How it started
Over ten years ago, my fascination with shiny materials like latex and PVC started to emerge, though I can’t pinpoint exactly when it began. Something about the sleek, glossy look of these materials caught my attention and stuck with me. Over time, my interest in latex, in particular, has grown significantly, to the point where I decided to explore it further by getting my own pieces.
My first purchase
Just a few days ago, I received my very first pair of latex socks - a simple pair of black socks that I ordered from AliExpress (yes, I’m aware of the mixed reviews about ordering from there). They fit okay-ish, although they’re a bit loose around my slim ankles, which was a little disappointing. Still, despite the fit, I found that I really enjoy the feeling of the latex on my skin. There’s something intriguing about how it clings and moves, and I’m excited to explore this more.
Along with the socks, I also ordered a small bottle of dressing aid to help me get used to wearing latex and to make sure the socks stay in good condition. From what I’ve learned, caring for latex is essential if you want it to last and retain its quality, so I’m starting to get the hang of proper latex care.
Whats coming next
Now that I’ve dipped my toes into this world—literally - I’m already planning on ordering a few more smaller pieces. I’m thinking my next purchase could be a pair of gloves or maybe even some latex pants, if I can find something affordable. I’ve been browsing a lot of shops, but the prices can be pretty steep. Many sellers are asking for 70-90€ for just a single pair of pants, which seems like quite a lot, especially when I’m still in the early stages of experimenting with this material. That being said, I understand that quality latex is expensive, and if I want something truly nice, I’ll eventually have to invest more.
For now, I’m enjoying taking these first steps, learning how latex works, how it feels, and figuring out which pieces I might want to add to my growing collection.
