Latex material guide

Latex is made from the sap of the rubber tree and is considered a semi-natural fabric. The latex fabric we use is non-toxic.

Some features:

• has a four-way elasticity.
• The fabric does not breath
• Becomes cold when the surroundings are cold and warm when warm.
• Very sensitive to sun and UV-light

Putting the garment on

Since latex often is snug, you could need some help putting the garment on. There are primarily two kinds of dressing aids: talcum powder and silicone based fluid (such as Vividress sold in our web store). Be sure to remove all of your jewellery and avoid using nails when putting the garment on, since a small hole will be a big one quickly.

Latex has a matte surface before polished. When polished the fabric will follow the body more comfortably as well as have a protective surface against UV-light. We recommend using Vivishine polish, but there are other rubber polishes available.

Allergy

There are some who are allergic to latex. Even if the allergenic protein has been taken away from the latex sheeting we use, there may still be traces left. Therefore we do not recommend people with allergy to wear latex. Note that some are allergic to silicone or talcum powder and may mistake this for latex allergy. We therefore recommend that you consult a doctor (or equivalent) if you are uncertain about your allergy.
