For kinksters with a fetish for PVC

While PVC and latex are often lumped in with each other, there are some fetishists and kinksters who have a clear preference for one over the other. The two materials can look and feel different, though both have similar applications in terms of clothing and accessories (not to mention bedsheets and other kinky apparatuses!).

PVC is often cheaper than latex, making it a great choice for someone just starting out with fetish wear. Check out our magazine section for some ideas on how to make kink clothing work for you and where to find outfits a little off the beaten track.

Is PVC the same as Latex?

No, latex is a natural substance and PVC is a type of plastic.

I have a latex allergy, can I wear PVC?

You certainly can, PVC is a manmade plastic and so won’t trigger your allergy, so you can wear PVC fetish wear with no worries at all. Get your shiny on!

How do I choose the right PVC outfit for me?

PVC is made to be figure hugging so be sure to get the tight size for you. If you’re ordering online, make sure you get actual clothing measurements before ordering, often you can email someone for details if needed. If you’re just trying out PVC fetish wear try a smaller item you can match with other clothes to make up an outfit such as a skirt or top then if you love it, you can look for more PVC!

Does PVC need shining?

Unlike latex, PVC keeps its natural shine without any need for shining at all. You want to be careful not to stretch it, as this can damage the surface but otherwise PVC fetish clothing doesn’t need any specialist treatment. Just follow the manufacturers care instructions.

For kinksters with a latex fetish

Latex is a flexible, flattering and versatile material used in all kinds of ways in the kink community. It's great for costumes of all shapes and sizes, latex dresses and latex catsuits are popular examples, and it's also a fantastic material for all kinds of toys and bondage gear. Bear in mind though that it does need some looking after; you need to be careful to only use water-based lubricants with your latex gear, and to rub your latex clothes dry with talcum powder after wiping them clean with some slightly soapy water. Pretty much any item of clothing has a latex counterpart, from stockings to hair accessories, so with a little shopping around you're bound to find something that suits you.

For kinksters into patent leather

Clothing and material fetishes come in many forms. Patent leather can hold a wide range of associations: it's dark and tough and sexy, but it's also traditionally associated with the shiny shoes you may have worn with a party dress in your childhood. This makes it beloved of old-school kinksters and age play aficionados alike, and with its long-wearing durability and striking good looks you can't go wrong. It also has a distinctive texture, a noticeable scent and a tendency to need a little care and maintenance from time to time - all of which are things that make it a great option for new additions to your kinky wardrobe.

For kinksters with a fetish for silk

For many people, sex is primarily about sensation - and BDSM is no different. While leather, PVC and latex are the most common material-based fetishes, there are plenty of room for others as well! Silk clothing is sometimes fetishised, partly for its smooth feel but also for the associations it brings with it. There's something inherently decadent and luxurious about silk, which means it sets off the look and feel of many scenes beautifully. Clothing isn't the only way to use silk, of course! Silk restraints and silk bedsheets are also excellent ways to bring this unique sensation into your fetish play with ease.
