Rubber or plastic?

[In plastic]

Which do you prefer wearing?

The Internet is full of rubber and latex fetish stuff, far less when it comes to plastic, PVC etc.
While rubber can be visually stunning, especially when polished to a high shine, I just can't get excited about the feel of it. It feels dull to wear. Plastic on the other hand feels alive, energised. I can happily wear it for hours and frequently do. From just plastic pants to full body encasement... just amazing.

How about others on here?

Well an interesting topic ,my first love has to be plastic closely followed by latex and rubber. I discovered plastic pants at a very young age when I found my love of plastic baby pants of my younger sister, i loved the feeling and the smell of them ,.Latex came later on I ordered rubber wear from the Sunday paper ads ,South bucks rubber, my collection of fetish wear is about 50/50 Plastic and rubber. Just recently buying more pvc from my favourite suppliers,,,,,,,pvc u like. They sell some amazing outfits. So I have to say plastic is my top love ,i also love bondage with my plastic pants, and my plastic macs ,oh childhood memories of plastic baby pants and rainwear. Enjoy xx

For me it has always been PVC, or thin nylon with a shiny backing. Although I am into my early 60's, I never had any rubber rainwear myself, the only rubber garments that I can remember were some cagoules in the 1970's had a rubber backing, but I never had one myself.

My preferred fetish is vintage nylon raincoats. There certainly aren't many of us who love nylon raincoats. Vintage PVC raincoats come in second place; semi-transparent, smoke-colored PVC raincoats are my favorite.
I own quite a few nylon raincoats myself, as well as a very small number of PVC raincoats. I wear at least one of the nylon coats every day.
I’ve started looking for a Klepper rubber coat because I want to try rubber. It is very difficult to find a Klepper coat in good condition in my size.

The smell of a rubber garment is intoxicating, and a nice fitting rubber skirt clings fantastic.
The look of shiny pvc or latex and the noise is second to none.
I’ll take all options.
I’ll not get started on a satin trench ..

My main kink has always been for heavy duty commercial / industrial rainsuits and coveralls, although over the years I've developed in liking for lighter weight rainsuits if they are unlined 100% PVC, I'm not really into latex so much but I do have a heavy 1.2mm rubber ulined drysuit I love and a couple of rubber chemical suits, most of the rubber in my collection comes in the form of gloves, wellies and waders, I've just won a pair of vintage heavy rubber unlined chest waders on ebay and I can't wait to climb into them when they arrive.

[Pvc Vinyl Enthusiast]

Plastic (specifically: PVC, aka polyvinylchloride, aka vinyl) for me. Every time.

But, not just any PVC. It must have a glossy surface, whether opaque and glossy or transparent and glossy. With either DINP or DEHP as the plasticizer, as these not only impart excellent softness and flexibility, even at cold winter temperatures, but compared to other plasticizers (like DINCH, adipates, terephthalates, citrates, etc), DINP and DEHP promote blocking (the surface 'tackiness' or 'stick-slip'), which is responsible for the satisfying rustling/crackling noise.

For me, this glossy PVC has a multisensory appeal: visual (wetlook, high light reflectivity), auditory (the rustling/crackling associated with blocking), tactile (smooth-feel, gummy-like softness), and olfactory (the strong aroma when new, but, also, a more subtle longlasting aroma).

I've tried other plastics (EVA/PEVA, POE, TPU), and compared to PVC (polyvinylchloride; vinyl) I think they're rubbish.

Plastic all the time. Having said that I have had limited exposure to latex. In the days before the Internet the world seemed full of rubber fetish magazines and clubs, nothing for PVC enthusiasts, in fact often people assumed that liking PVC was the same as latex (you often find fetish gatherings include both). So I was always angry with the rubber lovers getting in the way of finding like minded souls or material about plastic.
