FAQs

Is latex resistant to chlorine and salt water?

No, chlorine and salt are highly damaging to latex. Both chlorine (found in pools) and salt water accelerate the degradation of latex, causing it to become sticky, brittle, and dull prematurely. Latex swimwear should be used sparingly in treated water. Immediate, thorough rinsing with clean, fresh water after any exposure is mandatory.

Which dressing aid is best for applying latex swimwear?

The "Wet Dressing" method (Lube & Water). Since swimwear is usually applied to the body while it is damp or is meant to get wet, the best technique is to mix a small amount of silicone dressing aid (lube) with water in a basin and immerse the swimwear. The resulting slippery film allows the suit to slide onto the wet skin easily.

How can I prevent my long fingernails from tearing the material around the delicate leg and bust openings?

Use only the soft pad of your fingers and extreme care. Latex is delicate, especially when wet or stressed. Always use the flat, soft pad of your fingers to gently pull the openings over your body. Never use your nails to pull the edges, as this is the primary cause of small, irreversible tears.

What is the most critical rule for cleaning and storing latex swimwear?

Immediate, thorough rinsing in fresh water, followed by immediate drying. Due to chemical exposure (sunscreen, chlorine, salt), swimwear must be hand-washed immediately in lukewarm, clean water with mild latex soap. It must then be 100% dried inside and out (away from sunlight) before storing it flat in an opaque bag.
