[edit] Illustration

I have added the current picture. I tried to put the least provocative picture I could find (this one is from a store catalogue), and felt it was important to have a picture of a garnment made entirely of latex, and not of something that only use a small bit of it. This approach seems a good one to me. Of course the picture could be better (and free), and another type of garnment may be better. I tried to find a 100% latex garnment with no sexual connotations but I don't know if that even exists! Tonigonenstein 00:11, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Why has this page turned into a Bianca Beauchamp shrine? I mean, she's hot and all, but we should try to be a little more encyclopedic. Titan24 22:07, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree. i dont think 6 pictures of her are necessary to understand latex clothing. especially of her modelling her breasts. Aznfurball 04:38, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reverted illustration

I reverted the illustration from Image:Bianca catsuit.jpg to Image:Latex_catsuit_female.jpg. Before anybody has a fit over this, it isn't intended to be an act of censorship (I'm a member of Wikipedians Against Censorship); the current image illustrates the topic better (providing a full-body shot of a latex suit), while the nudity in the former illustration actually distracted from the subject.

To better illustrate my point, here's a quote from WP:IUP:

Images should depict their content well (the object of the image should be clear and central).

The woman's breasts took up the majority of the previous image (and even if they hadn't, they still distract unnecessarily from the supposed object of the image, the latex suit). Jeff Silvers 21:19, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Latex Thickness

There is *no* way that most clothing is 2 mm thick. 0.5 mm is much more common, skin tight 2 mm would be incredibly restrictive. While I have unfortunately no citation to prove my point, making this original research (ahem), I think the topic is obscure enough that we can stretch (ha!) the rules a little Observer31 22:42, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Splinter cell: latex??

The article references the main character of splinter cell and his particular outfit. I know for a fact that the outfit is supposed to be a type of wetsuit, which would be made out of neoprene, a synthetic rubber. Does that fit into the category of latex? I wouldn't have thought it did. cyclosarin (talk) 11:20, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
