     Hello

    What is the difference between latex and pvc? Which one have other memebers found more comfortable to wear?

     Latex is like rubber, so imagine the inner tube of a bike tyre, but obviously thin and stretchy.  Normally I believe you also have to buff latex up with some spray to make it shiny.  PVC is more like a shiny coated material.  Not that I wear them myself but my lovely wife obliges me and I always get her PVC.  I have bought her latex in the past but PVC is. I think, that much easier to get on.  Very often because latex is clingy you need to dust down with talc to get it on, then of course their is the question of the body breathing and sweating.  I'm sure you'll get some opinions from those who actually wear the stuff as opposed to me who just enjoys the stuff.

     I think latex looks better but pvc is much more comfortable (IMO) and pvc is already super shiny without you having to put the work in :)

    Defo all about the latex. It fits everywhere perfectly, moves with you, doesn't crease and you get to throw lashings of silicone lube all over it. ^_^

     But it smells so bad!! I prefer PVC that fits just as well and although it creases, once on, its smooths out the creases. x

     Thank you for your advice everyone. I like the look of both, but PVC does sound more practical.

    Lovehoney - Hella, i see you've worn some LH stuff to work :-D

    latex all the way, (obviously) everything Hella says, you feel so sexy in it, second skin, the smell is half the fun and once you condition that thats the smell of "playtime" its such a turn on when you smell it!! quality is everything in latex, definatly pays off to buy good quality, i think pvc looks cheap but good latex just is crumptuous, so much tun putting on taking off, taking off in the shower, ooo i could go on and on!!

    I think you hit the nail on the head. Dont go for cheap latex. That said, i would love to try an outfit on, like you one you have on. Looks amazing. Did you buy it on lovehoney? if not, could you say where? x

     confession time,  its not me in the pic, a fully enclosed catsuit is next on my list (i wish i looked this good), best places for quality latex that are not thousands are libidex, westward bounds, rubber55, honour, house of harlot. Never buy the cheap stuff on ebay, libidex and westward bounds have ebay shops though x

    Gonna buy some latex for the wife for our 9th wedding Ann. Told her the modern gift for 9 years is leather or latex. Didn't think she would fall for that and seeing as she has leather shoes and bags etc I'm gonna buy her the latex dress with suspenders straps from lovehoney. Been trying to get her in latex for years. Can't wait. Gonna shine her up real good hehe;)

    I go for PVC for my Mrs as she has a latex allergy. This is something to be very careful of when buying latex - easiest way, as far as I know, to tell if you can withstand latex is to wear latex disposable gloves (my wife can't even touch them let alone wear them!)

    I agree that Latex is far nicer to look at, however PVC is still super sexy!

    Latex definitely looks sexy, and I'm sure it feels great too but I'm not sure my wife would want too much pre-playtime work!

    Have to go for latex - my fovourite purchase from LH was Latex briefs with attached sheath.............great feel and nothing hidden.....my OH gets really turned on when I wear them.........see my review.

    PVC is hot but there's something about the clinging way of latex that wins everytime
