Women's Latex Swimwear

Yes, but you must rinse it immediately after. Chlorine and sea salt are highly corrosive to latex and will cause it to lose elasticity and "rot" over time. As soon as you leave the water, rinse the swimwear thoroughly with fresh, clean water to remove all chemical and salt residues.

Yes, oil-based products are the "enemy" of latex. Most sunscreens and tanning oils contain oils that will permanently dissolve and weaken the latex material, making it sticky and ruined. Always use oil-free (water-based) sunscreen and wait for it to fully absorb into your skin before putting on your latex swimwear.

Use a high-quality 100% silicone shiner. Unlike water, which makes latex look dull, a silicone-based polish is water-resistant. Apply it before entering the water; it will create a protective barrier that maintains a high-gloss look and helps water bead off the surface, even after swimming.

Hand wash with mild soap and dry 100% inside and out. After rinsing salt/chlorine, wash with a pH-neutral latex cleaner. Pat dry with a lint-free towel and hang in a shaded, airy spot. Ensure the crotch and interior seams are completely dry before storing in an opaque bag to prevent mold growth in the moisture-prone areas.
