Do you think latex looks like plastic?

Hi,

Does latex, in your opinion, resemble plastic?

I personally loved plastic from the moment I discovered it, and when I first came across latex clothing, to me it was like a beautiful shiny plastic bag.

But not everyone seems to interpret it that way. So I ask you, do you think it looks like it or not?

No, Latex is a 100% natural rubber.

I prefer plastic to latex but both are sexy. In a photo it can be difficult to tell the difference, but in a video you see that the rubber moves differently than PVC. Wearing latex and plastic have very different feelings, again both are lovely although personally I prefer to be encased in plastic given the chance. Of course, you have to apply a shine to latex as it is naturally matte, whereas PVC can have different finishes.

Don't forget PU or PE or PEVA and all the other plastic and elastomeres. Dependent on the formulation, filling matter, chain lenght and chain crosslinking, plastisizers and so on can have complete different effects on the exact same type of synthetics. Plastic is a science in itselfe. To think that I almost made the plastic engineer...
