Wearing a latex costume can be tricky if you don’t know how to put it on correctly. A latex costume, especially one that is a full bodysuit, can be very tricky to put on properly, and even more so if it’s your first time wearing one. This blog was made to help you get into your suit as quickly and easily as possible.
The first thing you’ll need is lube. We recommend using our own lube for the best results, but any water-based lube will do. You’ll also need a pair of scissors, which we sell at our store for $5.00 (USD).
The next step is to cut a hole in the crotch of the suit. This is where most people make their first mistake – they cut too small of a hole! You want to leave enough space so that you can fit your entire hand into the hole comfortably; this should take up about half of the crotch area. If you’re not sure how big to make it, try putting your hand inside before cutting anything off!
To properly put on the suit: Lay down on your back with legs spread apart and knees bent upward; this position makes it easy for you to pull up over your hips without having trouble breathing or hurting
I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately on how to properly put on a latex costume, so I figured I’d do a blog post about it.
Latex is a very tricky material to work with and putting on a latex costume can be very difficult if you don’t know what you’re doing. If you pull too hard, you can rip the costume. If you don’t powder it enough, it will stick to itself and make it impossible to get back off. Here are some tips that have helped me:
1. Start by putting powder all over the costume. Make sure to cover all of it! Latex is sticky and will stick to itself if you don’t powder it enough.
2. Next comes the tricky part: putting it on. Start by making sure your hands are powdered – the last thing you want is for the gloves or sleeves to stick to your hands when you’re trying to put them on!
3. Pull the costume up slowly, but firmly. It’s gonna feel really tight and uncomfortable but once it starts going on, just go slow and keep pulling until you get where you need to be!
4. Once everything is on, make sure there aren’t any tears or anything else that needs fixing before wearing your new
Latex costumes are amazing! Whether you have a favourite superhero, or a character from movies, games and anime, there’s a latex costume out there that will let you become your dream character.
The thing about latex is that it is perfect for making cosplay costumes because it is stretchy, it breathes, and it can be painted to create incredibly realistic looks.
There’s just one downside…
It can be difficult to get into your latex costume.
That’s why here at Deku Latex Mask we’ve made a guide to help you with the process of properly putting on your costume. Follow these steps for a hassle-free experience!
So you bought a latex costume or suit and now you’re not sure how to put it on properly? Here’s a quick guide.
1. Make sure the costume is on a flat surface or hanger away from any sharp objects.
2. Begin by putting on your undergarments: tights, long sleeve shirt, long pants, etc. (whatever you would normally wear under your latex).
3. If it has feet built in, then slide those on and make sure they are tucked in all the way so they don’t get pinched when you pull the rest of the suit up over them.
4. If it has mittens built in, then put those on (unless you want to wear gloves).
5. If it is a full body suit with a hood, then put the hood on and zip up the back zipper as far as possible. Put one arm in at a time and work your way into the suit until it’s fully zipped up the back.
6. If it is a jacket or pants, then pull them on one at a time and zip them up completely.
7. Use talcum powder or silicon lubricant to help take them off easier when you’re done wearing them.”
So you’ve got your latex costume/mask and you want to know how to get it on, this is the place for you. This is how I go about preparing a costume before putting it on.
1. Use talcum powder.
2. Put it on slowly, don’t just force it on in one go, take your time and make sure you don’t get any air bubbles in the latex.
A latex costume must be washed every time it is worn. In order to properly wash a latex costume, make sure you have a soft sponge or cloth and warm water. Gently wipe the garment all over with the sponge or cloth, gently scrubbing away any dirt, sweat or makeup marks. Do not use any type of soap as this will damage the surface of the latex and cause the garment to become discoloured and sticky.
To dry your latex costume, gently lift it away from your body and allow it to dry naturally in open air. If you need to speed up the drying process, use a hairdryer on a low setting. Do not dry under direct sunlight as this will damage the latex.
Never pack away a wet or damp costume as this may cause mould to form on the garment. Mould can easily spread to other latex costumes and can be very difficult to remove once formed.
