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.
The Leggins
In general, you can tell with these leggings that it’s cheap moulded latex rather than glued sheet latex. The smell also isn’t quite what people usually describe - it has a somewhat more chemical scent. Since this was my first larger piece apart from socks and gloves, I was really curious about how it would feel to wear. Latex feels tight, a bit like a second skin. When it fits snugly, there’s just a pleasant, light pressure on the skin, and overall, it feels really good.
A bit more stuff
I also bought plain unscented dish soap without any dyes. As far as I know it is recommended to use plain soap for washing latex, as additives can damage the material.
I am really looking forward to my catsuit, but I know that it will still take a few weeks for it to be shipped.
