  Yep though the size of the feet is a bit too small so I can’t wear it for too long. Guess I will have to get it made to measure.

  I also bought a latex hooded swing dress which is made to measure, as well as some latex pants. I still need to upload those photos and videos.

  I also got some dimethicone 100cst because the other silocone lube I was using evaporated too quickly.

    I use an actual dressing aid, there’s a recipe from reddit I’ve been meaning to try but buying a tube is easy for now:

    PROPORTION RATIO 
    0.653 DIMETHICONE
    0.327 CYCLOMETHICONE
    0.020 PHENYL TRIMETHICONE
    

    Once the latex is on, your sweat will do the rest 😎

      If you get new socks, try out chlorination

      Chlorinated latex is great for casual wear because you don’t need dressing aid, but it feels and smells different than unchlorinated latex and if you want it shiny, you still need to apply silicone oil on the outside (although the dull surface can look great, too).

      Yeah I was thinking of making a mix, though pure dimethicone also works fine and doesn’t evaporate. I don’t mind the lubed up feel, it’s a bit hard to not use too much though. Also I think for these mixes, the viscosity of the ingredients matters a lot.

      The store I bought from doesn’t do chlorination and it’s a bit too dangerous for me to do it myself.
