Latex Clothing Care : how to make it shine and last longer ?

Latex Clothing is made of rubber, a natural material, and as such it is delicate and it naturally degrades over time.

But with the proper Latex Clothing care, your garment will shine and last longer than ever.

To put on your catsuit step by step, follow our guide How to put on a latex catsuit.

Latex clothing will often be delivered with a thin coating of talcum powder in order to reduce the friction of the material.

For this reason a latex garment must be washed before each use. After worn, Latex Clothes must be washed again and covered with talcum powder for storage, until the next time you have to do it over again from the beginning.

Latex Clothing Care: step by step

  1. Put on with a silicone lubricant (e.g. pjur CULT Dressing Aid), applied to the garment and to the skin. Never use an oil-based lubricant.
  2. Avoid:
    • fingernails and jewellery;
    • oils (massage oils, essential oils, oil-based deodorants);
    • copper, brass, bronze and nickel;
    • rough or sharp objects.
  3. Wash by hand in lukewarm water, with a little oil-free washing-up liquid. Rinse, do not wring.
  4. Dry hanging on a non-metal hanger, in the shade, away from any heat source. Pat dry with a soft cloth.
  5. Store: once dry, apply talcum powder for storage; do not store latex shined with silicone. Store hanging, not balled up, away from light, heat and humidity, and keep colours apart (latex stains by contact).
  6. Shine before wearing, with pjur CULT Ultra Shine. The garment is delivered matt.
  7. Never: bleach, tumble dryer, ironing, dry cleaning, washing machine.
  8. Safety:
    • natural latex: do not wear if you are allergic to latex;
    • flammable: keep away from flames;
    • a built-in sheath is not a condom and protects neither against STIs nor pregnancy;
    • silicone makes the floor slippery.

Latex Clothing Care : Do’s and Dont’s

‍

  • Avoid sharp or rough objects, fingernails and jewellery: latex can rip very easily if punctured. Also always inspect your garment before and after use.
  • Avoid contact with copper, brass, bronze and nickel (such as coins and some jewellery).
  • Avoid all oils (oil-based lubricants, massage oils, essential oils, oil-based deodorants): they degrade the material. Use only a silicone lubricant, and do not store your latex shined with silicone: apply talcum powder once dry.
  • Avoid sunbeams : natural light will degrade the longterm integrity of your latex.
