Most gals idolize the sultry sensuality of the taboo fashions that can be found made in latex or pvc. It's synonomous with fierce and flirty, domination and maybe even a touch of the 'adult' but we won't go quite that far today. Let's look at these from a fashion point of view.
Where is latex King and when should you stick to PVC? As a costumer, both have perks and drastic negatives.
LATEX
Pros
- The 'upscale' choice, a status symbol amongst many models and fashion queens
- Skintight, variety of colors and typically custom made to your measurements
- due to customization, you can easily have an 'affordable' one of a kind
- when taken care of, can last for a long time
- great conversation piece (this is a joke)
Cons
- Sweaty (yeah, it's hot when you are covered in RUBBER)
- Requires strict care regiment and attention to detail (metals, perfumes, etc can ruin your latex)
- turn around time for custom pieces can be MONTHS
- EXPENSIVE
- Requires lube to 'shine' the latex and thus you get lube on anything you touch
- great in photos, not very comfortable for a long duration
- Some become claustrophobic in latex
PVC
- vastly less expensive
- still often made to your measurements though easily accessible and 'ready made'
- more versatile and less 'showy'
- more flexibility*depending*
- can be 'lined' to avoid chaffing and provide comfort
- no danger from metal or perfumes when worn
- longer wear ability at a given duration
Cons
- often times it's less quality than a good piece of latex
- many con artists try to pass it off as latex when it's clearly not
- can still be pricey for a good piece
- still sweaty
- When standing next to latex, it looks like a cheap knock off

And to close the arguement, here's a picture of me in my Latex Harley Quinn Dress Followed by a photo of myself in a PVC Harley Quinn I made a year ago. I certainly prefer the latex, but both have their perks. (though I apologize for the low quality of the latex shot, it's a behind the scenes shot from a modeling shoot)
