Rubber has traditionally been used in protective clothing, including Gas Mask s and Wellington Boot s. Rubber is now generally being replaced in these application by plastics. Mackintosh es have traditionally been made from rubberized Cloth . Latex rubber as a clothing material is common in Fetish Fashion and among BDSM practitioners, and is often seen worn at Fetish Club s. Latex is sometimes also used by Couturier s for its dramatic appearance. Worn on the body it tends to be Skin-tight , producing a " Second Skin " effect. It is also a lot more shiny than the more matte rubber. There are several magazines dedicated to the use and wearing of it. LATEX CLOTHING Latex can be used to make Leotard s, Bodysuit s, Stocking s and Glove s. Latex is also often used to make specialist fetishistic garments like hoods and rubber cloaks. Latex clothing is generally made from large sheets of latex which are delivered in rolls. The "classic" colour for fetishistic latex clothing is black, but latex is naturally translucent, and may be dyed any colour, including metallic shades or white. Instead of being sewn, latex clothing is generally glued along its seams. Because latex sheet is relatively weak, latex clothing needs special care to avoid tearing. Whilst latex can be repaired using materials similar to those provided in a bicycle repair kit, the result is rarely as attractive as the original appearance of the garment. Latex clothing is often polished to preserve and improve its shiny appearance. Putting on latex clothing can be difficult, because latex has high friction against dry skin. To make it easier to put on, wearers often use Talc to reduce friction against the skin when putting the clothes on, and then, because stray talc is very visible against the rubber, will polish off any visible talc. Latex may also be painted directly onto the body as liquid latex, which is also sometimes used to close seams in the creation of latex clothing. Removal of a full-body liquid latex garment can result in a lot of hair removal as well. It is important to prepare all contacted skin carefully before-hand to avoid this 'hair wax' scenario. {Link without Title} POP CULTURE REFERENCES Warriors and spies It is suggested in various TV and media that the "second skin" effect of latex has a useful function as being very useful in minimising the size of a person for stealth, the lack of possible noises from moving parts of fabric (as for example, a jacket and combats) and that it makes movement less restrictive.
