category: Latex Care

Timing I choose days for wearing latex when I only have plans in the evening at most and, if possible, do not need to leave the house. So, it’s usually on weekends or on days off. Preparations Before I start putting on my catsuit, I take everything off (including watches and bracelets). I also make sure that my fingernails and toenails are not too long and have no sharp edges. I then prepare the catsuit and keep the silicone oil within reach. Additionally, during the cold seasons, I set aside a pair of loose sweatpants and a roomy sweater to wear over it. I also ensure that I haven’t used any deodorant prior, as the ingredients can damage the latex. ...

After discovering the first hole im my catsuit I had no real choice but repair it. I ordered a repair kit consisting of cleaner, glue, and latex patches from a local dealer. Once the set arrived, I first cleaned the suit thoroughly with regular soap at the affected area and let it dry, then used the appropriate cleaner. I applied the glue to the area on the suit and the patch (which I cut into a round shape) and let it dry a bit. After that, I just placed the patch over the hole and pressed it down firmly. After about a day, I used the suit normally again, and so far everything is holding up great (I’m actually wearing the suit while writing this). I hope this is a permanent fix and that I don’t encounter any more issues with that spot, as it’s somewhat inconveniently located right at the zipper. But time will tell. ...

I’m not really sure what’s going on right now. Recently, I noticed a small hole in my catsuit, and now I have a bigger problem with my leggings. I hardly wear these leggings; they were mainly for testing the feel of latex and also for practicing the proper handling of latex. Consequently, I hadn’t worn them for several months, but I wanted to wash them today. While doing that, I noticed that some areas were sticking together unnaturally, and when I tried to pull them apart, the latex tore. This happened in several places - I probably didn’t dry the leggings well enough, which led to them deteriorating. ...

I washed my catsuit today and discovered the first small hole. I’m not sure exactly when it happened, probably the last time I wore it, although I didn’t do anything special then. Specifically, what I had voiced as a concern about catsuits with a split rear zipper has happened – there is now a small hole at the top of the crotch zipper, where the reinforcement from the zipper transitions to the regular latex. It’s exactly the spot between the two zippers thats under high stress. ...

Currently, I’m using just plain dish soap (and silicone oil) to clean and care for my latex items. I use silicone oil from Optimal Products (I’ve written about them before) and I’m really happy with it. It’s the most affordable oil from a trusted brand that I’ve found so far. However, I want to explore some additional products. They offer a latex cleaner and talcum powder in addition to the silicone oil. Since I haven’t worn the leggings in a while, I want to store them properly. Silicone oil seems to dry out after a few months, so washing the leggings, drying them, and then applying talcum powder should help keep them safe for a long time. ...

The dressing aid from EROS was good for the beginning, but in the long run, it’s just too expensive for me. So, I started looking for a more affordable option for silicone oil. Buying just any random oil from the internet seemed too risky, as the oil is in constant contact with the skin while wearing latex, and I wanted to avoid any (potentially harmful) impurities. After doing some research, I came across a supplier called Optimal-Products (their shop is here: optimal-products.de), based in Germany. I was able to buy a liter of silicone oil, advertised as a latex dressing aid, for under €20. Elsewhere, you’d pay that much for a 250ml bottle. The oil has made a good impression so far, and I regularly refill the smaller EROS BODYGLIDE bottle with it. They seem to sell stuff from their shop only to Austria, Germany and France - I don’t know if these limitations also apply if you buy their stuff via Amazon. ...

To gain more experience with the care and storage of latex (as well as with the feel, putting it on, etc.) before moving on to the catsuit, I bought an affordable pair of latex leggings from ME YOU US on Amazon for unter 30€. They are actually intended for women, but they fit me as a man in terms of size. The fit isn’t perfect, of course, but that doesn’t really matter. ...
