Dressing aids:

Damage to latex clothing usually happen when it is being put or removing the clothing. Be patient and always handle latex clothes with care.

• Before attempting to put them on, latex clothes should have talc liberally on the inside to make them easier to slip into. Some people prefer to use a silicone shining product. Simply apply all over the body and slide right in. Be aware that the tighter it is stretched, the more easily it will tear.
• Do not tug at localized areas of latex rubber or it is more likely to rip.
• Slide your hand flat between the skin and the clothing and pull away with your whole hand, shifting the latex clothing as you do so. Repeat and shift until your clothing is in place.

Storing latex clothing:

When your latex rubber clothes are not in use dust well with talc inside and a little outside to stop it sticking. Store in a dark dry place and cover with a protective material. Take extra care with coloured and transparent latex, which may stain on contact with copper-based metals, sweat, and make-up.

• Do not leave latex clothing exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not leave latex clothes on or near heaters.
• Do not leave latex clothes in damp or moist conditions
• Avoid or at least be careful of sharp objects like jewellery, long nails and cigarettes.
• Do not allow latex to come into contact with copper, brass or bronze, as it will stain the rubber permanently.
• Do not spray perfume or cologne on the latex.
• Use caution when wearing latex rubber clothes and leather clothes together as the oils used to keep leather in good shape can seriously harm the rubber.
• Make sure to exercise caution when taking off latex.

Washing Latex Clothing:

After each time you wear your latex clothing it is important to clean it and put it away properly. Immediately after wearing your latex clothing, to remove sweat and cigarette smoke, alcohol, rinse in lukewarm water with a little soap or mild liquid detergent. Wipe down [do not scrub] with a soft dampened cloth being sure to wash inside & out. Do not use bleach. Rinse the latex rubber clothes well, Shake away excess water & pats dry with a lint free towel and allow drying naturally. Water streaks can usually be removed with a damp cloth afterwards. After dry on a plastic hanger, finally dust liberally with powder.
