How to Care for a Latex Bodysuit

Why Proper Care Matters

Latex is a natural material that looks stunning when polished, but it also requires special care. With the right routine, your latex bodysuit can stay glossy, flexible, and comfortable for years. Without proper care, it may lose its shine, tear more easily, or stick together.

Step 1: Cleaning After Each Wear

• Rinse with lukewarm water.

• Add a drop of mild, fragrance-free soap if needed.

• Avoid oils, solvents, or harsh detergents.

• Turn the bodysuit inside out and gently wash both sides.

👉 Tip: Never use hot water—it can damage the latex.

Step 2: Drying Safely

• Pat dry with a soft towel.

• Hang the bodysuit away from direct sunlight or heat sources.

• Ensure both inside and outside are fully dry before storing.

Step 3: Shining Your Latex

Latex looks best when polished. To bring out that glossy look:

• Apply a silicone-based shiner or spray evenly.

• Use your hands or a soft cloth to spread the product.

• Avoid oil-based products (baby oil, body lotion), as they weaken latex.

Step 4: Storage Tips

• Store flat, not folded, to avoid permanent creases.

• Keep in a cool, dark place away from sunlight and heat.

• Place the bodysuit in a garment bag or wrap in tissue paper.

• Keep away from metals and sharp objects—they may leave marks.

Step 5: Dressing Made Easier

Latex can be tight to put on. Use:

• Talc powder or

• Silicone-based dressing aid

  to make dressing smoother and protect the seams.
