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:
Once the latex is on, your sweat will do the rest ๐
If you get new socks, try out chlorination. I haven't yet, but people seem to like it.
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.
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).
