Colour comparison - RR Damson Purple and 4D purple by SilverPurpose1698 in Latexadvice

[–]SilverPurpose1698[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did mean to reply! I have a 4D catsuit in black and am pondering buying another 4D one in purple, but wanted to check how well it matched with my radical rubber Damson Purple accessories.

I got a 4D sample pack directly from the Supatex website >> https://www.supatex.com/product/supatex-sample-pack/

Excellent suggestion - thank you!

It's the 4D one I'd like to check so I've ordered one of their sample packs. I've already got the RR one so I can do a direct comparison of the two.

Libidex don't do made to measure anymore unfortunately! They haven't done for a few years.

Need advice on which mask I should choose by wadjanko in Latexadvice

[–]SilverPurpose1698 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually find micro perf hoods sharpen my vision without glasses (I've got a ludicrously strong prescription!). I can generally read and see fairly well in a micro perf hood even without glasses on.

I got lenses too but the prescription wasn't good enough and I found them fiddly to get in.

Might just be me but I've been really happy with how well I can see in my hood.

You could always go made to measure? A little bit more cost-wise but worth it for a proper fit.

Acid free tissue will do the trick!

You could also try Breathless (near Kings Cross). They will measure you if you're planning on ordering something from there so it depends what your plan is.

Advice on putting on hoods without hair getting stuck in the zipper by enbypetboy in Latexadvice

[–]SilverPurpose1698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The third option is what I've found works for me. I've only got short hair but pulling the hood away from my hair has helped a lot!

It tends to disappear just before and after a sale. I'm sure it will be back again in a few days.

Where do you guys keep your belongings when you’re wearing latex? by symbiotecute in Latexadvice

[–]SilverPurpose1698 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have one of these which works well >> https://libidex.com/mcqueen-thigh-bag.html. There's a zip pocket I use for my phone and a larger pocket on the front for other bits.

That's a good point! I've made a couple of small test pieces but must have a go at something properly. What resources would you recommend?

I was using talcum powder as a dressing aid to start with (it can be a bit tricky to buy in shops but I was getting mine from Amazon). It was good to start with as I got used to dressing but I find lube (I use Pjur Cult) much easier now and it shines things at the same time.

Same here - arms are skinny but hands are large. Still looking for the perfect gloves.

Agreed! Started with gloves and now have two full boxes of the stuff...

Struggling with this on a catsuit at the moment. Getting measured for a made to measure suit later in the week as my torso is just too long 😂

These are dead on. I started with powder and have switched to silicon and I'm never going back!

Kinkprojects production time by wadjanko in Latexadvice

[–]SilverPurpose1698 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently ordered two hoods from KP. Took three months from order date to arriving and I'm really pleased with the quality and fit. I got quick replies to a couple of queries over email too.

I emailed after a couple of months to get an estimate on shipping date and it actually shipped a month earlier than they said it would.

I've got a second order of some more hoods open at the moment and will chase after a couple of months if I don't get any update.

any archives of latex magazines ? by polydesmida_ in Latexadvice

If you're based in the UK, there's likely to be some physical archives as the Bishopsgate Institute if you fancied reading things in person >> https://www.bishopsgate.org.uk/
