r/Latexadvice

My husband is very dominant in every day life. At home we're very traditional, with other men he's dominant, smart, confident and i swear he can do anything he decides he's going to do. However in bed he always been timid. I think it comes from a place of fear of rejection or he's not sure how to do something well so he doesn't do it. This has gotten exponentially better in the past few years but it took us a while to get here!

Recently he bashfully expressed to me that he wanted to touch latex leggings. I looked into it and bought a dress and leggings. I'm getting gloves and full panties next! He loves it!!! He said he not into the BDSM side of it at all and he just wanted to feel the texture and rub against it and it's visually hot!

He's also mentioned he likes the confidence that comes from me when i wear it. He likes that it's a "game on" sign and im not shy.

We've had other talks and i get the feeling he'd really like it if i just take over in bed and tell him what to do and do with him what i want!

Im looking for play ideas... things to try.

For tonight I'm thinking about getting dressed in black latex, calling him to tell him to come shine me! Then he'll go shower and I'll watch from the corner. Ill get him to go lay on the bed and sit on him let him rub his hands all over my front while i lube in between us and rub my latex dress on his cock.

How else can i incorporate the latex sensory for him?!!! He's shy to indulge in it too much. I think he thinks I'll wonder if he likes latex more than me. I could see that being an issue ll with some people so im in the lookout for it. Right now, i just want to drive him wild while i can!

Any suggestions on how to incorporate the latex fetish for him more?

Basically the title. Does anyone have experience using dimethicone based products or pure dimethicone (lmk if thats absurd, lol, im a noob) on silicone products?

I have a hood from FeturaX im want to shine but I don't want to buy their own shine oil because of international shipping costs

But their oil is dimethicone based, supposedly, so how safe is it on silicone?

I'm looking for a firefly cosplay in latex and they seem to be the only ones making the suit. I've never heard of them before so I'd like to ask y'all if you've had any dealings with them and if they are trustworthy sellers. Thanks!!

I've always been interested in skin-tight clothing, but mostly for the feeling of encasement and the tactile feeling of the material, rather than the aesthetics. I have some spandex catsuits that I love wearing but I've never tried latex. For those who've tried both, is there a big difference in how they feel? What about between chlorinated and unchlorinated latex? (Is it worth committing to the latex care routine to get unchlorinated?)

Does anyone have any stores they have or seen that sell sleepsacks / bondage bags with attached hoods? :)

I’ve been wearing rubber gear for about 6 years now, probably once or twice a month.

However, I went to a rubber festival weekend and was wearing my rubber most of the day for about 4 days.

A day after I got home, I started getting a pins and needles/burning/itching sensation all over my body. I’ve never had this before from wearing rubber, and wondered if it’s just a heatrash? However, there is NO visible rash or marks on my skin.

It’s been a few days now and I’m still feeling very itchy all over. I really hope it isn’t an allergy developing 😭 All my rubber is kept well washed and vivishine used to lube it up.

TIA for any advice 🙏

Hello, I’m a guy and I want to buy my first latex piece, but honestly there’s ALOT to chose from and I don’t know where to start. I also currently live with my friend and I don’t want him finding out about my passion (for obvious reasons), therefore I’d rather purchase something small and compact, which wouldn’t take a lot of time to put on and off. Any suggestions?

I’ve noticed Kenze have brought out a smart vacuum pump for their vacuum devices. Has anyone bought and tested this new device? Curious how well and reliably it works.

(TLDR AT BOTTOM)

For context, I don't get to wear my latex that often because there is nobody around here to participate in this kink with, and when I do it's generally with my rubber sister when she's visiting from abroad a few times a year (she made the catsuits in question, also). Both of these suits were probably worn less than twenty times each over the course of three years.

In January, when suiting up in the orange and black catsuit, I felt a massive blowout along the butt-cheek and felt the rubber open up into an irreparable tear. Bummer, I thought, rubber sister will have to make me a new one (she'll be bringing another one in August/September).

Last night, I'm trying to suit up in my plain black one. The exact same thing happens again (though the tear wasn't as large). And it looks like it originates in exactly the same spot, on the sides of the zipper where all the panels meet.

I wanted to chalk up the first tear to just "oh well, it happens" but now that it's happened to ANOTHER suit in the same spot, I can't give it the benefit of the doubt. Something is going on. They also cannot be repaired because the latex is heavily chlorinated and the tears are in the latex themselves, not on a seam.

My first suspicion is maybe it's the way I'm storing it. I clean all my garments when I'm done, let them dry, then Vivishine them in the bathtup, let them dry again, before putting them in half fabric/half plastic garment bags, then hanging them in the closet. They are being kept in a very dark place, but they are not in an airtight seal owing to the fabric part of the garment bag. I keep my smaller latex pieces, oversized latex bedsheets, and lower value things in simple large storage bags IN an airtight seal and I seemingly don't have these problems; but then again I'm not straining to put a lot of those pieces on, either.

My other suspicion is maybe it was the soap I used to clean it originally. For a while I was using orange Ajax dish soap to disinfect them from all the sweat, but I was recently told that the dyes in there were not good AND I was probably rubbing the latex too hard together trying to clean it out. So I have recently switched to non-scented, non-dyed soap instead, but perhaps the damages have already been done here.

My only other thought is that there just isn't enough reinforcement in the crotch area and these are just the natural result of the latex aging and being used. I'm just incredibly sad that this is seemingly happening in the same spots, and I'm not even wearing these things every week. Like once a month, MAYBE. That being the case, I asked my rubber sister if she could put a reinforcement patch on the replacement black/orange suit she's currently making to hopefully keep a tear like this from happening again. I also ordered a replacement black catsuit from LatexVogue that won't be ready until around the same time as the black/orange one, so I just want to make sure I preserve these other two for as long as I possibly can.

TLDR: Is my latex tearing in the crotch because of simple tension and aging, is it tearing because I'm storing it on hangers in a garment bag instead of a Ziploc bag, is it tearing because I've used an improper soap to clean it and weakened it, or is it a combination of all these?

How is the material called which has latex on the outside and fabric on the inside so there is no need for dressingoil?

I’m a 30-something-year-old gay guy who happily came out of the closet more than a decade ago … but not completely. My homosexuality is no secret, but my kinks are something that I continue to hide from nearly everyone.

I’ve only shared this part of myself with one close friend, my previous boyfriends, and those in the kink scene. I have a kink Instagram, but I blur my face.

Part of me thinks that this secrecy is totally appropriate. I don’t want to subject people to my kinks without their consent, and I don’t want my coworkers, family members, or fellow parishioners (Episcopalian, very chill) to find out.

But on the other hand, this secrecy weighs on me. It feels like my “coming out” was never totally complete or honest. Kink is as big a part of my sexual identity as my homosexuality (I truly think I was “made this way”).

I’m jealous of the guys who don’t blur their faces in their kink photos. I feel so inhibited and uptight. Dating is hard; when I tell people about my kinks (which are not that crazy, I’m just into leather/latex and general BDSM), it often turns them away. And I think that they can sense my lack of confidence about the subject.

I’ve made attempts to make friends in the kink community, but they have not been very successful. I am very LTR- and monogamy-oriented and a bit more traditional than many in “the scene.” I haven’t ever felt a strong connection or identification with anyone I’ve met there so far. I feel like I don’t fit in, and it’s lonely.

Have you felt this way before? Do you have advice for me?
