Latex Clothing has the most sensational feel when worn; it is one of the most erotic fabrics on the market and once worn you become addicted. Latex Clothing is biodegradable but can be kept in good condition for many years with proper care and handling. Though latex rubber is generally dull and lifeless when first manufactured, it is how you care for and look after it that makes it the sensationally erotic material we all love.

Our Latex Clothing Range
We have a wide selection of latex rubber garments ranging from latex gloves, latex masks, latex dresses which are there for all to see to the latex lingerie you might choose just for the pleasure of your partner such as latex panties or thongs and latex bras. In fact, whether you are a first time explorer or a true latex rubber connoisseur, we are sure you will find something for you in our wide range of latex rubber clothes.

Wearing Latex Clothing
Damage to latex clothing usually occurs when it is being put on so be patient and always handle latex rubber clothes carefully. If it has been kept in a cool place allow the clothing to warm up and soften naturally. You may want to wear light cotton gloves to protect the rubber. Before attempting to put them on, latex rubber clothes should be talced liberally on the inside to make them easier to slip into. Alternatively, some people prefer to use a silicone shining product such as Sharon Sloane's Super Shiner or any non oil-based natural lubricant such as NX9 or Joy Jelly. Simply apply all over the body and slide right in. If you are having trouble getting your latex clothing on, then you are not using enough powder or lube. Any excess that remains on the outside of the latex clothing can be wiped off with a damp cloth. Pulling on tight latex clothing too enthusiastically can leave permanent fingertip dimples and or tear the latex rubber. Be aware that the thinner the latex rubber or the tighter it is stretched, the more easily it will tear. Do not tug at localised areas of latex rubber or it is more likely to rip. Slide your hand flat between the skin and the clothing and pull away with your whole hand, shifting the latex clothing as you do so. Repeat and shift until your clothing is in place. Be sure to watch for long fingernails or sharp jewellery when dressing as these can rip latex rubber very easily. Seek assistance with zips if you are having difficulty.

Shining Latex Clothing
Most people like their latex rubber clothes to look shiny though this is a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer a matt look on colours like turquoise. Remember that getting a good shine on your latex rubber clothes requires patience, a gentle touch, and practice. The longer you have your latex rubber clothes, and the more often they are shined, the shinier they will be.

To create the effects seen in the best latex rubber photography, the natural gloss of latex rubber should be enhanced by the use of a silicone spray such as Sharon Sloane's Super Shiner. We have heard stories of the use of household polishes on latex clothing but we do not recommend this as most can damage the sheen and even deteriorate the latex rubber. Oil based products especially should be avoided. Use a soft cloth when polishing your latex rubber clothes as an abrasive cloth could scratch the surface.

During the first treatment, mist one side of your latex clothing with Sharon Sloane's Super Shiner and then let it sit until almost all of the liquid has been absorbed into the latex rubber. Then flip your latex rubber clothes over and repeat on the other side. You do not want to wipe off the shining product - merely to spread it around. Do not rub hard. At best you will wipe away all the shine and at worst you may damage the surface of the latex rubber. You need to check your work under good lighting and do touch-ups as required. It may take two or three treatments to achieve a nice shiny, mirror-like, finish to your latex rubber clothes.

Washing Latex Clothing
After each time you wear your latex clothing it is important to clean it and put it away properly. Immediately after wearing your latex clothing, to remove sweat and cigarette smoke, rinse in lukewarm water with a little soap or mild liquid detergent (mind that you don't use anything meant to "cut grease" because it will damage the latex rubber) and wipe down (do not scrub) with a soft dampened cloth being sure to wash inside & out. Rinse the latex rubber clothes well, Shake away excess water & pat dry with a lint free towel and allow to dry naturally; do not use heat. Water streaks can usually be removed with a damp cloth afterwards. After washing, hang your latex rubber clothes to dry on a plastic hanger, finaly dust liberally with powder.

Storing Latex Clothing
When your latex rubber clothes are not in use dust well with talc inside and a little outside to stop it sticking. Store in a dark dry place such as a wardrobe and cover with a protective material such as a black plastic bag. Take extra care with coloured and transparent latex Clothing, which may stain on contact with copper-based metals, sweat, and make-up. If you hang your latex rubber clothes use a very wide PLASTIC hanger. We don't recommend hanging on thin hangers or by the straps, as that can stretch it out of shape. Do not store latex clothing near sunlight as ultra-violet light causes rapid deterioration in latex rubber and it will chalk or turn white. Try silicone to hide the white if this happens.

Tears & Repairing Latex Clothing
When dealing with latex rubber, a small tear can very quickly become a large one. However, don't despair if your latex rubber clothes begin to tear. As long as you repair the tear when it is small the latex rubber clothes will still be usable. To patch a tear in your latex rubber clothes, you will need the following items: rubber cement, a medium grain sand paper, rubbing alcohol, and a small latex rubber patch. The simplest approach is to buy and inner tube repair kit as it contains most of the items you will need. First clean both of the surfaces that you are going to glue together with the rubbing alcohol. If there is residue on the surfaces you wish to glue from Sharon Sloane's Super Shiner, or another rubber conditioner, prolonged immersion in soapy water may be necessary to clean the latex rubber. Your next step is to lightly buff both surfaces with the sand paper. This will enhance the strength of the bond. Now you're ready to apply the glue! The latex will curl up, but don't worry as it will gradually uncurl when it begins to dry. You might have to help it uncurl if the latex rubber has stuck to itself; for this reason, it is better to glue a small part of the patch at time, rather than the whole thing at once. When the glue is still tacky, but not wet, you want to press the two surfaces together. Run your fingers down the seam, or roll a pen or other cylindrical object down the seam to remove all the air. Let your latex rubber clothes dry for a couple hours (overnight if possible) before testing the patch. This procedure may take a couple of tries to work but be patient and keep trying.

Precautions!

• Do not leave latex clothing exposed to direct sunlight or artificial light (i.e. fluorescent lighting).
• Do not leave latex clothes on or near heaters.
• Do not leave latex clothes in damp or moist conditions
• Stay away from flame and fire (including cigarettes) while wearing latex rubber clothes as the material burns very easily.
• Avoid or at least be careful of sharp objects like jewellery and long nails, cigarettes in clubs, and those that come up to you and stretch the latex rubber just to hear it snap (you can usually discourage that with a crack of the Latex Peni-Whip!).
• Do not allow latex rubber clothes to come into contact with copper, brass or bronze as it will stain the rubber permanently.
• Do not spray perfume or cologne on the latex rubber as the alcohol contained in these products will not do the latex rubber any good.
• Use caution when wearing latex rubber clothes and leather clothes together as the oils used to keep leather in good shape can seriously harm the rubber.
• We are not responsible for the staining or whitening of any items as these processes are beyond our control.
• Never use latex clothing and oils together because the latex rubber will gradually disintegrate. If you plan on something slippery, make sure it is water based, like Cult NX9 lube or Sharon Sloane's Super Shiner.
