Review: Cat hood / Rubber 55

I bought my cat hood from Rubber 55 located in UK some years ago when UK was still part of EU. After the "brexit" I've been thinking a lot about ordering from UK and possible challenges regarding it. But I can say that despite brexit I'd return as a customer to Rubber 55 if and when I'd like to buy from them!

I absolutely fell in love with Rubber 55 cat hood. First time I saw it I wanted one myself. I still love it but I also try to give a fair opinion here if anyone else will get interested about it. So, let's take a better look!

Briefly:
Rubber 55's cat mask is one of the best cat masks I've come around. It looks absolutely beautiful. It hugs the figure of your face, feels really smooth and is easy to shine. The fabric feels also durable. I can say that Rubber 55 uses quality latex fabric. This makes prices reasonable.

Comfort while wearing is good but for some people it may be challenging to use this hood for long time because of tiny holes for nostrils and because the pattern may not be suitable for all.

Notifications:
Sizes of Rubber 55 hoods may look small when you get them on your hands. But I noticed that when I dressed on the hood it is really fit but fits perfectly around the head. This is because the material is flexible and stretches a bit so it becomes really smooth on your face and head.


Most of the hoods and masks I've tried on had the problem that they didn't fit well on my face or on my head so they didn't look smooth, they were made from too tight or thick latex or the pattern was not good. On Rubber 55's masks I don't have these problems. They are the best ones I've tried on when talking about standard sizes, without custom measures and cutting.


But to mention, the pattern may still not be suitable for all. I've heard criticism that Rubber 55's standard pattern doesn't go well with everyone.

I also heard a comment that if you have bigger nose than average it may be a problem with Rubber 55 hoods as the pattern of the nose is made on quite small scale.

One major thing to notice is that this mask has quite small holes for nostrils. It makes the mask itself look way better as big holes would look rough. But keep this in mind when concerning breathing. You may have to breath through your mouth once in a while if you move around even a bit.

As the last note, the fabric itself is durable but I recommend to be very careful with the ears. Ears are glued on the hood with small seams and there is a risk that ears can come off easily if pulled even a little amount. One of my hood's ears got a bit stuck once and the ear ripped off a little. Fortunately you can fix this possible damage easily by washing the silicone off, putting a thin line of suitable glue to area where the ear was fixed and letting the glue dry properly. (But if fixing please check separate instructions for fixing latex garments!).


Despite these notes the mask is quite durable after all and looks awesome! I can easily recommend one.

Review: Asuka plugsuit / Andromeda Latex

In the year 2016 I was lucky enough to get a slot from Andromeda Latex for commission of latex Asuka plugsuit. I was really anxious as I knew that this opportunity would be really rare but the costume wouldn't be cheap. I had always dreamed to get an Asuka plugsuit that would be perfect. Nothing like those poor ones around everywhere in cheap internet stores. I made a decision and asked for a commission. I got one. Asuka Langley Soryu meets Finland. Costume: Andromeda Latex. Model: Senshi. Photo: Tigrita. The system of Andromeda Latex is based on commissions and slots for them. People get a picture of manufacturer that is almost always booked full and rarely has any slots open. After all this is understandable because unique and high-quality costumes aren't anything like some mass-producted garments. Luckily sometimes one can notice an open slot that is announced on the website or social media channels. The commission and communicating are done with email. Thi

Being Asuka Langley Soryu in latex costume

I have noticed that most interesting thing in my photos and in my blog has been my Asuka Langley Soryu costume (by Andromeda Latex). Because I have felt that some people would like to see me doing only Asuka cosplay and posing in pictures with the costume I decided to write something about the costume. I also tell why I don't do only Asuka cosplay and why I do it quite rarely. I noticed that there hasn't been very much photos of the suit on my blog after my old review so I decided to put some photos here from the past years. I hope it covers some demand of seeing more about the suit as well as telling a bit more about experiences with it. I have cosplayed Asuka very rarely. It's not that I wouldn't like to do it but there are many reasons which I tell later on this article. General thoughts and some history of my Asuka costume Being Asuka feels fun. Well, I'm not a performer or actor so "being" sounds a bit too much. Let's just say that I love the look

Movies: Rubbers Ou Onna (Japan, 2010)

It was many years back when I found a mention about this movie on some website. There was a sho rt br iefing about the movie and it said the movie tells about a young woman who ha s a latex fetish . Of course I got interested about the movie and trie d to get i t in my hands as soon as possible. I had my prejudices regarding t he movie. Always when I had heard about a woman and latex clothing being in same movie it had been a fetish sex film or some short scene in a movie where some sexy bimbo wears PVC pants and makes i t excessive and a joke. I was very happy to find out that this movie wasn't a joke. It w as exactly what I had wished for a long time. Rubbers ou onna movie cover. Rubbers Ou Onna (also sometimes: "Rabâzu: Oou onna") is a japanese movie from year 2010. It's in japanese language. I didn't have an opportunity to watch the movie with subti tles or dub. Therefore my review is based on my own feelings and to things I saw in the movie. So
