Mmmm rubber - how I love thee!!
My love affair actually started about five years ago - before that it was just a crush... I loved black and shiny but had no idea how much better the latex looked and felt compared to the PVC that I had been wearing for many years.
I was at a fetish event dressed in my favourite uniform when I walked in the club. He was standing by the bar dressed head to toe in a latex catsuit. It was shiny and black and fit him like a second skin. We did get the chance to chat for a bit and the urge to touch his well muscled body was almost overwhelming! He had me hooked!
The look, the feel of it either next to your own skin or being able to touch it on someone else... The smell is intoxicating! Those of you who love your leather - its the same experience for rubber. I have worn leather out to many events though and it is not as intimate or erotic as rubber. People are drawn to the stuff and want to touch it - to get that tactile sensation of what it feels like. I had to get used to being touched and caressed by complete strangers! Now it is second nature.
Ahhh but I digress...
Over the past few years that I have been playing and going out in rubber I have learned the difference in thickness and quality that designers offer for sale. I've learned to look at the seam quality as there is nothing more heart breaking than having your favourite outfit torn beyond repair!
Blackstyle of Germany screams quality! The wonderful folks at Blackstyle popped one of their classic catsuits in the post for me to review.
Every Rubberist, whether male or female should have one of these in their rubber closet. It goes with everything. Add socks, gloves and a hood and you have total enclosure. Sexy boots and a waist cincher and you have clubwear. One of the most versatile pieces you will ever own.
Blackstyle offers many styles and colors for their catsuits. They are .35mm. The quality of latex is absolutely beautiful - it takes very little shine to make the latex gleam! The inside of the latex is etched to make it easier to get the outfits off and on. The three way zipper goes from crotch to the back of the neck to offer easy access at play time. The seams throughout the catsuit are perfect - no wrinkles or bubbles. The edges are all rolled and finished.
For you ladies that are well-endowed such as myself, I am happy to say that there are darts to accommodate your larger chests!
Lets just say it looks hot! My playmate was speechless.
So all you Rubberists - go and give Blackstyle a look. They are nice folks to work with and their shipping is super fast!
The English might not be that great - but the latex sure is! Slick Chic of Germany makes high grade SEWN latex fashion.
Slick Chic has been producing fashions for the past 20 years. The latex material is a German product and is exclusively manufactured for Slick Chic The material is 0.7mm and glides on WITHOUT powder or lube! Care instructions on the website state that the clothing is machine washable in warm water. (Gentle cycle)
Slick Chic sent us their military shirt for review.
It is actually hard to describe the texture of this product - the samples that they sent along look like any other latex product - but when you have a piece of clothing in your hands it is distinctly different! Both sides of the latex are silky. The shiny side is evident and can be polished like any other latex but the inside is also silky and doesn't grab skin - no lube or powder needed to slide into it!
The clothing they make is perfect for the rubberist who would like to have the latex for everyday wear. Shine it up for going out to a fetish event - or leave it dull for just going out shopping.
The seams on the clothing are phenomenal! High quality and very carefully stitched.
For the heavy rubber bondage enthusiasts - Slick Chic can take care of your needs in that department as well. They also produce restraints, body bags, etc.
The website is mostly in German - if you need any assistance navigating - the staff is more than willing to help you out if you just fire off an email to them.
So even if you are a die-hard, skin tight rubberist - give Slick Chic a look - you just might like them!
The perfect way to finish off any rubber outfit, Stockroom has the perfect accessories; the black latex wrist gloves.
They have three different lengths available. All are seamless and imported from London.
I have searched high and low for good quality wrist length gloves to finish off my Nazi fetish uniform... I have come up with some incredibly good crap throughout the years! Most of the latex that the adult shops try to sling to the public are very low quality and very thin latex. If you take a good close look at them and hold them up to the light you can see through them. Not cool! Especially considering how expensive latex is to buy - one use for gloves is just not economical.
The search is over!
Stockroom for the same price as your local adult store, has their latex line. These are good quality molded latex gloves with no in-between-finger imperfections. Lube them up with your favourite latex dressing aid (which Stockroom also carries), slide them on and shine them up!
The folks at Stockroom further indulged my latex fetish by sending me the shoulder length red latex gloves as well.
These finish off a lovely full length red hobble gown that has been sitting in my closet forever because it just needed something. Outfit complete.
Again from the same latex supplier for Stockroom the same quality experience as the wrist gloves.
Lube is not an option with these - it is a MUST. Back when I started wearing latex talc was what I started with - use the lube! Much easier, much less mess! Talc is for storage, not for dressing. The silicone will condition your favourite latex items and make them last longer as well.
