Nona Perkasa doesn't try to do everything. The brand does three things and does each one exceptionally.
At The Pole Edit, Nona Perkasa shows up in three distinct pieces: the Devour Bodysuit, the Cherry on Top Bottoms, and the Solace Bottom. Each one serves a different role in the training wardrobe. Each one reflects the brand's performance-first philosophy in a different way.
This guide breaks down what each piece actually is, who it's for, and how to decide which one to start with.
Piece 1: The Devour Bodysuit Black
The Devour is the piece that made Nona Perkasa recognisable in the pole community. A full-length performance bodysuit made from regenerated nylon - a recycled material that matches the performance characteristics of virgin synthetic fibre while reducing environmental impact.
What makes it distinctive:
Regenerated nylon construction. The Devour uses an ethical production approach that the community increasingly values materials that perform to the standard of conventional synthetics without the environmental cost of virgin production.
Open back, high leg cut. The construction decisions are pole-specific. The open back enables upper back contact for advanced moves. The high leg cut maximises inner thigh grip exposure. These aren't styling choices - they're functional requirements met through considered design.
Performance-training crossover. The Devour's clean matte black sits at the intersection of training functionality and showcase readiness. It doesn't need a performance occasion to justify wearing - it works equally well for a demanding Wednesday training session.
Who the Devour is for: Intermediate and advanced dancers looking for a bodysuit that performs as hard as they do, with an aesthetic that communicates serious intent. Dancers who want their performance piece to also be a training piece.
Piece 2: The Cherry on Top Bottoms Burgundy
Cherry on Top Bottoms Burgundy
The Cherry on Top is Nona Perkasa's training-focused bottom available in Burgundy at The Pole Edit in the brand's most inclusive size range (XS through XL).
What makes it distinctive:
The Burgundy colourway. Nona Perkasa could have made this in black. They chose Burgundy a deep, warm wine tone that reads as considered and distinctive without crossing into statement-piece territory. It's the colour that looks intentional alongside any training top.
Extended sizing. Available from XS to XL, the Cherry on Top represents Nona Perkasa's commitment to serving the full pole community. The size range is broader than many polewear pieces, and the construction quality is maintained consistently across the range.
Performance construction. The same Nona Perkasa quality standards that make the Devour exceptional apply here: precise construction, quality fabric with appropriate stretch and recovery, and a cut calibrated for pole training's specific movement demands.
Who the Cherry on Top is for: Dancers building a training wardrobe around quality basics who want something with more visual interest than plain black, but more versatile than a bold print. The piece that pairs with anything and still looks like a considered choice.
Piece 3: The Solace Bottom Black
The Solace is Nona Perkasa's premium training bottom - the piece in the brand's lineup that most clearly expresses the brand's "performance first, aesthetics second" philosophy.
What makes it distinctive:
The most reliable piece in the brand's range. The Solace is what experienced Nona Perkasa customers come back for after their first purchase proves the quality. It's not the most dramatic piece in the store. It's the piece you reach for without thinking on your hardest training days when you need the fit to just work without any mental overhead.
Black as a design decision. The Solace in black is a deliberate design philosophy: some pieces earn their value not through visual interest but through flawless function. Every time you put on the Solace, the answer to "does this work for training?" is immediately yes.
Premium tier construction. The Solace sits at the higher end of Nona Perkasa's range, and the construction reflects this investment. The fabric weight, seam quality, and waistband construction are built for training intensity and training frequency.
Who the Solace is for: Serious, frequently-training pole dancers who want a foundational black training bottom they never have to think about - the piece that always works, always fits correctly, and always holds up.

Buy the Cherry on Top first if:
You're building your training wardrobe and want a quality bottom with visual warmth and a wider size range. The Burgundy colourway is distinctive enough to feel chosen, versatile enough to work in any training context.
Buy the Solace first if:
You already have other training shorts and want to add a premium foundational piece that you'll reach for constantly. The Solace is the "forever bottom" the piece that anchors everything else.
Nona Perkasa's Approach to Sizing
All three pieces follow Nona Perkasa's measurement-based sizing:
For the Devour Bodysuit: Size to the larger of your bust and hip measurements. Bodysuits need to work across both dimensions.
For the Cherry on Top Bottoms: Size to your hip measurement. Extended size range means the chart covers a wide range of bodies and uses your centimetre measurement directly against the chart.
For the Solace Bottom: Size to your hip measurement. The Solace's performance construction means sizing accuracy matters more than in a more forgiving fabric if between sizes, go up.
When between sizes in any Nona Perkasa piece: go up. Pole training demands movement freedom, and the brand's performance-first construction is designed to fit snugly rather than loosely.
