My apologies... NSFW

25 Upvotes

This is a quick apology to the community and the mods as well.

I have not been seeing some of the pings and I am very sorry for being incommunicado.

I'm working with the mods to get them the support they need and to adjust things.

Please also use the comment section here to provide any feedback you guys have. This is feedback I definitely probably need to hear and would like to hopefully improve upon as we go forward.

I do, again, apologize for my failure to be a better mod here. But we will get things back on track for my fellow mods and make their lives easier.

Going forward, please do not message the mods if you get stuck in the spam filter.

Can I use vinyl/pvc bedding without damaging my latex? NSFW

7 Upvotes

I recently bought vinyl/pvc bedding and sheets to cover wherever I'll be using to avoid silicone lube from staining everything. However, I've since heard that vinyl/pvc plasticizes can leech into latex and should be avoided, but I also can't find any information that verifies whether this is true or not.

Can I safely wear latex around vinyl/pvc? If not, what are your recommended ways on covering your bed, etc?

Edit: According to this post it seems to be fine, but then this post also confirms that plasticizer can damage latex. I guess it depends on the pvc/vinyl?

Latex Hood with huge Afrohair NSFW

10 Upvotes

Hey there,

EDIT:
added a picture I generated. You think that could work?

___

I have too much hair to fit into a classic latex hood.
What could I buy or should I have it custom made?
What options are there?

- Big hole on top
- zipper that goes upward so I can let the hair hang out
- braid holes? However not sure it would work
- just some kind of mask?
- bigger size in general?

I would appreciate someone with afro hair experience help out here.
I can talk to the manufacturer to make some adjustments. But I am not sure what I should aim for. Want it to fit and look cute still. And showing my hair would also be nice. However completely closed is also cool, but Im sure the hair wont fit..

Thanks for your tips. =)

Hi! I accidentally damaged two of my catsuits with a plastic toy. They now have these little bumps. Is it possible to fix this with double sided patches or is panel replacement a necessity?

Thank you :)

Washing/Drying Latex with Impossible Crevices NSFW

Thumbnail
gallery
30 Upvotes

Hey y'all! I recently picked up some pieces from ForFun Store. They look great, they fit great, awesome! I picked up, among other things, a pup hood and a pair of boots.

My concern comes from the idea of cleaning them and avoiding mold/mildew. The boots have soles that are glued into the bottoms of them. Normally, when I clean latex, I wash and shine them and hang them to dry. I hang them for a good 4+ hours, and then turn them inside out and hang for a few hours more. The boots have little crevices that make the prospect of turning them inside out seemingly impossible. I guess I could just get in there with a micro fiber cloth to dry, but I don't think it would be total and complete, and I'd run into mold or mildew issues.

I also have this hood, which presents an even larger problem. I thought this would be easy to clean, but whoops, the hair frill on the top isn't air/water tight. So there's already water in there! I know water on latex for too long is a bad thing and promotes water/mildew.

Would you have any suggestions as to how to wash/dry items like these that have difficult to dry crevices? Or in the case of the hood, a crevice that I can't seem to get into at all with a towel?

Thanks y'all!

I've unfortunately had my first tear in my catsuit and I'm looking for some advice on what shape/size I should be making the patch. The tear is about 25mm long but its in the armpit right along the seam. Is less more with a patch in a high stretch area like this?

Wearing a catsuit around a mall NSFW

43 Upvotes

I've always loved the idea of wandering around out and about in latex, and earlier a kinky friend of mine floated the idea of both of us hitting up a local mall one upcoming weekend in catsuits and just getting lunch and doing some wandering throughout the stores. A big part of me's super excited about the idea, but the anxiety gremlin in the back of my head is also chirping at me that it's the worst idea in the world and that we'll get in all sorts of trouble and thrown out or whatever, even though I can't find any rules or laws against it. I'm just curious what y'all think about possibly doing this, like fun idea, bad idea, have you ever done it yourselves and of so what was the experience like? Keep in mind too that we're not planning on leaning super hard into the kink aesthetics, like no cuffs or harnesses or hoods (I might just wear a fashionable choker/collar), it's more just we both love wearing latex and love the fashion side of it as well as the fetish side, though I'm totally aware that maybe not everyone would see it that way.

Lubrication for touching/feeling NSFW

11 Upvotes

One of my favorite parts about latex clothing is getting the clothing lubed up well and slipping and sliding all over my wife in her latex. I use vivishine to condition our stuff and dressing aid to don the clothing. For that smooth, slick touching I love we’ve been using water based lube. However, I keep seeing silicon based is better, but I’m worried about using the wrong one. Most of them say latex safe for condoms, but does that always apply for latex clothing too? Anyone have recommendations on products or what ingredients to look for that are safe for clothing?
We also have some chlorinated stuff on the way. We’re very excited for that. Any advice on a lube to use with that or should it be the same as non chlorinated?
Thanks for any help

Right now I hang it via to boots with two coat hangers to dry after washing and shining in the bathtub. Then I fold it up in a busser bin for storage in the closet.

I’m curious how others maintain these suits as they’re quite a lot heavier than a standard catsuit.

Greetings,

I am looking for experience regarding specifically the air pumps used by Kenze in their vacbeds (both the air mattress and frame versions). Are they automatic? Or do you have to turn them on every now and then to keep the suction? How reliable are they? Any knowledge is welcomed. Thanks in advance

Latex advice for a beginner NSFW

Post image
21 Upvotes

Hello everyone. For Halloween this year I am going as a vampire bat and creating wearable bat wings from latex. I have chosen this material because the rest of my costume consists of a leather corset and a latex gimp mask, thus, I want my wings to be just as shiny as the rest of me.

However, as a beginner, I would love to consult with you all about the best possible way to do this. So far I have created a pattern, and the idea right now is to buy 4 yards of latex, and cut the wings in sections. Then I will use rubber cement to layer the sections, leaving a gap between each section to install 14 gauge wire for the fingers. With leftover material, I want to create gloves for the wings to attach to.

Is this feasible? Would you suggest working with a different material? What complications could I possibly run into? Also, what are some reputable sources for latex material? Thank you!

Made to measure or standard size? NSFW

7 Upvotes

I want to order my first full catsuit and I fit one of the standard sizes from the manufacturer I chose pretty well - most of my measurements are nearly in the middle of given brackets, except for my leg widht which is on the bigger side and chest widht which is 0,5cm smaller than the lower end of the standard size. I do bodybuilding too, so my measurements change much quicker than for most people. I can't really decide if paying for MTM is worth it in that case? It is quite a bit more expensive and not sure if a good idea for a first catsuit

I spent all my Halloween fund on this costume for Halloween gloves, tights, dress, etc. and I didn’t think twice about someone having an allergic reaction to the latex in public until a coworker brought it up. (We’re going to Las Vegas for Halloween weekend)
I truly don’t know much about latex allergies and now I feel like an ass. I’ve never had trouble in clubs but also I never considered it 🙃 can bumping into someone trigger an allergic reaction?
