Thank you for your commission! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it for you!
Here are some tips for how to care for your latex!

Latex by itself doesn’t have that shine you may have seen on videos and pictures on the internet. You need to add shiner!
Shiner is like an oil or lube applied to the latex with a cloth that makes it… well Shine!
Here are three different shiners that are most popular:

It is up to you whichever you want to use! I personally use vivishine.
When you want to shine, just apply a small amount to a cloth and rub it all over your latex! Simple as that! Just don’t use actual cooking oil. It will degrade the latex.

Latex unfortunately isn’t like putting on yoga pants. Clothes for the most part don’t carry a lot of friction or tackiness, they are smoother surfaces that are easy to take on and off. Like dough that doesn’t stick to your hands.

So we need to close those pores with either of two things!

Either will clog those pores and make it easy to slide on! It’s a matter of personal preference which one is right for you. My suggestions are aid for more closed outfits like gloves and hoods so it doesn’t clump up after prolonged use and talc for open outfits like dresses and skirts since it’s more free flowing. But that’s just me. You’re free to choose what works best for you. I personally use aid for most things just because it’s easier to apply! And the three brands mentioned above also have their own dressing aid.

Now that the water has removed anything in the pores they need to be filled up again so the latex doesn’t stick to itself. You can either:

1. Add a tiny amount of shiner to your bathtub/bucket/etc. With a good amount of clean water to dilute it. Then dunk your latex into the water. The shiner will spread to all parts of the pores and fill them up.
2. Hang your latex to dry or lay it on a clean towel. Once it’s completely dry, apply talc powder to all parts of it.

Either way make sure it’s dry and the pores are covered by dressing aid or talc before storing.

So now you’ve cleaned your latex and now you need to store it. Well there’s a couple of things you can do!

Short term storage (I’m going to wear this again soon!)
You can absolutely just hang up your latex but with a few caveats.

1. Do NOT store it on metal hangers. Metal interacts and damages the material. EXCEPT for stainless steel and aluminum. I’m not a scientist and still don’t get this except for something something trees are above ground and metal is below (mostly) so they don’t mix. I only use plastic hangers and plastic claw hangers with pants and skirts.
Keep your latex out of the sun while stored. Latex is allergic to the sun and stored in it, the sun will slowly bleach your latex like a bad tan line.

Latex that has multiple colors, more crucial for lighter colors like yellow and white, should only be stored on a hanger or with some form of barrier between the colors if you prefer to put it in a bag for longer storage. (More on this later) Like this: I wouldn’t store my dress in a bag unless I have to.

2. You can store your latex in a garment bag if you’re feeling extra fancy and want to store it for longer storage. It will also protect it from your other clothes or if you don’t want your other clothes to get “oily”. I personally have these but I’m mostly lazy about using them and I have too many items now to store all of my latex in the limited amount of garment bags I have.

Long Term Storage (My latex is only for special occasions)

1. For this type of storage my recommendation is talc powder but if all you have is shiner and dressing aid then shiner works fine as well. Talc is more common for long term storage and is what your new item would be covered in if you order from a commercial seller.
2. You can use any type of ziploc plastic bag to store your item into, as long as it’s airtight. It is better to use a clear plastic bag without any label on it because those “can” bleed onto your latex but I haven’t seen anything like that in my experiences. My guess is it’s more prevalent with lighter colors. If you’re worried about it you can use tissue paper between the logos and the clothing.
3. Fold your item carefully and place it into the bag. For multi colored items you can place tissue paper in between the colors to make sure they don’t bleed onto each other. Make sure it is acid free like in this link if you want to do this.

These are some general things for you to know about latex!

Latex is super stretchy! It is a very durable material but it is not unrippable. If someone can fit their entire body through a neck entry catsuit then you can stretch your latex a bit more than you think so you don’t need to constantly worry about ripping something. Trust me, I’ve had my latex pants for years and it took that amount of time for my dummy thicc ass to rip a small hole into it. Which is how I started doing this!

On that note, keep it away from sharp objects. Like an inflated balloon, its one weakness besides ceilings, is a sharp pointy object. Like metal sticking out of some sign or walking through some bushes with thorns. Not sure when those come up but just be aware of your surroundings.

• I’ve mentioned metal a few times throughout this. Touching metal for a millisecond will not ruin your latex. It is not that allergic to metal that it will explode. It’s more of a cautionary tale and the less time it has to interact with non-stainless steel, non-aluminum metals the better. This includes collars, bracelets, necklaces, and other fun metal things you may have! If your latex has any metal with it I’ve made sure to the best of my knowledge it is stainless steel and/or aluminum!
• I’ve also been talking about colors bleeding onto each other. I’ve done my own testing and lighter colors definitely take things in easier, more specifically white takes in practically everything for fun. But what I’ve noticed is that it seems if the pores are clogged with talc or dressing aid the less likely these colors bleed into each other. Less likely meaning I haven’t noticed anything and I have a rainbow dress I took into the woods and cleaned there after use. The same thing applies to metals at least from what I’ve seen. Just be sensible and you’ll be fine.
You can shower with your latex on after wearing it! It comes off easier in the shower and it honestly feels great after a long day to get in the shower with it on (at least for me). You can use soap, as long as it’s unscented, to clean it as well right then and there in the shower. Then lube it up or let it dry and talc it up after you’re done. Just be careful with items that are tight around the neck since water will build up around your nose and mouth unless you put some space between your head and the item. If you ever need a zipper you can let me know!

If you have a bigger item like a dress or skirt what I do is take two of those clip hangers and hang it upside down to get the maximum amount of air and make sure it isn’t touching itself while it dries. Like so! I only do this for drying.

Latex being porous means it doesn’t breathe! What does that mean? It means your sweat retains within it because it can’t escape outside of your item. I.e. wearing latex gloves outside, sweat can accumulate inside the gloves because it can’t evaporate. Meaning your skin has a harder time keeping itself cool, especially outdoors. So be sure to stay hydrated for extended periods of wear!

You can wear your latex to sleep but it’s generally not advised past 24 hours for the reason above. Give your skin time to rest and breathe again!

• Keep in mind, the same thing about unscented soap applies to perfume and other smelly types of things. Same thing applies to lotion: don't use it. Dressing aid and talc got you covered. Just don’t wear or apply it right before you put on your latex.

Thank you for reading through all of this! I’ll update this if there are more things that come to mind but I genuinely appreciate you putting your trust in me to make your new latex item! Latex is all about self expression and I hope that you feel even more confident wearing this out, wherever you choose to. And if you ever need a repair I’m always happy to help with whatever you may need!
