At first, when I experimented with this product, I looked down at my new latex glove with mixed emotions. I couldn't help noticing that it looked at though I'd dipped my hand in a bucket of tar. Then there was the smell, I'd done a skin test but still felt uneasy about putting something that smelled like hair dye on my body.

However, several weeks later I returned to the product whilst in a more raunchy mode and was surprised to find myself quite turned on by my next creation - a corset top.

It took just two coats of the latex with a paintbrush, and ten minutes, to produce an extremely flattering, skin tight top. Granted, with its nipple hugging fit, I wasn't going to be wearing it down the pub, but as a lingerie item, it wasn't half bad. My girlfriend seemed to agree.

At first she was a little reluctant to hold me, fearing that she would end up coated in black smudges, but after a few considered pokes, she realized that I was bone dry, even if the same couldn't be said for her appetite. It wasn't long before she was stroking and caressing my latex covered breasts.

When it came time to remove the top, we realized that pealing it away from the body had a similarly pleasing moreish effect to popping bubble wrap. Most of the corset came away in one large piece, with a few lighter patches around the edges needing attention later on. A little care was needed around the nipples but it didn't really hurt. I think this may be because I was careful only to apply latex to bald parts of the body. I've heard that ripping it off hairy surfaces can be painful!

Several guides suggested the use of talcum powder and finishing spray but I was happy with the results without using either. I was lead to believe the finish would be somewhat dull without a special spray but in fact it seemed quite shiny even once it was dry.

Even after making two items of clothing, I still have plenty of the product left. A little really does go a long way.

Be extremely careful not to get liquid latex on your clothes - I got a few splodges on a ribbed shirt and they seem to be there to stay. It's best applied in a room with a tiled floor such as a kitchen or bathroom, making sure that no mats or towels are within flicking range.

This is certainly a fun product to play with, particularly if you're a bit of an exhibitionist.

If you want to make clothes with a back, you will need two people. This is an excellent way to seduce somebody. Is there someone you're close to who you just haven't managed to snare yet? Tell them you need to create a top for a party and ask them to come around and help create it. Once the object of your desire has seen you in skin tight latex, you won't be needing to go to a party.
