So on my previous post I received a comment by user anothercatgirl who proposed that fewer stripes might be better.

Well I took that to the extreme and got some latex socks without any stripes. Perhaps this will make me even better at programming!

That aside, I just love how the light of the displays reflect on the oiled latex thigh high socks.

I might post a naughtier pic on my fetlife profile and on reddit in the future (same username) :)

do you mean LaTeX?

[–] Nomad@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

This bit is tripping me out and I keep staring.

I suddenly really want some latex thigh highs

Where'd you get yours? Anything a total newbie to latex should know?

I got them from a webshop in my country, because I couldn't be bothered to wait a long time to get them custom made. It's risky though because you won't know the quality if you don't buy from a reputable seller.

Check out this site for info: https://www.wearlatex.com/latex-guide/

Is this your first bit of rubber? Funny how wearing it for a while, you kind of forget it's on. I love the second-skin feeling.

Yep though the size of the feet is a bit too small so I can't wear it for too long. Guess I will have to get it made to measure.

I also bought a latex hooded swing dress which is made to measure, as well as some latex pants. I still need to upload those photos and videos.

I also got some dimethicone 100cst because the other silocone lube I was using evaporated too quickly.

I'm thinking of buying a catsuit and some long gloves and some other dresses next.

I use an actual dressing aid, there's a recipe from reddit I've been meaning to try but buying a tube is easy for now:

PROPORTION RATIO 
0.653 DIMETHICONE
0.327 CYCLOMETHICONE
0.020 PHENYL TRIMETHICONE

Once the latex is on, your sweat will do the rest 😎

If you get new socks, try out chlorination. I haven't yet, but people seem to like it.

[–] wetsuiterest@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah I was thinking of making a mix, though pure dimethicone also works fine and doesn't evaporate. I don't mind the lubed up feel, it's a bit hard to not use too much though. Also I think for these mixes, the viscosity of the ingredients matters a lot.

The store I bought from doesn't do chlorination and it's a bit too dangerous for me to do it myself.

[–] myotherself@lemmings.world 1 points 9 months ago

If you get new socks, try out chlorination

Chlorinated latex is great for casual wear because you don't need dressing aid, but it feels and smells different than unchlorinated latex and if you want it shiny, you still need to apply silicone oil on the outside (although the dull surface can look great, too).

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

WOAH spicy. Too spicy for me, sorry..

Also, isn't it crazy much work to get these on?

[–] wetsuiterest@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

Yes you first have to hand wash them with some soap, then put some silicone lube on the inside, put then on and try to get all the air out, then shine up the outside, and then be careful you don't fall cus now everything is slippery haha.

Then after wearing you got to wash and lube them again to store them.

Does that mean you'll do typesetting now?

[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

At what point do socks becomes stockings, though?

[–] wetsuiterest@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

Maybe stockings are just a specific type of sock? Same as knee high socks.

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 1 points 10 months ago

This is a nice shot. I mean, I guess I’ll have to go check out the fetlife ones to see more of this quality photography.

Also, I’m so salty that someone downvoted all the comments. I know I shouldn’t be but I am.

hot. Yo do you have any advice about fetlife? I have been thinking of making an account but I also read about many bad experiences that people had and got kinda spooked.
