I recently watched an episode of HBO's Real Sex that featured latex clothing. To my surprise, my fiancee showed real interest in the look of latex and the way it improved the curves of the women who were wearing it.
Here's the problem. She's severely allergic to latex! We have to use microsheer polyurethane condoms because of her severe allergy.
So, beside PVC, is there anywhere that sells clothing with the same look and feel of latex, but doesn't actually contain any latex?
You can purchase or have actual rubber clothing made. However, many people don't deal in actual rubber and finding someone is going to be A) very, very hard and B) very, very expensive.
Your best bets are PVC and leather. If you absolutely must go with rubber, then keep in mind the following things:
It's hot. Rubber does not breathe or allow for the effective transfer of body heat. If worn, it can lead to dehydration and heat stroke.
Like latex, rubber will sometimes dry out and crack. If you find rubber clothing, be sure to ask how to prevent this.
I will once again say it is very expensive. A latex thong I saw in a shop once ran for about $25. A rubber panty I'd seen in a shop later on cost about $125.
Another possible consideration is neoprene. That's the stuff they make wetsuits out of. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you.
Another option is spandex. It is easy to find and relatively inexpensive.
Bruce and Valorie make great clothing of many types kinky and otherwise check them out at www.spandexwear.com

wow and i thought i pose tough questions!! :confused: but is think i agree the best option may be pvc
what about celefane. It is cheap if wound tightly enough it can have some of the smoothing efects of latex.
Truly traumatizing. I say Bruce should take a leave and let Valorie model the clothing.Quote:

I'm with the neoprene crowd. Suits can be heavy (up to 7-mils thick) or light. 3-mils is usually the lightest for diving suits... but if you're having something tailored... you can probably get thinner.
Has anyone mentioned vinyl yet? I've read something about that in another thread...
All I know about vinyl stuff is that it's expensive! well that's what I gather from the price of those lovely black vinyl dildos.. oh I so want one for my harness!
I think clothes made from it would be pricey too.

And trust me, its the rubber, not the powders or spermicide. Any contact and the hives, swelling of the eyes, and intensely sick.
We discovered or figured out the allergy thankfully before using a condom. The doctors have said it would be almost as bad as a toxic shock reaction
