A Latex Question

14 Nov 2008

Okay, venturing into previously unchartered sex-clothes shopping... need some advice from my esteemed SH colleagues.
Latex: is it any good for the larger lady?
What I guess I mean is, where can I purchase latex clothing for the more ample figure?
Oh and does it suit? What would one suggest for a first time latex buyer?

hell yeh! i have seen lots of hot latex clothing for curvy gals, fraid i can't help with where to shop being a size 10-12, but i would be more than happy to helo with any vewings just to make sure said latex is fitting properly.....

Depends on the quality of it I find - some of it is cheaper an thinner, therefore could be torn more easily.
Some Latex also shows all the lumps an bumps - I never felt comfortable with that.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking anais... Hmmmm, maybe I should play it safe and go for gloves or summat.

Try . Their stuffs pretty good and made on the premises so they can sort any problems. They are quite expensive though.

Please, don't be put off by my thoughts - I just didn't feel comfy with all my bumps showing and it was the cheaper stuff you can get. There is better quality and thicker that may not do that.
Why don't you do as Maz suggests - go to a good fetish shop and try it on. Take a good mate, and the shoes/boots your thinking of wearing with it. Have a walk around the shop wearing all ya gear - see how it feels, how you feels, how ya look, ask ya mate for an honest opinion.

Nola there is a shop and website based in plymouth called westward bound. They do lovely latex and pvc wear and most styles are up to a size 24. Some of the uniforms would probably be more flattering than a catsuit on us more voluptuous babes!!

They're real friendly too, if you can mail them some measurements they'll be able to help you out no problem.
Plus they have some very sexy stuff!! :twisted:

Nola, if you fancy a girly shopping day, I can take you to Cathouse :twisted: It is fairly expensive, but I went the other week with a friend and she got some gorgeous latex skirts. She's a self confessed curvy girl, and I have to say, they all look gorgeous on her hwoar:
Oh, and I can highly recommend latex gloves too!! Not something I thought would appeal, but if he's wearing them.... oh my word! :twisted: :twisted: (Apparently it's even better if he puts them on inside out... I'll let you know once I've tried that ;))

Ooooh, now the shopping trip sounds fun. Might have to be a new year jaunt when I've got some dosh. Defo up for that though. Cheers! :thumbup:
Latex gloves huh? I was thinking of getting some for me, but now I'm intrigued... they may have to be on his Christmas list!

The stuff you'll see from honour, libidex, cathouse etc is all tailored latex...i.e they make patterns and glue it all together to make the garment....it's not only the latex which is of much higher quality, but the fit will be much better.
The stuff you see in "sex shops" is where they've got a bit production line that spits out stuff by the bucket load, they (generally) use very nasty rubber and you'll almost certainly be dissapointed.
Tailored latex costs a lot more....but it's sooooooo much better! :rascal:

Bloomin' expensive though! :shock:

nola, I feel that I should offer my assistance.
Not in the shopping or anything as I loathe that... but helping you practice the sexual positions you could manage whilst wearing the garments that you choose. I know you won't get many offers with the particular dirty task, but for you I am willing. rolleyes

Erm

So, that's a naughty shopping trip with AngelChat and then a practice run with splendid.
Why oh why did I not discover latex before?! :doh:

No more advice needed.

One other thing.....
...chlorinated latex...you can chlorinate your own latex with if you take a trip down to your local hardware store for supplies! (it's not a pleasant process cause it involves chlorine gas, but it's oh so worth it! :twisted smile

The advantage is that it's super smooth all the time, goes on without any need for lube or talc...
