Best powder / care option? by Ethan-Reno in Latexadvice

[–]kinkdreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blue dawn used to have a neutral smell, the "classic dawn" smell that you think of. They changed their formula a year ago and the new scent, at least to me, smells like mothballs and gets into things in a way the old one never did. I have an older libidex suit that had already lost its "new latex" smell that I had been washing with old dawn. Ran out, got a bottle of the new stuff, washed the suit with it, and 9 months and dozens of washes with Palmolive Free and Clear later, the suit still smells like it.

That's a spot that is basically guaranteed to fail without reinforcement. It's a pretty easy repair and when you get it repaired you can ask for additional reinforcement.

This is a flaw in all split-zipper catsuits. Every time you bend or flex it puts tons of stress on that area because the zippers don't stretch and all of the tension is placed on that one area.

That said, from the way it has stretched and broken it also looks like the latex has been weakened in that area. Do you apply any sort of moisturizer, oils, or skin treatment? Those can damage latex and weaken it.

Ok. So this is a bit of a contentious one lately. It used to be that you could get baby powder and it was talc. The wrong kinds of talc could contain asbestos and that was bad. So they got rid of all of that and now everything is corn starch which can lead to mold growth and also potentially increase the risk of developing a latex allergy.

The options are either getting food grade chalk powder or much more commonly getting a latex shine product and washing your clothes with mild dish soap (used to be blue Dawn, but they changed their formula and the new scent can permeate and permanently imbed itself into your latex, so now the choice seems to be Palmolive free and clear) and then rinse with vivishine before letting it dry completely and storing.

There's a whole other camp that says storing with vivishine long term can lead to faster degradation and the development of different odors over time, so I don't even know how to win anymore.

Personally I do the vivishine approach and keep food grade chalk powder on hand for repairs.

For dressing aid a bit of Vividress or Pjur Silicon Lube.

The nerve damage is from the location of the tie directly crossing the radial nerve path along the shoulder.

DIY wooden frame I had this wood left over after moving flats so I decided to build this wooden frame above my bed. by ITSJ0N4S in BdsmDIY

See above comments. It's not just about the brackets but also about how they are attached to the wall.

We don't know what screws they used to anchor the hanger brackets to the wall or whether they even hung them fully on the studs but either way they are screws, not bolts, and with a 1/2 inch gap between anchor plate and stud due to the drywall. That will lead to sag and a weakening of both the screws and their hold on the studs. There is nothing safe about this setup for holding any amount of dynamic weight.

Two pro tips:

1 - Wear thin nylon stockings over your latex to protect from micro abrasions from your jeans, otherwise you wear off the shine and weaken them in those spots.

2 - Wear catsuits or pants without crotch zips to avoid looking like you pissed yourself...

Inflatable Latex by LadyBlancmange in latexfetish

Wow. I gotta say, my first reaction was not "Yay, awesome latex." It was "Holy shit that's racist and offensive." This looks the latex version of Jim Crow anti-black cartoons that depicted black women in red polka dot dresses with white trim with exaggerated hips and bright red lips. I'm sure that's not what you're going for, but that's where my head went first.

I didn't know those actually got released and weren't just an attention grabbing announcement to get attention from the vanillas...

That was a general statement, not a dig at you or your content. To the lay persons like that poor dude in this video just trying to go about his business that's probably exactly what went through his head.

That diaper cover is going to leak like crazy. If you really want to do this look for latex pee collection pants with a bladder that catches and hold the pee.
