What the Body Aphrodite Offers for Pole Dance
The Monsieur Blonde Body Aphrodite is a bodysuit designed to evoke power and grace, with a clean silhouette and a subtle transparent panel. Its blend of 80% nylon and 20% elastane gives it stretch and recovery, which matters for pole movements that demand both freedom and a secure fit. The piece comes with one black fabric cord (tie) that can adjust the fit or add a styling detail.
This guide walks you through sizing, fabric behavior, care steps, and how to wear the Body Aphrodite for pole training or performance.
Key Facts from the Catalog
- MONSIEUR BLONDE - Body Aphrodite: 80% nylon, 20% elastane composition Nylon provides a smooth, durable surface that slides against the pole less than cotton, while elastane gives the stretch needed for deep positions.
MONSIEUR BLONDE - Body Aphrodite - MONSIEUR BLONDE - Body Aphrodite: Fully lined and can also be worn as a swimsuit Full lining means no transparency worries during inversions or splits. The swimsuit option also indicates the fabric holds up to moisture and chlorine.
- MONSIEUR BLONDE - Body Aphrodite: Includes 1 black fabric cord; rhinestone cord not included The fabric cord can be used to adjust the fit or as a decorative accent. The rhinestone version is a separate accessory if you want extra sparkle.
Sizing and Fit for Pole Dance
The Body Aphrodite is available in sizes S and M in Noir (black). Based on the stretch fabric and full lining, the bodysuit is meant to fit snugly without digging in. For pole dance, a close fit helps prevent fabric from bunching or riding up during moves like climbs or shoulder mounts.
Because the catalog does not provide a size chart or model measurements, sizing decisions rely on your usual bodysuit size from stretch brands. If you are between sizes, the elastane content gives some leeway, but a too-large bodysuit may gap at the gusset or straps. A too-small one might compress uncomfortably. Consider your torso length: bodysuits with a shorter rise can pull at the shoulders for longer torsos.
How to Wear and Style the Body Aphrodite for Pole
- Check the cord placement before training: The black fabric cord can be tied at the front or back. For pole, a front tie may catch on the pole during spins; consider a back tie or tucking the ends inside the bodysuit.
- Layer for warmth or coverage: Over a pair of high-waisted pole shorts (like the MONSIEUR BLONDE Short Off The Floor), the Body Aphrodite works as a top. Under a crop top or mesh cover, it adds a sheer accent.
- Use the transparent panel as a design element: The sheer section sits at the front. For performances, a rhinestone cord or body jewelry can draw attention to the transparent area. For training, keep it simple to avoid snagging.
Care Instructions to Preserve Fit and Fabric
The catalog gives two clear care rules: remove the cord before washing, and do not wash the garment with the cord attached. This prevents the cord from twisting or the fabric from catching. The nylon-elastane blend should be washed in cold water with a gentle detergent and laid flat to dry. Avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the elastane and reduce stretch recovery.
Because the bodysuit can also serve as a swimsuit, rinse it in fresh water after pool or saltwater use to prevent chlorine or salt from degrading the elastane over time.
What the Catalog Does Not Tell You
The catalog does not specify the gusset width, strap adjustability, or whether the transparent panel is at the chest or waist. It also does not confirm the length of the torso coverage. For a precise fit, you may need to try the bodysuit or compare it with another Monsieur Blonde piece you already own. The cord is black fabric only; if you want a sparkly accent, you will need to buy the rhinestone cord separately.
No washing instructions beyond cord removal are given, so treat the fabric as you would any fine stretch garment.
