So on my previous post I received a comment by user anothercatgirl who proposed that fewer stripes might be better.

Well I took that to the extreme and got some latex socks without any stripes. Perhaps this will make me even better at programming!

That aside, I just love how the light of the displays reflect on the oiled latex thigh high socks.

I might post a naughtier pic on my fetlife profile and on reddit in the future (same username) :)

    I use an actual dressing aid, there’s a recipe from reddit I’ve been meaning to try but buying a tube is easy for now:

    PROPORTION RATIO 
    0.653 DIMETHICONE
    0.327 CYCLOMETHICONE
    0.020 PHENYL TRIMETHICONE
    

    Once the latex is on, your sweat will do the rest 😎

    If you get new socks, try out chlorination. I haven’t yet, but people seem to like it.

      Chlorinated latex is great for casual wear because you don’t need dressing aid, but it feels and smells different than unchlorinated latex and if you want it shiny, you still need to apply silicone oil on the outside (although the dull surface can look great, too).

      Yeah I was thinking of making a mix, though pure dimethicone also works fine and doesn’t evaporate. I don’t mind the lubed up feel, it’s a bit hard to not use too much though. Also I think for these mixes, the viscosity of the ingredients matters a lot.

      The store I bought from doesn’t do chlorination and it’s a bit too dangerous for me to do it myself.
