It's a pretty broad subject..

Anything in particular you wish to know?

It is indeed a broad subject!

Latex is stretchy, natural rubber, shiny when polished (but generally not when it comes out of the package), clingy, fetishy, sweaty, and fun. It's fairly expensive compared to other clothing materials, and relatively fragile compared to other clothing materials. It's relatively high-maintenance in that it needs to be cleaned and cared for after wearing -- don't toss it in the closet when it's still damp and sweaty!

Like many other items in the BDSM world, there is a wide variety of manufacturers with a wide array of prices, and one generally gets what one pays for. A custom made garment from an established company -- of which there are several in the UK! -- is going to fit better than a one-size-fits-many garment from China, but the custom item will cost a lot more.

Read, research, ask more questions, and have fun! :D

Hi

I recommend going to the Birmingham Bizarre Bizaar. It should be quite easy to find the details with a Google search.

There is usually a couple of rubber suppliers there. There is a fetlife group and the organisers are friendly.
It is usually 3rd Sunday of each month.

Cheers
Freddy
