As pole dancing become more and more popular sports in Singapore, we see more and more individual pole boutiques in Singapore whether online or on racks, sprouting out in Singapore.
Some of these shops are either distributing a certain brand of wear or they actually have their own designers and makers in house. Here are some of the shops which I find very interesting and really like their designs, and some are just practical and good to have.

The Facebook shop is local and run by ladies who are into pole sports. They have the few big names like Dragonfly, RAD. The more exotic brands are Bandurska, Mila Kursna ( East European brand). They also sell the dewpoint pole grip sprays. While Dragonfly and RAD are more of a sporty type of image, Bandurska and Mila Kursna are almost close to lingerie design with lace, velvet and more straps and buckles.
You an enquire through e mail: poleholicsg@gmail.com or just messenger them over Facebook. They are very responsive and replies in less than an hour.
Inez Active wear is a local designed brand. Having their own website to sell their items, they are slowly building up the collection. Their designs and colours are feminine with a lot of emphasis on the fabric they chose for the making of their clothing. They may resemble a lot of the more established brands, but they do have their own character and followers.
A local brand again with more sporty sassy design. The items are made overseas but quality is not that bad. I like their interesting design but unfortunately, their XS is still not able to fit me well especially for the square hipped people like me.
Although an online shop, Tough Cookie can be found
Another shop that distributes pole and sports wear brand like Bad Kitty, Pole Candy Wear, Rarr Designs , Shakti Wear and Vekker. They also carry the Pleaser Heels which is the main brand for heels in Pole dancing.
Local ballet dance wear Sonata dance wear’s sister brand. The pieces here are also good for yoga and pilates. One of their selling point is reversible and able to be converted to become another piece: jumpsuits can be pulled down to be a legging. Reversible tops. Veraversa is that versatile. Local shipping is free and only in small quantities.
Comfortable and secure for women to do a wide range of sports is the key to Naked Wear brand. They have tested their products under all sorts of conditions and exercise intensities to ensure the quality and capabilities of these pieces towards their motto. Some pieces are made by waterproof materials which means that you can bring them to the gym or the pool.
THE TRUTH IS….
Well to speak the truth all these fancy exercise wear are really exciting to own and some how wearing something nice a the studio makes you happy and want to perform better. But some of these items are really overpriced. You can also find similar items on Alibaba or Tao Bao. But the China mades quality might not be that good, depending on your luck.
Do not fret, once in a while these brands run some promotions and also have flea markets to sell away the old stocks. Usually smaller sizes get snapped up fast, so do look out for your studio’s next flea.
In Singapore, you can also get cheap and fancy underwear for pole dancing at Bugis, some of the local lingerie brands like Pierre Cardin or Young Hearts also carry new athlete wear which are also quite durable and more affordable.
But for the Pole shoes, guess there are no alternatives, but do buy a pair of trusted ones as you need a lot of safety assured while manoeuvring on those shoes.
