LATEX MAINTENANCE
Latex is a unique material used to create the most fantastic creations, from extreme fetish to high fashion. A beautiful, handmade item is an investment and requires your attention to proper care. So, do you want to enjoy your beautiful latex items for a long time? Take a moment and read how easy it is!
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PUT ON LATEX CLOTHING
Make sure you don't wear sharp jewelry: so check rings, bracelets, earrings, etc. for sharp protrusions. The latex clothing should be easy to put on or take off. This is done with a special gel , which also acts as a care product for your latex.
WHAT IS NOT GOOD FOR YOUR LATEX CLOTHING
Oil and latex don't mix! Make sure the latex doesn't come into contact with (body) oil. Finally, a general tip: keep your latex away from sunlight, even indoors, and preferably hang it on a hanger to prevent wrinkles. Storing it in a garbage bag is a good option.

ALL ABOUT MAINTAINING YOUR LATEX:
• Hand wash your latex with a mild soap or the special ViviClean .
• Dry your latex inside out. Hang it up or lay it on a towel to dry.
• Always try to wash your latex within two days of wearing it. Sweat can make the latex porous and eventually cause it to break down.
• After washing, dust with (baby) powder. This prevents the latex from sticking together and keeps the garment nice and supple.
• Store light-colored clothes separately from dark ones as they may stain the light colors.
• Store your latex items in a dark place. Black plastic (garbage bags) are an ideal storage solution.
• Good to know that latex can melt! Keep it away from hot sources (irons, sun, stovetops, etc.).
• Caution! Copper will stain your latex. Make sure you don't have jewelry, copper coins, or anything similar nearby.
• Latex does not like chlorine (swimming pool water).
• You can damage latex with sharp objects such as sharp jewelry, nails, tacks, or splinters in furniture, etc. So be careful what you sit on and what you wear!
HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU'RE ALLERGIC TO LATEX?
We regularly hear about allergic reactions to latex. This is possible because the proteins in natural latex can cause hypersensitivity. Our latex is drained (specially processed) to minimize the risk of allergies. This is the same material used for medical purposes and complies with many international standards (including the American FDA). Sometimes people think they are allergic to latex, but in fact, the allergy can be caused by the perfume added to talcum powder. If you prefer using talcum powder, we recommend purchasing medical-grade powder.
