. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash in cold water. Do not tumble dry. Air dry flat. Avoid fabric softeners, which break down the compression fibres in recycled fabric blends. Cold-wash after every training session to remove sweat and pole grip product residue. With consistent cold-wash care the fabric retains its compression, shape and colour through regular training use.

What do customers say about this style?

Customers consistently highlight the flattering fit and the secure stay-put construction as the main positives. The fabric quality and comfort during training are frequently praised. Most find the sizing true to size and recommend the style for both studio training and performance.

What should I pair the HW Basic with?

The HW Basic Shorts are designed to pair with any Lunalae top in the range. The Follow Me Bra, the Alexi Top and the Serena Top are all strong pairings for training. Add a Lunalae knee pad and Pole Freaks Clear Liquid Chalk (available in the Pole Accessories collection at Shoefreaks) for a complete training kit.
