Size & Care Guide
Latex clothing requires the right fit and the right care.
A well-made latex garment should feel close to the body, but it should not be forced, overstretched, or handled carelessly. The following guide is designed to help you choose, wear, clean, and store latex clothing more confidently.
How to Choose Your Size
Always check the specific size chart before ordering, as sizing may vary between different garment types and designs.
For bespoke latex clothing, accurate measurements are especially important.
Common measurements may include:
• Bust / chest
• Waist
• Hip
• Shoulder width
• Arm length
• Thigh
• Inseam
• Total height
• Neck
• Torso length
When measuring, use a soft measuring tape and keep it close to the body without pulling too tightly.
How Latex Should Fit
Latex clothing is designed to sit close to the body.
However, a good fit should still allow controlled movement, breathing, sitting, and wearing for the intended occasion.
If a garment is too tight, it may create unnecessary stress on seams and bonded areas.
If it is too loose, it may lose the smooth second-skin effect that makes latex visually distinctive.
How to Wear Latex Clothing
Latex should be handled gently when dressing.
Before wearing, make sure your skin and the inside of the garment are clean and dry.
Avoid sharp nails, jewellery, rough surfaces, and excessive pulling.
Some latex garments may require dressing aid or suitable latex-safe lubricant to reduce friction.
How to Clean Latex Clothing
After wearing, latex should be cleaned carefully.
General care steps:
1. Rinse gently with lukewarm water.
2. Use a mild latex-safe cleaner if needed.
3. Avoid harsh detergents, oils, solvents, and bleach.
4. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Dry naturally away from direct sunlight.
6. Make sure the garment is fully dry before storage.
How to Store Latex Clothing
Latex should be stored in a cool, dry, dark place.
Avoid:
• Direct sunlight
• Heat
• Sharp objects
• Metal contact
• Humidity
• Folding for long periods
• Contact with incompatible materials
For long-term storage, keep items separated and protected to avoid sticking, colour transfer, or surface damage.
Important Care Notes
Latex is a delicate fashion material. It can be affected by sunlight, oils, metals, heat, and rough handling.
Proper care helps preserve shine, elasticity, surface finish, and garment life.
