A quick search using the term “latex free swim suits” in Google reveals that there are options, but that is no guarantee that you will find what you like. Good luck on your search.
]]>Right now I am having difficulty finding pants for work as most are a blend of cotton and rayon. If I can stay below 40% rayon in the pants, the reaction is minimal. Forget the combination in my tops. I have a few tops that are polyester that I manage to wear but most have to be 100% cotton. In less than 5 minutes it causes itching so bad that I want to rake my skin off.
Underwear and socks are a problem. While I seem to do ok with bras, panties cause me to break out in sores on my backside and I believe cause yeast infection. Socks I break out in hives on my ankles.
Several years ago I had to change panty liners brand as I was breaking out in blisters (where as a woman you never want to have a blister and most certainly not more than one) from the adhesive. While I was searching for a new brand I started up with the yeast infections. Doesn’t matter if the panties have a cotton crotch.
Many of your personal grooming products contain latex/rubber family ingredients in their products. I am highly sensitive to coconut, which I have so far found 34 ingredient names. Many products use coconut and avocado as moisturizing ingredients. Anything that suds (soap, shampoos, cleaners) contain coconut.

The nurse either did not care or did not know or just lied. Turns out they were latex. I suffered for over a month. I no longer see that Doctor and gave her scorching revues on every online review I could find. I now ask the doctor ( not nurses or associates) Everytime I visit before they touch me if the gloves have any latex. I make certain they understand that if there is the results will be whelping and blistering everywhere they touch me. They leave and check.
Be careful.
Make certain they are not only aware of the allergy but remind people you have already told. They are human and forget or just do not take the time to review.
I have had eye doctors tell me contacts do not contain latex only to have my eyes swell shut after 10-15 minutes. Turns out they are processed in a fluid containing latex. Sigh…
If anyone knows of a contacts mfg that has zero latex in the lense or manufacturering process. I would love to know.
I am wondering, are their any types of furniture that contains latex?
Bonded leathers? Or even the cloth covered?
Recently I started getting a rash similar to what I get when exposed to latex on the backs of my upper arms. One arm worse than the other. I think it maybe due to my skin getting hot next to our ” bonded leather” furniture. I have been careful lately to put a throw over the back of the chair. The rash is going away. The skin on my upper arms is more sensitive. My legs are exposed but I have zero rash on them.
The set never gave me issues prior but it is getting older. So could it be the material breaking down with my sweat and body heat? Or the heat and sweat are causing my skin to absorb it maybe??
