William Wilde is a London based designer and costumier who creates exquisite hand-made latex fashions.

William was passionate about fashion and costume from an early age; after graduating from the University of Westminster Wilde has specialised as a latex designer, bespoke Bridal wear cutter and now costume designer at The Box nightclub, Soho.

His first four collections have been extremely well received on account of their quality and style. William’s use of latex combined with luxury fabrics, signature prints and unique detailing, results in breathtaking exquisite creations, that are sure to both provoke and amaze.

3xL: Tell me a little about yourself. Where are you from? What’s your educational background?

William: I’m originally from Cheshire, up North… I studied Fashion Design from age 16, before moving down to London to do a degree in Fashion at the University of Westminster.

3xL: When did you realize you wanted to become a fashion designer?

William: I wanted to be a fashion Designer from as soon as I could draw, it was the first thing I remember being really in to, clothing, costume, style, glamour, art, theatre, were all of my first interests.

3xL: Describe me your general process you go through from design to realization of a piece of clothing.

William: There’s a few different types of process I’ll go through, the best type is when I just think of something and it gets quite quickly amazing in my head, then in the gap between when I can realistically start it gets clearer and then I can’t wait to make it!

3xL: How does designing latex wear differ from designing clothes?

William: It doesn’t really, the nature of the material means it requires different technical treatments/procedures which makes designing it exciting as the results are quite special, but I apply the same designing thought process.

3xL: What do you believe gives quality to clothing?

William: I think generally speaking the quality can be reflected in the time it takes to make a garment. Including attention to detail, I think if something has been lovingly laboured over then the quality is in-built.

3xL: How would you define the style your line exemplifies?

William: I want for people to look at my clothes and to immediately understand the references and the style that I love, so I delight in making that obvious and celebrating that style. It’s glamorous, dramatic, and overtly indulgent.

3xL: What matters to you most as a fashion designer?

William: Producing more collections, new work, and always aiming to achieve things that I’ve never seen before.

3xL: What are some of your fashion goals?

William: I want to be progressively more and more excited about the next collection than the last, I want to do the best that I can and make the most beautiful things that I can possibly imagine.

3xL: Where do you get your inspiration from?

William: All over the place really, there are lots of different ways that ideas will grow and change, I love themes and characters and these combine to produce collections.

3xL: Where do you see your fashion in 5 years from now?

William: I just want to be bigger and better, there are a few different directions I would like to explore, the skies the limit!

“Latexa Fashion” is closing. The little latex store have been selling latex clothing to Copenhagen’s kinky people since 1995. The reason for the closure is not surprisingly the fact that more and more people buy their latex online.

Personally, I find it a little sad that the store is closing. I brought my very first latex item in that very store – a pair of molded latex briefs. The briefs are no more, but I still remember how embarrassing I felt and how red my cheeks where, when I paid the cashier.

Anyway, last chance for visiting is March 27. So be sure to stop by for some great savings. Basically everything is marked down except care products, including all molded gear at 50% off!

The metamorphosis from humanoid to insectoid may for some, exist only in a Kafkaesque nightmare of the absurd. Tres Bonjour challenge such insectophobic prejudices with their dreamscape collection “Sensation du Corps” : six latex couture outfits designed exclusively for the THIRTY ROCKS anniversary issue 2012 of TUSH Magazine. The theme : insects.

Since 2009 the Berlin fashion designers Viola Jaeger and Sandra Dresp have worked exclusively with latex. On a recent trip to Berlin I had the pleasure of meeting Viola and seeing, touching, smelling and even trying on some key pieces from this unique collection.

Viola and Sandra have successfully captured the beauty and fragility of butterflies and moths with translucent latex in delicately muted colours, contrasting with the ubiquitous black glossy latex (never have I seen black latex with such a deeply intense shine as that which hangs on the rails in the Tres Bonjour boutique).  The suggestion of cocoons, gossamer wings and exoskeletons has been created with nebula-like effects using liquid latex and boning to create structure and architectural shaping.

Viola told me, “We had four weeks to create the six couture outfits so it was quite a challenge as we were working on many orders too.”  Behold the magical world of metamorphosis.

A video of the photoshoot can be viewed here.

Viola goes on to say, “We are the first latex brand ever to exhibit a collection at a  ”regular” fashion fair .  Last summer we were selected by the chief editor  of German VOGUE to present at VOGUE Salon in Berlin.  In January we  participated in the Capsule Tradeshow during Berlin Fashion Week and  next week we’re going to Paris to present our upcoming collection in a  multibrand showroom together with 22 of the best German fashion  designers during Paris Fashion Week.

Tres Bonjour will also be flitting over to Essen for the Fetish Evolution Weekend 29 March – 2 April 2013 where you can drool over their ethereal, exquisite creations for yourself. 

Over the past week, Kink Engineering has released a series of teaser images leading up to the first item in a new line of armbinders. Their box-tie armbinder will be released on Valentine’s day, with a one-day only dale of 30% off.

Marika (aka Archean), the new CEO of Kink Engineering is very excited about the launch. “I’ve been meaning to develop a line of armbinders for some time now, and I think the latex box-tie is a very versatile start to the line. It can be modified to accommodate various levels of (dis)comfort, and the fact that it’s available in a variety of colors – medical and blood red, black and pewter – really sets it apart from other available armbinders.”

Marika took over Kink Engineering after her spouse – Matt “Mad Scientist” – passed away in May of 2012. This is the first major product launch for the company since the change in management, although they’ve been releasing some exciting new takes on their existing vacbed products. In December of 2012, they released their Carbonite photoset – a tribute to Star Wars. Later that month, they released their new Sakura Overlay vacbed. “The Sakura bed was a tribute to Matt,” explains Marika. “Cherry blossoms are a symbol of fragility and the life cycle. To honor Matt’s life I got a cherry blossom tattoo, so it seemed natural to create a cherry blossom vacbed to commemorate him in his company.”

“We’re planning a wide range of product launches this year, including a whole series of armbinders and inflatable products. Keep your eye on Kink Engineering – this year will be exciting!”

I have recently been the recipient of two very exciting rubbery packages. Each I held in my trembling, sweaty hands before opening, savouring all the panting, shortness of breath, thumping heart and hot flush of excitement that goes hand in hand with such long awaited and anticipated deliveries. Each contained a catsuit in 0.25 gauge from well known and very well respected purveyors of latex garments. Each was constructed according to standard sizing rather than made to measure as I nearly always fall into regular sizing categories.  So back to my rubbery bundles, let’s call them Exhibit A and Exhibit B.

Take Exhibit A which plodded its way to my door 8 weeks from the time of ordering. That was ok as I had been warned of this when I ordered and had been kept up to date with production and delivery so can’t fault the communication. The beatific sight I beheld when I finally broke through the taped up box was £400 worth of catsuit and a hood costing £120, both looking exquisite. However, delirium soon turned to disappointment with the trying on of the catsuit. It fitted me mostly…except for the groin which was a baggy disaster area on each side of the crotch zip. Nothing worse than a baggy groined catsuit in the world of latex obsessives…! Maybe I need to eat more chocolate and hopefully it will settle on my crotch area only. And the ankles were ill fitting too… The situation went from a disaster movie to full on Armageddon when I leaned over to pick up my shoes and felt a pop! Yes, that was skin I could now feel on my butt where beautiful latex had been only moments before. When informing the company of what had happened I was told immediately to send it back to be mended and the crotch area to be adjusted, so again, no complaints there I have to admit.  The name of the company – I will take this information to my rubbery grave!

Now to Exhibit B. This catsuit took 1 week and 1 day to be made up to my specifications and delivered. Communication was first rate. Any emails I sent were replied to within the hour, no matter what the time of day. The fit was absolutely perfect in every nook and cranny, even my offending crotch area. Tried leaning over…no popping sound to put the fear of god in me. Now on to the price: this lovely garment of rubber perfection came in at just £104. Yes, believe your eyes. A quality, tailor made latex catsuit from a company who will bend over backwards to please the customer at an unreal price.  The name of the company – Ultimate Slut.

My conclusion: it’s obvious…

Ultimate Slut’s catalogue price for their Classic Catsuit is listed at £130 and they are offering 20% discount on everything until the end of February, bringing the price down to £104.  So now is the time to get that bargain catsuit everyone’s always seeking in the forums of Fetlife and the like. Ultimate Slut were the original creators of the much copied Ballhood and specialise in inflatables, megaboobs and vacbeds as well as their unique clothing range.

Like many other male rubberist, I find it to be a huge turn on to have my cock and balls encased in latex. You can do this by using a latex penis sheath, also know as latex penis cover or latex penis sleeve. A molded penis shaped latex condom which comes in a number of shapes, sizes, thickness and colors.

However, the main issue when it comes to latex penis sheaths is finding a latex sheath that fits you comfortably. It is a nightmare! As we all know, male private parts come in a wonderful variety of shapes and sizes. Also, most stores don’t show their products so you can compare the sizes of them to each other. Very frustrating, indeed!

So last year I contacted Twist My Rubber Arm, who I believe to have the best selection of latex penis sheaths on the net, and asked them to send me their entire selection of latex sheaths. This way I could check them out for you guys and can now present to you my Ultimate Latex Penis Sheath Guide!
 

How the Latex Penis Sheaths were Compared

The latex penis sheaths were divided into 7 types and then compared by size, thickness, color and variants. All measurements are noted in millimeters.

Size was measured in four places: shaft length, shaft girth, balls girth and entry girth. Measurements were taken as shown in the following illustration:

Thickness is important as a latex penis sheath made from thin latex (0,3 – 0,5 mm) is MUCH MORE flexible than a thicker (0,6 – 1,0 mm) version. Click the measurement in each chart to get directly to the Twist My Rubber Arm product page for each specific item.

Colors for latex penis sheaths are mainly black, red and translucent, but some can be custom ordered in different colors as listed below.

Variants list the alternative options such as drainage tubes, open-end, ect. Click the name to be taken to the Twist My Rubber Arm product page for each item.
 

Different Types of Latex Sheaths

Large Latex Penis Sheath

Large latex penis sheath with anatomical detailing. This is the biggest size available and is manufactured in a really nice quality.

 
Latex Penis Sheath Long Balls

Latex penis sheath with anatomical detailing and long ball sack. The long ball sack makes it ideal to use with ball stretchers. Good quality.

 
Regular Latex Penis Sheath

Latex penis sheath with anatomical detailing. Good quality.

 
Latex Penis Sheath with Teat End

Latex penis sheath with a teat end. This sheath is thinner than most and is very flexible.

 
Thick Latex Penis Sheath with Cock Ring

Thick latex penis and ball sheath. The base of the sheath has a built-in cock ring. This sheath difficult or even painful to wear as it has very little room for the balls and that 1 mm thick latex only stretches a little.

 
Small Latex Penis Sheath

Small latex penis sheath with a small entry. Low quality product. Not available from Twist My Rubber Arm.

 
Latex Penis Sheath without Ball Sack

This is basically a long latex condom with some anatomical detailing. Due to the lack of anchoring this penis sheath is hard to keep in place without using a hand.

Latex Penis Sheath Size Comparison

In order to compare the actual size of one sheath to another, I created a Latex Penis Sheath 1:1 Size Chart, as can be seen scaled down here to the right. Click the image to download it as a 1:1 PDF-file.
 

How to Wear a Latex Penis Sheath

Putting on a penis sheath can be a little tricky. Use plenty of lubrication (water-based or silicone), both on your cock and inside the sheath. Depending on what type of sheath you are putting on, begin by inserting the tip of your cock into the sheath while pressing out any excess air. When your cock is fully inserted, pull the ball cover down over your balls using both hands. You might need to stretch the ball cover opening to get your balls inside. This especially goes for sheath with the “rolled” opening. Afterwards, use your fingers to smooth out any skin folds in the edges and remove any excess air from the ball cover. Apply some shine to your latex covered cock and you are good to go.

How long you wear a penis sheath is up to yourself and how well the sheath fits your penis. However as most penis sheath obstruct the natural blood flow in your penis, so if it starts to hurt, it’s a really good idea to take a break.

When you finished wearing your latex penis sheath, remove it by simply reversing the steps you used to put it on. To clean it, wash the sheath both inside and outside, in lukewarm water with a little soap. Pat dry with a towel, both inside and outside, and store it in a plastic bag away from sunlight.
 

Latex Penis Sheath Recommendations

My personal favorites are the “Large Latex Penis Sheath” (0,4 mm) and the “Latex Penis Sheath with Teat End” (0,5 mm) – both are really great quality, comfortable to wear and a lot of fun to play around with.

Penis sheaths can be difficult to wear during sex, but if you use plenty of lube you should be good. Keep in mind that latex penis sheaths are a sex toy and not anti contraceptive device or a HIV barrier, so if you want to be 100% safe, wear a condom over it.

Penis sheaths also works great if used in combination with cock rings. A cock ring can be worn both over and under the penis sheath, so try out what works best for you. This especially goes for the penis sheaths with a small ball sack. For those into ball stretching, try wearing penis sheaths with a Oxball Cocksling. It’s really tight and makes you rock hard!

Latex penis sheaths are great for masturbation. Lube it for maximum enjoyment, turn it inside out for a more smooth feeling, make your own latex fuck hole by inserting the inside out sheath into a folded pillow or a thick sports sock.

Yes, there are many ways to have fun with a latex penis sheath! Enjoy!
