Wet Look Clothing
Remember the trend of wet-look materials that gained popularity a decade ago? While you can still find some wet-look items in mainstream stores, if you prefer variety and choice, visiting a specialty store might be the way to go. Wet-look clothing offers both style and comfort—it's stretchy, lined for added comfort, and designed to avoid rubbing or sticking to your skin.
Caring for Wet Look Clothing
Caring for your wet-look pieces is simple. Just follow the instructions on the care label. For best results, use a gentle wash cycle or handwash with mild detergent to maintain the material’s integrity and shine.
Latex Clothing
Latex, a form of rubber, provides a restrictive yet exhilarating sensation when worn. Available in various thicknesses, it offers different levels of comfort and tightness. Unlike PVC, latex is stretchy but can be tricky to get on. To make the process easier, stock up on latex-friendly lube and talcum powder, so you don’t end up stuck halfway into your outfit. When wearing latex, be cautious of jewelry and long nails, as they can easily tear the material—what starts as a small snag can quickly turn into a big rip. Having a partner assist with putting on latex can be a helpful option. And, of course, if you have a latex allergy, it’s best to avoid wearing it.
Latex clothing is made in two ways: cut and glued (with seams) or dipped. Dipped latex is typically thicker, which can make it more difficult to put on. Consider this when choosing your latex fetish wear. Also, be prepared for a strong odor when you first unbox your latex pieces—it’s completely normal.
For a more user-friendly option, try Datex (not a typo). Datex features a latex outer layer with a material lining underneath, making it easier to wear and remove compared to standard latex. It’s generally stretchier than PVC and can still be polished to achieve the signature glossy finish of latex
Caring for and Cleaning Your Latex Clothing
To keep your latex looking its best, always hand wash it in lukewarm water with a mild, unscented, colorless liquid detergent. Submerge the garment in soapy water and gently wash for around five minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid twisting or scrubbing the material, as this can damage it.
To dry your latex, turn it inside out (this helps it dry faster) and hang it on a plastic or wooden hanger. Avoid metal hangers, as they can react with the latex and cause discoloration. Alternatively, you can lay your latex flat on a towel and gently pat it dry.
Storing Latex Clothing
Make sure your latex is completely dry before storing it. Lightly dust it with talcum powder to prevent it from sticking to itself, then store it in a cool, dark place. To avoid fold marks from prolonged storage, hang your latex on a plastic or wooden hanger inside a garment bag, or wrap it in a black plastic (or trash) bag.
How to Shine Your Latex
To achieve that irresistible, glossy shine, use a latex-specific polish. Latex shines are available in silicone-based aerosol sprays, serums, or polishes. Simply apply the product by spraying or rubbing it onto the latex. Keep in mind that silicone polish provides a matte finish, while aerosol sprays and silicone serums create a high-shine effect.
