Getting the most out of your rubber wear

It’s normal for your rubber wear to arrive looking dull, in order to achieve a deep shine and prolong the life of your rubber wear we recommend that you follow the advice below.

1. Apply talcum powder or one of the available dressing aids on the inside of your garment or directly to your skin before attempting to put it on. Vividress or Pjur is perfect to assist you into your latex garment, which is available from our website.
2. Wipe off any excess talc on the outside of the garment with a clean damp cloth, rinse cloth and repeat process until all the talcum powder has been removed. If using Vividress or Pjur rub any excess over the garment, either using your hands or buff up with a soft damp cloth or sponge.
