Chlorination Information What is chlorinated latex? Chlorinated latex the process we put all our clothing through. All our clothing is chlorinated for you (unless you prefer not - just tell us) Chlorination makes the latex permanently smooth and soft. This means: In most cases you won't need talc or lube to get into it You can get dressed quickly and with no fuss or mess. The latex won't stick to itself once it is clean and dry again. You can wear street clothing over chlorinated latex without it dragging You can wear it in bed for example, without it catching You can wear layer upon layer if you wish, with each sliding perfectly over the other The smell and noise are reduced It is more resistant to staining It may have improved shine Many allergy sufferers report NO reaction to chlorinated latex Already own a latex garment you want chlorinating? No problem, fill out this form. ​
Allergy Information Customers that have latex allergies have found that they do not react to Chlorinated latex. While this is excellent news we we would advise any one with a latex allergy to order a sample of chlorinated latex so that they can test this themselves. We would advise caution when testing any such allergic reaction and that some one be with you just incase. Below is a review from one of our customers ​ ​ Having tested a sample of chlorinated latex, Kasey Kupcake said;  Word of the street is... I am allergic. It's more than a skin irritation, and less than an anaphylactic reaction. I've always avoided it, ever since a tragic condom incident when I was younger. And then I found Catalyst Latex. They chlorinate their latex, by request, and at no additional charge! This removes most of the allergens and makes it wearable for almost all folx. So my allergy Queens, hit them up for a sample square to be sent to you! I hope it works for you, like it worked for me!
