FAQs
How does chlorinated pool water or saltwater affect latex swimwear?
Chlorine and salt are highly damaging to latex. Chlorine and salt are corrosive agents that accelerate the degradation and drying of the rubber, making it brittle and dull. Immediate and thorough rinsing after swimming is absolutely mandatory to wash away all chemical traces and prolong the life of the garment.
Which dressing aid is best for putting on a latex swimsuit, especially when it's wet?
Silicone Lube is the best choice. Since swimwear is often donned when the skin is slightly damp, silicone-based dressing aid provides the necessary glide over the torso, hips, and shoulders. Avoid talcum powder, as it can cake when mixed with water and leave visible residue.
What should I avoid wearing or applying when in latex swimwear outdoors?
Sunscreen/Sun Oils and UV Light. Sunscreen and sun oils (especially those containing zinc oxide or certain hydrocarbons) cause severe, permanent chemical stains and degradation. Additionally, direct sun exposure (UV) rapidly degrades latex, causing it to become brittle and dull. Always apply sunscreen before dressing and avoid direct sunlight.
What is the most important cleaning step immediately after wearing latex swimwear?
Immediate, copious fresh water rinsing. Even if you didn't swim, sweat residue and body oils must be removed. Rinse the garment inside and out several times with cool, clean, fresh water to neutralize and flush away chlorine, salt, or body fluids. Then, proceed with a full mild soap wash.
