latex

I read somewhere that latex shouldn't be worn with leather. Is this true and if it is, why?

Thanks

Partly this is fashionsita bullshit, I think. But leather is usually dressed with oils that will deteriorate latex if they come in contact.

Thank you.
 
janey is, quite literally, deathly allergic to latex. As in: if she breathes in the airborn powder from latex gloves, unless we have an epi-pen in the house she's going to the ER because she WILL go into anaphylactic shock. It WILL close her windpipe and stop her breathing.

She found out she had the allergy when she was in an auto accident and they intubated her.

With a tube handled by latex glove clad ER personnel. Guess who HAD to have the tube stay in place until they could get her pumped full of enough anti-histamine and adrenaline to burn the allergic reaction out of her system. Uh HUH... nearly dying is a loverly way to find out you're allergic to the stuff.

Janey is the reason the chemistry and biology labs at the University of South Carolina are now latex free and all nitrile... She walked in to a lab as a couple of clowns were popping gloves, turned around and went straight to the Deans office... and said something to the effect of "If the latex gloves aren't removed from the labs by tomorrow, and I go into a lab and have a reaction to my latex allergy, I'll OWN the Biology Department to USC. You're supposed to be latex free, damn using current inventory and replacing it when it runs out. If I die, my fiance has instructions to file a wrongful death lawsuit, and HE will own the Biology Department instead. Capisce?"

They were all nitrile gloves next time she walked into a lab.

Skin exposure isn't quite so bad for her, it simply causes rashing/blistering of the skin, kinda like getting burned. She has permanent irritation marks/scars from the elastic in her bras and panties. It's not fun. We have to make sure our bandages are latex free, clothes are as latex free as we can get, we have a latex free household as much as I can make it so.

Which is a pisser at Halloween because I used to like to costume up and do character make up and latex prostheses and special effects stuff... *sighs* Can't do any of that now and hang around with janey.

And latex outfits ARE hot. To look at as well as trapping body heat.

Isn't sad that with all the people who are developing allergies to the stuff so many public areas are still using them. At the university I attend our chemistry department has gone completely latex free, however (as I recently discovered in my immunology lab) the biology department has not. Doesn't make much sense to me but I don't pull much weight in the biology department.

As a side note, I am not allergic to latex, and would LOVE some latex clothes!!!
 
God, I hate latex clothing. Just thinking about it makes me irritable and belligerent, in a "GET THIS CRAP THE FUCK OFF OF ME!" kind of a way.

I actually wanted to wear a latex catsuit once (as part of a Batman costume), because I thought the look would be much cooler than any alternatives. But I couldn't stand to keep the damn thing on. I honestly don't know how anyone can stand to feel contained that way.

And don't even get me started on vacuum bags, hoods, etc. Holy shit.

Has anyone met a claustrophic person who can stand the sight of this stuff? I can't, and haven't.

I like the part where she rips it off. Not because her tits pop out, but because I can totally relate to the urge to scream: DIE LATEX, DIE!

Uuum, Netz, somehow the thought of my mom's foundation garments from back in the day totally takes the hitch out of my giddyup.
Shank posted this photo on his Sneak a Peek thread last year. I had to ask him what it was, because I've never dated a woman into the retro thing before.

The answer is apparently: a girdle. To me, it looks a very large and uncomfortable chastity device!

I also would have said it'd be great for mild humiliation play, but clearly that would depend on the bottom.

Like everything else, the point, purpose, and appeal of undergarments is clearly in the head of the wearer and eye of the beholder - or rather, a combination of the two.

I was sorta of thinking....how cool it would be, to be the one ripping it off... roughly. ;)

M is slightly claustro, but also loves to be in bondage, as long as it's not all over his head, and even then I can get away with partially covering that in the form of blindfolding and wrapping just not over the nose/mouth.

But I can see why the strong tactile allure for some is a total zero for others. Now we'd know how to really punish you if you were into that kind of thing, huh?

I use something like that, only it's a body suit, altogether (that there's a long legged panty girdle if you want to avoid them - I heart retro and that's not my look, normally) and a corset on my sissy for event-length or evening length feelings of chastity. We've never had the peeing issue come up, but I know how I'd handle it, probably.

Bleh... not what I mean when I say retro girdles. That one's a long leg (Dollhouse normally carries a lot of gorgeous vintage lingerie/new reproductions; I think she has a physical location in San Francisco now)

When I say 'vintage foundation garments', it leans towards 50's burlesque/Cat on a Hot Tin Roof/classic 30s silks/campy chiffon baby doll nighties. Waaaaay different than the whole long leg girdle thing. *shudder*

Oh - an all girdles should be open bottom with 6 trolly garters for easy access. It's just *wrong* otherwise. (personal opinion)

What do we have here?

Seems like a bit of work though, they recommend 3 coats, but could be interesting fun.

I have this thing about peeling skin off of a healing sunburn....

This looks way more fun! I bet it feels good coming off the skin too.

You never know when info's gonna come in handy. ;)

I pay attention.... as I'm sure you do, too!

I've done that sort of thing before, only I just did my top. I felt like I couldn't breath!

I did a test patch just like they sujest on the package and was fine, but once I got 3 coats on my top, the itching started. :rolleyes: Yeah, I didn't wear it out, I ripped that baby off like I was dieing!

Perhpas that is what the lady in the pics are doing too...lol

I don't know, seems to me it would require some serious artistic endeavors and some patience.

It does say when you read it that itching will be a part of the process. More like fun fantasy rather than chic realism.
 
I've done that liquid latex thing too. We found it very interesting.
 
i used to have a fantasy where I'd go to a play party, strip down and my dom would have people paint me with latex paints.

used to.

now I'd have to change it to tempura paints. I'm badly allergic to latex.

What did it feel like? What did you like the most about it? What were some of the things you didn't like?

Did you honestly think you were going to get a pass?

Ties you to a chair and puts a light on you....come now fess up tell RJ all your dirty little secrets.

*puts a spur into a chest of hot coals.....

Of course you can resist if you want....

:cool:
