About this deal
This is done by unpicking the waistband, removing the zip and cutting away the excess fabric, then sewing the waistband on again. Capes and ponchos can be easier to put on than a heavy jacket or coat, especially if you have restricted shoulder movement. When considering how you use and transfer on/off the toilet, what items of clothing will you need to move or remove?
We would suggest hanging coloured latex clothing separately in clear plastic garment bags, as colours can be transferred onto each other when latex is polished. This is a split conical tube which fits over the hand and forearm, protecting frail joints or post-op skin when putting on a long sleeve. As you put your garment on for the first time, it will be lightly talced inside which will help, you may wish to use more talc, or alternatively a latex friendly dressing aid/lube will really help slide into the garment if it's rather tight or doesn't have a zip.

There are a range of dressing techniques that can be used depending on what difficulties you have with dressing.A dressing stick usually consists of a long wooden or plastic handle, with a hook on one end and sometimes a thimble or smaller hook on the other.
