Latex rubber is used in many types of clothing.

Rubber has traditionally been used in protective clothing, including gas masks and Wellington boots. Rubber is now generally being replaced in these application by plastics. Mackintoshes have traditionally been made from rubberized cloth.

Latex rubber as a clothing material is common in fetish fashion and among BDSM practitioners, and is often seen worn at fetish clubs. Latex is sometimes also used by couturiers for its dramatic appearance. Worn on the body it tends to be skin-tight, producing a "second skin" effect. It is also a lot more shiny than the more matte rubber. There are several magazines dedicated to the use and wearing of it.

Latex clothing

Latex can be used to make leotards, bodysuits, stockings and gloves. Latex is also often used to make specialist fetishistic garments like hoods and rubber cloaks.

Latex clothing is generally made from large sheets of latex which are delivered in rolls. The "classic" colour for fetishistic latex clothing is black, but latex is naturally translucent, and may be dyed any colour, including metallic shades or white. Instead of being sewn, latex clothing is generally glued along its seams.

Because latex sheet is relatively weak, latex clothing needs special care to avoid tearing. Whilst latex can be repaired using materials similar to those provided in a bicycle repair kit, the result is rarely as attractive as the original appearance of the garment.

Latex clothing is often polished to preserve and improve its shiny appearance.

Putting on latex clothing can be difficult, because latex has high friction against dry skin. To make it easier to put on, wearers often use talc to reduce friction against the skin when putting the clothes on, and then, because stray talc is very visible against the rubber, will polish off any visible talc.

Latex may also be painted directly onto the body as liquid latex, which is also sometimes used to close seams in the creation of latex clothing. Removal of full a body liquid latex garment can result in a lot of hair removal as well. It is important to prepare all contacted skin carefully before-hand to avoid this 'hair wax' scenario. [1]

Pop culture references

Warriors and spies

It is suggested in various TV and media that the "second skin" effect of latex has a useful function as being very useful in minimising the size of a person for stealth, the lack of possible noises from moving parts of fabric (as for example, a jacket and combats) and that it makes movement less restrictive.

  • Selene, assassin and vampire in the films Underworld and Underworld 2 (played by Kate Beckinsale) wears a shiny skintight latex catsuit to the exclusion of all else.
  • Sam Fisher in the computer game series Splinter Cell (and upcoming film based on the former) wears a skintight rubber-looking bodysuit that has been described by critics as a "rubber perv suit".[2]
  • Catwoman (played by Michelle Pfeiffer in the film Batman Returns) is often shown wearing a skintight latex (or PVC) bodysuit (along with using a whip, producing a Dominatrix-like image overall). Upcoming film Catwoman: CopyCat[3] uses an entirely-latex costume.
  • One of the private detective/spy-like "angels" in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is shown at the start of the film infiltrating a building by cutting the window glass while wearing a skintight catsuit of metallic silver-coloured latex.
