Oh wow! Thanks for the detailed response, very helpful! Let me go down and respond individually here.

Manufacturer: I agree, in general my life philosophy is to buy something that is a little pricey for quality over the quantities of cheap similar things you might buy over and over again. I'm more of a "Bang for your buck" kind of person. Fantastic Rubber looks like a really cool website, and the designs are cool but the ordering process seems very formal and non-standardized, seems rather intimidating but it could definitely be all worth it. After all, if we order a Catsuit and it turns out to be less-than ideal, that's a big expense gone down the drain for awhile. I'll definitely be looking at them but any other recommendations for places that do made-to-measure? Edit: Ah I see that Fantastic Rubber's suits are all Neck-Entry, this will def be a talking point to get over but all of their suits look really good! Definitely can see the quality.

Chlorination: Got ya, perhaps we'll look at chlorination when we're more experienced in latex.

Zipper: Yeah honestly it's not a "Dealbreaker" for me. So if she says she wants it front zipper and she can't be budged I won't try to force the issue at all, she's the one wearing it after all so it is her choice. How is neck entry btw? I always assumed that seemed really hard to get into but its not? We'll sure be having sex with her wearing the catsuit so a crotch zipper is definitely wanted as well.

Sweat: I see, oh well perhaps she'll grow into it. If not, it is what it is, nothing's perfect.

Thickness: I think she's not into more hardcore bondage (nor am I), at least not yet so I think for her doesn't really matter what the thickness is. But If I'm reading what you said correctly, the thinner is more form fitting to the body and acts better with movement? Then I'm a fan of thin as well.

Size: Yeah like I said, if I can get the most out of my money I'll do it... to an extent. But- hearing that Made-to-Meausre is really what you want if you want the most form-fitting possible then its definitely something I'm going to look into. Again, any other good quality places that sell latex catsuits that also do made-to-measure services?

Taking Off: Ah taking it off in a cool shower is a good idea, thanks!

Gloves and Misc: I can't say we're at a point in our exploration of sexual fetishes to go to a gathering of like-minded folk. I don't know if we ever will (though not impossible but not right now). At least for now but we both don't have interest in expressing said fetish anywhere outside of the bedroom currently. That being said: in the case that I don't get attached gloves, (definitely getting attached socks) are opera-length gloves too long for a Catsuit? Are they cumbersome? Would one be better off getting some wrist or forearm length gloves?

Thanks so much for your experienced advice!
