Latex Garments are produced from Natural Rubber Latex (NRL). NRL is an integral part of thousands of everyday consumer and healthcare items. The proteins contained within NRL can cause allergic reactions to Latex. More than 40,000 products used in homes, schools and medical settings contain latex, including common items such as: condoms, rubber bands, balloons, surgical and examination gloves, clothing elastic, etc. Latex allergy, or hypersensitivity, occurs when the body's immune system reacts to proteins found in NRL. Some individuals have specific antibodies, called IgE antibodies, that make them hypersensitive to the proteins in NRL. Although we take great care to use latex sheeting that has been ‘leached’ to a high level, to remove the proteins to a legally acceptable standard, the onus is on you the consumer to ensure that you do not have this problem prior to purchasing or wearing latex clothing. (Please note, that in over 25 years of our company selling latexwear we have never received any complaints of allergy caused by our clothing.) If you are returning an item for exchange, you must pay for the postage, and we strongly recommend you return goods to us using Registered Post or Signed-For delivery, or the equivalent. We cannot exchange your garment if the original item goes missing in the post.
