FAQs

For a pull-over style top (like a fitted T-shirt or tank top), where should I focus the dressing aid?

The neck/collar and the shoulders. These areas experience the greatest stretch when the garment is pulled over the head and torso. Apply a generous amount of silicone dressing aid or talcum powder around the neck opening and across the shoulders and upper arms to minimize friction and prevent tearing at the collar or seams.

How do I prevent deodorant or cologne from damaging the latex near the armholes or collar?

Isolate the area with powder. Many deodorants, perfumes, and colognes contain chemicals (especially alcohol or oils) that cause permanent, irreversible staining or degradation of latex. Before wearing, dust the interior edges of the collar and armholes with a layer of talcum powder to create a barrier.

How can I safely pull the top down or adjust the fit without tearing the material with my fingernails?

Always wear dressing gloves. Latex tops, especially thin-gauge ones, are highly susceptible to tears from fingernails or rough handling. Wear soft cotton or nylon dressing gloves when handling the garment to distribute the pulling force and shield the material from accidental punctures.

What is the best method for cleaning a sleeveless vest or top that has been worn directly against the skin?

Immediate, thorough interior cleaning. Hand wash immediately after use in lukewarm water using a mild, unfragranced soap or a dedicated latex cleaner. Focus vigorously on rinsing the interior of the garment to remove all traces of body oils, sweat, and deodorant residue, which quickly degrade the rubber.
