FAQ

There is no reason on the material’s side to not be worn, it depends if you feel comfortable. We would recommend skin tight outfits, as the tendency of sweating is lower than with loose clothing, where there stays an insulating layer of air between your skin and the garment.

Yes, with caution — we recommend hand washing for delicate or high-value pieces (see our care guide for details), but:

• Use the gentlest cycle, not too hot water, minimal spin
• No harsh detergents — only latex-safe or mild soap
• Wash latex items on their own, no metal parts or sharp garments
• A mesh laundry bag helps protect the surface

It’s convenient, but not risk-free. Be gentle, and only machine-wash if you know what you’re doing.

Nope — we don’t offer chlorinated latex at this time.

Chlorination is a post-production treatment that smooths the surface of latex to make it easier to wear without oil or powder. But we choose not to do it.

Why?

Because we love the natural feel of untreated latex. Also, because chlorinated latex is harder to repair. And honestly? It’s just not our style.

That said, chlorinated latex can be a great option for people with mild sensitivities or who prefer that ultra-smooth surface. But there are some designers offering that service, if you need it.

For ready-to-wear clothing, check our Size Chart— it’s based on body measurements, not garment dimensions, so you get the right fit.

For custom or made-to-measure, you have three options:

1. Send us your measurements — we’ll guide you with a detailed how-to.
2. Visit our atelier in Leipzig and get measured in person.
3. Meet us on the road — we sometimes take appointments when we travel.

For high-end Once in a Lifetime pieces, we may request extra fittings or find other approaches —
whatever it takes to bring your vision to life.

Keep latex cool, dark, and separate.

Store your pieces away from sunlight or metal contact. Hanging works great (padded hangers, please!), or folded in black bags. You can also check out our guide, to see how to care for your latex the best way.

Latex isn’t like fabric — it doesn’t “flow” in the same way. It clings, stretches, and holds form, which makes it perfect for sculptural designs. But yes, you can create volume.

We use hidden structures, layering, and other tricks to give latex garments that floaty, dramatic silhouette. Most designs are body-near, but why not make it fluffy?

Want a soft shape or flowing feel? Just ask — we know how to make latex move like it shouldn’t be able to.

For regular orders, production usually takes 7 to 9 weeks.
If you’re in a rush, we offer Express production (3 to 4 weeks) for an additional fee.

Need color matching? That adds about a week for testing and drying time.

Here is the quick guide:

To dress easily:

• Use silicone oil or talcum powder on your skin and inside the garment
• Be gentle — stretch with care, not speed
• Avoid poking with long nails and sharp jewelry

To undress:

• Don’t pull or rush
• Loosen with oil or take a quick rinse in the shower

Make it part of the experience. Latex is sensual, not rushed.

Don’t panic — those aren’t permanent. Wet latex changes it’s color and therefore, in most cases, you need simply to further let it dry. If they are still there, they might be mineral spots from water or residue from soap or talc. Here’s how to fix it:

• Wipe gently with a clean towel
• Use a touch of silicone oil to remove the dullness
• Avoid air-drying latex in sunlight or over radiators — heat + water = marks

Want that glow back? A little oil and polish will do the trick.

Nope — latex doesn’t “wear out” like fabric. It won’t stretch out or shrink by itself.

However, poor storage, extreme heat, or overstretching when dressing can weaken the material. It also will weaken after some years and won’t last forever. But treat it with a little respect, and it’ll last a long time.
