Latex is made to be polished. Not only does polish protect latex from sun damage, but the polish is what gives the latex that beautiful shine we all love so much. Our latex DOES NOT come pre-polished. (It comes powdered to protect the print). You can purchase "polish latex garment" for $7.50 at check out. You can also purchase a 2 ounce bottle of latex polish at checkout for $15. We are not responsible for damaged latex due to lack of polish. We will not re-post your photo if your latex is not polished. Please be mindful that we are here to shine !!! If you do not purchase "polish latex garment" or travel latex polish, please don't expect your garment to be shiny. 

Due to our latex being 100% custom, made to order: All Sales Are Final. We are not responsible to fix your damaged latex due to lack of latex care. We include our very meticulous & clear latex care instructions in every shipment. It is very important that customers read and follow these latex care instructions. We are not responsible for replacing latex that gets damaged due to lack of reading & adhering to our latex care instructions. 

Keep your latex, especially your printed latex, powdered or lubed with silicone based polish only at all times to protect the print and latex !!! 

Avoid any type of friction while wearing latex, especially printed latex. For example, don't sit on a concrete street or lean against a brick wall. The friction can cause holes & unnecessary wear.

We powder our latex during shipping to protect the prints. Please wipe all powder off with a warm wet cloth before applying silicone based lube only.

Lube yourself with silicone based lubricant before putting on your latex. Latex is made from rubber, so just like putting on a condom, you have to glide your latex on with lube. Put some lube on both your skin AND the latex for maximum glide and snug fit.

Wash your latex off after use with generous amounts of luke warm water & dish soap, preferably in a shower/tub situation. Make sure your latex dries completely and isn’t wet on the inside, as the moisture will cause the latex to stick to itself. Make sure to dry completely, as the latex will be spotty if not completely dry. Dry with a fan when possible. 

If latex remains wet, it will mold. Once it molds, it does not unmold. Do not wrinkle your latex. Once it wrinkles, it does not unwrinkle. Do not shove wet latex in a plastic bag. It will mold. Do not shove latex in a plastic bag. It will wrinkle and will not unwrinkle. Once latex is completely dry, hang on a hanger in a dark closet out of the sun. 

Sunlight destroys latex. Keep out of the sun and store in a cool, dry place.

Dark latex stains light latex, especially white latex. Keep them away from each other.

Metals stain latex. Keep them away.

Alcohol based liquids deteriorate latex, especially printed latex. Keep away from perfumes, nail polish remover & room sprays; essentially ANYTHING alcohol based.

Keep prints and hand painting details powdered or lubed, as it will stick to itself when dry.
