Pup play is a role play between consenting adults: one partner takes on the character of a puppy, playful, curious and loyal, often with a “handler” who looks after them. Latex has a special place in it: it shines, hugs the body like a second skin and is easy to clean. This guide helps you choose your hood and your suit, and play safely.
The pup hood
This is the piece that makes the character. A good latex pup hood covers the whole head, with ears, a snout and openings for the eyes and mouth.
- Detachable snout: on Rex, it comes off so you can talk, drink or simply catch your breath.
- Open mouth and eyes: essential to breathe comfortably and see well.
- Back zip: you can put the hood on and take it off on your own.
- Made to measure: a hood made to your head size neither squeezes nor gapes.
All our animal hoods are in Animal hoods.
The pup suit
The suit gives the pup its coat: a main colour and a contrast colour on the sides, chest or sleeves, like a dog’s fur.
- Hornet: contrast sides and sleeves, a three-point motif on the chest, inflatable tail.
- Wolfy: wolfhound look, chest panel with a paw print, long inflatable tail.
- Rusty: two colours, with a wide panel down the front.
The hood is not included with these suits: you can add it directly on the product page, made in the same colours as the suit.
Choosing your colours
Many pups have “their” colours, the ones people recognise from afar at a party or a meet. Our suits come in 82 colours, with a main colour and a contrast colour of your choice: black and blue, orange and black, red and white… Our colour chart helps you design your coat.
Pup, kitten or fox?
Pup play has cousins: some people play a kitten or a fox instead. Latex suits them just as well.
- Cats: the Feline catsuit with its cat-ear hood, Matou, and the Minou, Sugar or Panthera hoods.
- Fox: the Foxy catsuit and its matching Goupil hood.

Playing safely
- Consent: agree on the rules before you play, and anyone can stop at any time.
- A non-verbal stop signal: talking is not always easy in a hood. Agree on a simple gesture, such as tapping three times.
- Heat: latex does not breathe. Drink regularly, take breaks and take the hood off at the slightest discomfort.
- Knees: on all fours, knee pads protect both your knees and the latex.
- Never alone: never leave someone wearing a hood unattended.
- Allergy: if in doubt, read our guide on latex allergy.
Putting on and caring for your gear
A silicone dressing aid makes the suit and the hood slide on effortlessly: see how to put on a latex catsuit. After play, rinse your gear in lukewarm water, dry it and store it away from light, as explained in our latex care guide.
All our gear is handmade to order and can be made to measure from your own measurements. Read our other latex guides too.
