FAQs
For a fitted top, which areas require the most dressing aid?
The shoulders, bust, and sleeves/cuffs. Due to the stretching required over the shoulders and chest, you must apply a generous amount of silicone dressing aid (lube) or talcum powder to the interior. Concentrate the product on the shoulder seams, bust line, and the inside of the sleeves/armholes to minimize friction and prevent tearing.
How can I prevent my fingernails from tearing the material while putting the top on?
Wear dressing gloves or use only the finger pads. Latex is very vulnerable to tears from sharp fingernails. Always use the flat, soft pad of your fingers or, ideally, wear soft cotton dressing gloves when handling, pulling, or adjusting the sleeves and necklines to protect the material from accidental punctures.
What maintenance is needed for zippers, if present, on the latex top?
Regular silicone oil application is essential. The zipper (whether front, back, or side) is a point of constant movement and tension. Regularly apply a small amount of silicone oil (not dressing lube) directly to the zipper teeth and the slider mechanism. This ensures smooth operation and reduces the risk of the surrounding latex tearing.
What is the most important step for cleaning a top worn close to the skin?
Immediate and thorough washing of the interior to remove sweat and oils. Sweat and body oils degrade latex rapidly. Immediately after wearing, hand wash the garment with a dedicated latex cleaner or mild soap. Ensure the interior is completely rinsed (repeatedly) to remove all sweat residue, then hang it inside-out to dry fully in a cool, dark place.
