Starting the Latex Experiment
Okay so last Tuesday I finally unpacked that nude-colored latex catsuit collecting dust in my closet. Felt like wrestling an octopus trying to pull it on dry – totally impossible. Big mistake.
The Prep Work Disaster
First I grabbed cheap talcum powder because my fancy silicone dressing aid ran out. Big clouds of white dust everywhere – looked like a flour bomb exploded in my bathroom. Still couldn’t slide my foot through the leg hole properly. Nearly ripped a seam struggling.
-
Lessons learned fast:
- Use. More. Lube. Poured dressing aid all over shoulders/arms this time
- Trim nails! Snagged two holes trying to adjust waistband
- Slow the heck down – 20 min just to get ankles through
Got sweaty palms from nervousness doing zipper pull (scared it’d break). Heart pounding when zipper teeth finally caught right at the neck.
Surprising Fit & Discomfort
Looked in mirror – shock! The matte nude actually blended with my skin tone like camouflage fabric. But wow did it feel weird – tight everywhere but armpits sagging strangely. Sitting? Impossible. Plastic chair stuck to butt when I stood up like velcro.
Styling Attempts
Threw on denim jacket over it – better! Added chunky silver necklace but metal clasp kept chilling my neck. Finally settled with:
- Big fuzzy purple cardigan (hid armpit weirdness)
- Oversized vintage band tee cut off at waist
- White platform sneakers (walked like duck)
Instant relief covering 60% of the latex honestly. Outfit worked for quick grocery run – got three compliments but zero breathability. Sweat pooling behind knees felt gross.
Practical Reality Check
Couldn’t wait to peel it off. Dressing aid turned sticky during wear – removing it took serious wiggling while showering in cold water (warm makes odor worse). Afterwards treated with Vivishine spray but honestly? Doubt I’ll wear full suit again unless cosplaying. Learned:
-
True takeaways:
- Partial latex pieces (skirts/tops) way more practical
- Nude only works if EXACT skin match (mine was too pink)
- Budget $30 for dressing aids before buying gear
Still glad I tried – made me appreciate fabrics that actually breathe. Experiment success? Meh. But that purple cardigan now lives permanently near latex drawer for damage control.
