Do these run true to size?

Yes, these run true to size. CXIX pole wear is designed with a compressive, close-to-skin fit that activates the Gecko Grip™ fabric. If you prefer a more relaxed fit or are between sizes, size up.

How does this perform during pole training?

The soft, stretchy construction moves with the body through spins, floor sequences and inverted work. The high-waist or high-leg cut stays in place during dynamic pole training without riding up or shifting.

What should I know before wearing the Safari Cheeky Bottoms for the first time?

Wash before the first wear to remove any production residue and soften the fabric. The compressive fit will loosen slightly with the first few wears and settle into a secure training fit. Rinse in cold water after each session and air dry flat to preserve the fabric and shape.

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

Made from four-way stretch fabric with mesh panelling. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash in cold water. Do not tumble dry. Air dry flat. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat, which break down the elasticity of the fabric over time. With cold-wash care the construction holds its shape and compression through regular training and performance use.

What do customers say about this style?

Customers highlight the secure fit and the construction quality as the main positives. The style is noted as staying in place through dynamic pole training and performance. Most find the sizing true to size and the fabric comfortable for extended studio sessions.

What should I pair the Safari Cheeky Bottoms with?

The Safari Cheeky Bottoms pair with the CXIX InstaBaddie Top, the CXIX Boa Triangle Top or the CXIX Buckle Up Garter Top for a strong training set. Add the CXIX Velcro Knee Pads and Pole Freaks Clear Liquid Chalk (available in the Pole Accessories collection at Shoefreaks) to complete the kit.
