Women Latex Tops

Look for reinforced cups or high-thickness latex. Unlike fabric, thin latex ($0.4mm$ or less) provides minimal "lift." For better support, choose tops with underwires, molded cups, or those made from thicker latex ($0.6mm+$). If the top is a simple camisole, ensure the straps are wide enough to distribute the weight without digging into your shoulders.

Lubricate the shoulders and use the "roll" technique. The shoulders are the widest part and the most common place for tears. Apply silicone dressing aid heavily to your shoulders and the inside of the top. Slide your arms in first, then gently "roll" the material over your head. Avoid pulling from the neck edge, as the tension can cause the latex to snap.

Use a silicone-based lube and wash immediately. Latex is non-breathable, and sweat can become trapped, especially under the bust. A silicone dressing aid acts as a barrier to protect your skin. After wearing, you must wash the top immediately with mild soap to remove salts and oils from your sweat, which can rot the latex if left uncleaned.

Store flat or on wide-shouldered hangers. Delicate straps can stretch or snap if hung on thin wire hangers. Use a padded or wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape. For tops with lace or ruffles, place acid-free tissue paper between the folds to prevent the latex from sticking to itself or losing its intricate shape during storage.
