Stretch Pole EX - Authentic, Excellent Condition The EX model is thinner than the standard one, making it easier to use for women, children, and those with a slender build. I purchased it but rarely use it, so I'd like to pass it on to someone who will. It has only been used indoors, so there are no scratches or stains. Instruction manual and DVD are not included. It will be carefully packaged with bubble wrap and a plastic bag for delivery.
