Latex and leather: fit and care

Latex and leather look effortless when they are worn well, and both reward a little knowledge about fit and care.

Latex

Latex wear needs a dressing aid to get into and a silicone-free shine to look right. Store it away from light, metal and anything copper, or it will stain and perish. Talc the inside before it goes away, every time. Browse latex wear at Power Play Studio.

Leather

Leather wear runs from full coats down to a single cuff, in real hide and convincing substitutes. Hide has almost no give once a seam is set, so measure rather than guess: a leather piece that is tight in the shop will still be tight in a year. Leather wants conditioning once or twice a year, and should be stored hanging rather than folded. See leather wear at Power Play Studio.

Chastity

Chastity removes the choice entirely, through cages, belts and locking rings. Base ring size decides everything: too tight bruises within an hour, too loose slips off. Most sets ship with three rings so you can find the fit before committing. See chastity devices at Power Play Studio.

Everything from Power Play Studio, the online BDSM and fetish store, ships in plain packaging with no indication of the contents or the sender.
