The future of plastic fetish

[kinkychippy]

Hi everyone, I'm glad to be back ,
The vast majority of members are I think the older generation when it comes to plastic rainwear and other pvc related articles. I myself came into contact with plastic baby pants and see thu plastic macs as a young boy growing up at home. In those days plastic and pvc items were common place, as in plastic pants, plastic macs, shower curtains ,plastic cycle capes ,plastic bed protection, ect.
I wonder how the next generation of plastic lovers will discover that they have a fetish for plastic macs and pants, because the pvc is no longer around like it was when we were growing up and being able to discover the love of plastic baby pants etc.
I love to be tied up in my rainwear,,a love of bondage that came from childhood, playing cowboys and Indians, actually playing out side and discoverers the love of being tied up.
I think the younger generation of today won't find
about plastic, rubber, pvc ,because it is simply not around to be discovered.
I hope this all makes sense of what I'm trying to say
Many thanks for reading

Hi, unfortunatly I think you are right. Young generation have not been in contact with plastics like I was when I grow up. We all had nylon raingear and nylon jackets in a way my kids never had. But one thing makes me happy, many people here have nylon down jackets. I really love them as much as raingear. They are so soft and shiny. Love women in them with bouncing boobs.
But other plastic cloathes are seen more and more seldom here.

At thirtytwo I consider myself still reasonably young, and although Pvc is now on its way out along with many other plastics, the shiny vinyls are still about, along with the high shine puffers. Shiny catsuits, jumpsuits and macs can still be found on Amazon. You can still buy cotton backed shiny vinyl by the yard if you prefer to make your own garments, we do. I agree, fetish fashion is just not out there at the moment, but if you look hard enough, it can still be found. I guess the generation thing may influence styles and taste. Perhaps we can blame the disposal of waste plastics for the demise in its useage. I dont know enough about the subject. I may well investigate!

You are probably right about plastic macs and other plastic rainwear. The fashion for them has fallen foul of the environmental lobby for whom all plastic is bad for the planet. Somehow though plastic pants have escaped this censure, perhaps an ageing population and the scarcity of public toilets these days has led many, particularly men, to resort to wearing them, first as a precaution, but having found they like the feel of them next to their skin, developing into a fetish. I must admit, at my age, I rarely leave home these days without plastic pants on underneath my trousers.

I've wondered about this recently. I am old enough to remember when shiny rainwear was worn very often. I don't know if the environmental lobby is really to blame, Gore -Tex and similar fabrics are made of some type of plastic, I think it is down to changing fashion and the lack of shiny rainwear on the high street shelves.

It depends. Yes, the days of common PVC is probably gone. There are rare examples (Stutterheim, Tretorn, etc) where PU good looking finishes exist, but not the commonplace as before.

I think the fetishes will be different. For example- PU coated glossy leggings/tights of just 4-6 years ago might help others discover a shiny fetish. Same with glossy black puffy jackets with the shiny finish. The 2008-2012 era trend of Hunter and other brands of shiny tall rain boots also could have introduced fetishes that way and could be a fashion item in the future.

1980s clothing like glossy Nylon/Lycra tights also were a surprise so something may come in the future like it.

Perhaps I will be surprised about future.

It is not just first hand experiences that develop a fetish, it can also simply seeing others wear some gear that catches your eye.
And while people will be less likely to stumble upon someone wearing some PVC or plastic (fetish) gear, they are much more likely to come across it online.

Half the women on tiktok are wearing tight or shiny clothes to imcrease views, and once someone finds their interest they can much easier than ever before order whatever they like online completely anonymously. Add to that the public perception of having a fetish compared to decades ago and the newer generations will do just fine.

We are the product of our past experiences. Older members tend to have fetishes for older materials like rubber, gabardine, possibly gas masks. Maybe experiences from the war years, seeing a pretty girl being made to put on a gas mask in a drill at school? Fast forward and nylon then plastic become available, but importantly worn by people we connect to. Endless stories of “my Mum used to have”, or my sister, uncle, a friend’s mother… etc. So as these materials die in popularity new ones come in and new fetishes are born. The child sitting building Lego watching his mother doing Peleton connects with the tight leggings and trainers she wears and a future desire is born. So the future of plastic is that there is none. It will die out. We will continue to hanker after a partner who will willing dress in PVC for us, or to find that mythical plastic raincoat or Peter Storm cagoule in a charity shop and take us right back to where it all started.

Plastic is dead (well dying), long live plastic!

Many thanks for the interesting reading from all your messages and observations.
How does the interest in being tied up in pvc pants and rainwear interact with the next generation i wonder?

A case of 'supply and demand' and, also, scaremongering by the eco lobby and the health and safety killjoys.

I think it is up to the likes of us to keep PVC popular (or, failing that, semi-popular) by introducing friends to the material and, also, by boosting demand by buying PVC garments from the outlets that still supply them.

If we wanted, we could pool together and form a company dedicated to PVC clothing and PVC fetish. If there's demand, there will be a supply.

As for the eco aspect, recycling and re-use of materials is commonplace these days. PVC can be recycled or re-used.

What I find frustrating is that the shiny garments sold by ASOS and other retail fashion chains are described as being made from 'vinyl' when, in fact, the material is nothing of the sort: Vinyl is PVC, aka Polyvinylchloride. Other shiny or semi-shiny materials, such as shiny nylon, shiny PU, shiny spandex, shiny polyester, shiny PEVA, etc, are NOT vinyl! Vinyl (PVC) is its own class of polymer and it has its own unique properties.

My PVC fetish extends to other items made from plasticized PVC sheet / film. Such as inflatables. I used to wrap myself up in clear PVC shower curtains when they were commonly available (the clear shower curtains these days tend to be made from PEVA or PU, which simply does not have the pleasing properties of PVC).

I find it frustrating that many China factories are now churning out inflatables made from 6P-free PVC, which lacks the properties I enjoy from a fetish perspective: softness, rubber-like feel, stickiness (the technical term for the stickiness is Blocking), gummy texture /rubbery texture, smoothness, the 'new PVC' aroma, and noise (that nice rustle and squeak).

On one occasion I bought a cheap 6P-free PVC clear PVC rainjacket from Ebay. I was disappointed: the material was stiff and had a paper-like texture.

The demonisation of all phthalate-based plasticizers is uncalled for, and it is an indication of the times of hysteria, knee-jerkism, Nanny State-ism and scaremongering we live in. In any case, the High Molecular Weight class of phthlates, such as DINP (Diisononyl phthalate) and DIDP (Diisodecyl phthalate) have been declared Safe, following extensive scientific evaluations in the 1990s.

The non-phthalate plasticizers, such as DINCH, citrates, terephthalates, epoxidised soybean oil (ESO), epoxidised linseed oil (ELO), etc, do not perform anywhere near as well as phthalates, including the High Molecular Weight phthalates DINP and DIDP. DINP and DIDP have excellent PVC compatability and they make the PVC very soft and 'gummy'.

I work in the field of Chemistry, and I know someone who can supply me with some DINP, which has an appearance of an oily liquid. He can also supply me with some DOP/DEHP. I plan on treating 6P-free PVC inflatables and raincoats with DINP, by applying a thin layer on the material's surface and allowing time (days/weeks) for the plasticizer to permeate into the PVC polymeric matrix. From the videos I've watched, this does actually work to make PVC inflatables (or, for that matter, PVC rainwear) soft.

Vintage raincoats that may have become embrittled with age (plasticizer loss, which is accelerated by exposure to oils, including skin oils, and direct sun), can be restored by treating them with DINP (basically, you apply a very thin film of the liquifd DINP evenly on the PVC surface, allow time to absorb, assess the softness and, if need be, apply another very thin layer until the desired softness is achieved).
