Why is latex clothing so expensive?

36
The short answer is that you can't do rubber and latex fashion on a modest budget. Latex, the material, is expensive to produce. There are very few places that make it, so usually it has to be shipped from Europe. It's the pervy equivalent of making clothes from the finest gold spun silk.”


Likewise, is latex comfortable to wear?

A lot of people tell us that latex feels good to wear, and that it makes them feel confident. Latex clothes have an amazing fit, hold you tight, and look like nothing else. A lot of latex is designed to be skin-tight because of how well it stretches to fit the body and how it amplifies curves.

Subsequently, question is, is latex clothing breathable? latex though porous is water proof, most of the water comes from a person's sweat … as for breathable? Well you have to be choosy on your clothing cuts and styles. with normal weave clothing you can have breathable fabrics that you can treat to be water proof… BUT with latex no.

Also to know, how do you shine latex cheaply?

Silicone spray works well for a quick shine; but make sure to apply it outdoors, because the spray is harsh. Apply a generous amount of silicone lubricant to the cloth and coat the garment gently with the silicone. Don't rub hard because the fabric is delicate and you can damage the surface.

What do you wear with latex pants?

They WILL make your latex shine bright, but the silicone deteriorates the rubber more quickly and makes the garment near-impossible to repair.

How do you wear a Catuit?

The key is : layering. You can wear them underneath slouchy sweaters, dresses. You can also tie a flannel shirt around the waist to tone down the look or if you are more daring like me simply layer it with a cropped jacket and pair with military style boots. Add a cool pair of sunnies and you are good to go.
