Sizing

How do I choose the right size?

In order to choose the correct size please refer to our size guide here.

When using the guide, use your actual body measurements, making sure not to pull the tape measure too tight, or too loose. We size down our garments by around 10% to ensure a tight fit (as seen in our photos) with no wrinkles/bagginess.
To get the most accurate measurements, we highly recommend asking a friend to help, or visiting a local seamstress.

We do not accept exchanges/returns on non-faulty items so it's very important to double check your size before ordering. Do not just pick your usual size as our guide may differ from other brands.

Still unsure on sizing? Please don't hesitate to contact us at hello@mmlatex.com and we will be happy to assist you.

I'm inbetween sizes, which size should I get?

If you're in-between sizes we usually recommend sizing down for a tight fit and sizing up for a comfortable, but not baggy fit.

However if you're unsure please don't hesitate to contact us at hello@mmlatex.com and we will be happy to assist you.

Can I return my item if it doesn't fit?

We do not accept exchanges/returns on non-faulty items so it's very important to double check your size before ordering. Do not just pick your usual size as our guide may differ from other brands.

Made to measure pieces cannot be exchanged, however if the fit isn't perfect we are happy to work with you to make any necessary adjustments.
If you're unsure on sizing please don't hesitate to contact us at hello@mmlatex.com and we will be happy to assist you.

Latex Care

How do I care for my latex?

After enjoying your latex, you must clean it under lukewarm running water or in a sink/tub for larger pieces.
You can use mild detergent/dish soap or a latex cleaner such as Viviclean. Hang to drip dry.
Once fully dried, coat in a thin layer of talc powder and store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight (which can damage/stain the latex)
Do not store dark coloured latex next to light coloured latex as this can cause staining. Also, be careful to prevent light coloured latex from coming into contact with metal hardware such as zippers,eyelets etc.
For pieces with zippers, we recommend storing your garment with a piece of tissue paper inside to prevent the zipper from coming into contact with the latex.

Nicotine, sunlight and excessive handling can also cause staining to light coloured latex, so please keep this in mind when choosing a colour.

How do I shine my latex?

When your garments arrive, they will be coated in a light layer of talc. This is to seal the glue, and to protect it during shipping.
To shine your latex (as seen in our photos) you will need to apply a latex shiner. There are many different brands available, but we recommend Vivishine.
First, you must clean the talc off your latex. You can do this under lukewarm running water or in a sink/tub for larger pieces. You can use mild detergent/dish soap or a latex cleaner such as Viviclean.
Then, fill a tub or sink with lukewarm water and apply a few drops of Vivishine to the water. A little goes a long way - for large (such as catsuits) or several pieces use a capful, for small lingerie items only a drop or two is required.
Move the latex around in the water to make sure the shiner is evenly distributed, and leave to soak for a few minutes. Hang to drip dry.
If marks appear on your latex during the drying process, don’t worry! These are residual water marks and will disappear once the garment is fully dried.

Is your latex chlorinated?

No, our items are not chlorinated.

How do I remove stains from latex?

Unfortunately in most cases latex stains cannot be removed. We would like to emphasise cleaning and storing your latex properly is very important, especially for lighter coloured latex. For full care instructions please see our guide here.

We are not liable for staining resulting from improper latex care. However, if you need any assistance or guidance on how to properly care for your latex items, please feel free to contact us. We are more than happy to provide advice and support to help you keep your latex products in the best possible condition.
