Keep your latex bodysuit looking sleek and lasting longer with this step-by-step care guide. Learn how to clean, dress, and store latex properly.

Quick Answer

To keep your latex bodysuit in top shape, always use a dressing aid to put it on, hand wash with mild soap and water, dry it away from direct sunlight, and store it flat in a cool, dark place.

Why Latex Needs Special Care

Latex is a natural material that's sensitive to oils, heat, and sunlight. Unlike fabric lingerie, latex can tear, lose its shine, or become sticky if not handled correctly. The good news is that with a few simple habits, your latex bodysuit can stay glossy and flexible for years.

Step-by-Step Latex Bodysuit Care

  1. Step 1: Use Dressing Aid Before Wearing: Apply a small amount of latex dressing aid to your skin or the inside of the bodysuit. This helps the latex glide on smoothly without tugging or tearing. Never use oil-based lubes—they can degrade the latex. Dressing aid is a must, not an optional extra.
  2. Step 2: Hand Wash After Each Wear: Fill a sink with lukewarm water and a few drops of mild, non-oily soap (like dish soap). Submerge the bodysuit and gently squeeze—do not rub or wring. Rinse thoroughly with cool water until all soap is gone. Avoid hot water and fabric softeners—they damage latex.
  3. Step 3: Dry Flat Away from Heat and Sun: Lay the bodysuit flat on a clean, dry towel. Pat away excess moisture, then let it air dry in a shaded, cool area. Never hang latex—it stretches out. Never use a dryer or radiator. Direct sunlight and heat make latex brittle and dull.
  4. Step 4: Restore Shine with Shining Spray: Once the bodysuit is completely dry, spray a light, even coat of latex shining spray onto the surface. Buff gently with a soft cloth for a high-gloss finish. This also protects the material from drying out. Shining spray is essential for that sleek, wet look.
  5. Step 5: Store Flat in a Cool, Dark Place: Fold the bodysuit loosely (avoid sharp creases) and place it in a sealed plastic bag or container. Keep away from heat sources, direct light, and metals (copper and silver can stain latex). Never store latex with other materials that may transfer color or oils.
