What do you prefer, Latex or PVC Clothing?

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)
