Where to get decent Lycra wear in Germany

I've been asked a couple of times where I typically buy my Lycra fetish gear. There's three different sources:

1. Danceries
Danceries is a brand of ballet/dancing Lycra fashion, it can be found at numerous actual real-world as well as online shops. So you get the typical leotards, leggings or even single-piece suits. Everything has round-neck, and they don't really sell anything with a back zipper. No made-to-measure or other customizations like attached feet, gloves or zipper through crotch. But definitely "professional quality", i.e. seams so elastic that they never rip, fabric that can sustain a constant cycle of wearing, machine washing and drying for years.

2. AM-Sports
AM-Sports is another supplier for literally hundreds of different items of skintight sportswear. They have any style/pattern you can imagine, accommodate special requests such as attached feet or crotch zippers and have the biggest choice of uni-color Lycra material. Alternatively they also have a selection of shiny effect Lycra, microfiber, velvet, PVC and (god beware) cotton materials in various colors. They don't do made-to-measure, but they offer both regular as well as slim/tall sizes. What I find very special about them are the so-called "vaulting fashion" styles, i.e. single-piece suits to be worn for vaulting. Obviously they're great even without any horses involved :)

3. Fets-Fash/Skintightshop
Fets-Fash is a shop dedicated to the fetish community. Definitely no relation to sportswear here. Unfortunately this also means that their prices can be quite steep. Their specialty is customization with zippers, attached hood, feet, gloves, etc. They have some quite unique animal print and shiny effect Lycra materials. Made-to-measure service is excellent, but comes at a very big surcharge on the base price.

Real superheroine / fantasy Lycra fashion at tightshop.net

Due to occasional browsing yesterday, I ended up at tightshop.net: One of the few mail order stores for Lycra fetish gear in Germany. I didn't really run into this one before, but it has some quite exceptional items - not just the unicolor or uni-pattern full body suits, or the dancing or cheerleader outfits that are commonplace at other shops.

They actually seem to like the superheroine type of outfits. Not that this is my ultimate personal fetish, but it is very refreshing to see something different and new, made out of my favorite fetish material. The prices are also not as steep as at other shops, and made to measure is 15 EUR extra instead of a 30% surcharge like at other shops.

I am not in the mood to order something right now, but I'm definitely very inclined to order one piece and check out their quality. Be assured that I'll report back to this blog as soon as that happens.

Lycra Fetish

It all started with Lycra. Yes, that shiny elastic material that is being used for lots of sports fashion, bathing suits and the like.

Many years ago, I must have been twelve years of age, I started to notice that somehow my eyes were magically attracted to girls in skintight shiny sportswear. It was the brink of the nineties, when leggings were actually considered quite fashionable for some time.

Don't get me wrong: Not that I didn't find girls attractive by themselves; but the shiny skintight material added something 'magical' to their bodies, turning them into something even more fascinating.

I couldn't explain it (and I wasn't actually looking for any kind of explanation at that time), and I still can't really explain it with any of my fetishes today. It just exists, and I have learned to accept it the way it is.

I do not want to imply that schoolgirls/minors are sexually attractive to me in any way, to the contrary!! Please put the abovementioned statement into perspective. I was at the same age at that time, so it was only natural that I find them interesting.

The fascination was big enough to start collecting advertisements and snippets from sportswear mailorder catalogues. After some time later, I even bought some lycra leggings myself, wanting to feel the smooth fabric snapping skin tight to my own body. Obviously my parents found them at some point, but that's another (very unpleasant) story.

While in the upcoming years I have discovered and experienced many other interesting materials such as latex and pvc, my lycra fetish exists to this very day. Luckily I'm not the only one, and there are a number of manufacturers offering a variety of lycra catsuits and the like.` To me, at night, there's nothing making me feel better than having a lycra encased female partner next to me, whom i can cuddle and snuggle (and occasionally do more, thanks to the catsuits with crotch zipper *g*).
