Summary

In this exclusive interview with Henny aka Heavyrubberette, an experienced latex enthusiast, we talk about her personal journey into the latex scene, her development into a scene icon, and the passion that drives her. Henny, 42 years old, has been active in the latex scene for more than 20 years, is a mother of two and works as a gardener.

In conversation with Lena, Social Media Manager at My Playrooms, she shares tips for beginners, humorous anecdotes and insights into the fascinating world of latex.

Lena (My Playrooms): Welcome to Kinky Talk with My Playrooms! Today I have a particularly exciting guest: dear Henny, better known on Instagram and in the scene as “Heavyrubberette.” Henny is now 42 years old and has been in the latex scene for 22 years. Today we want to focus in detail on the topic of latex, and I think you’re just the right person, Henny! Would you like to introduce yourself – both kinky and vanilla?

Introduction and Background

Henny (Heavyrubberette): Sure! I’m 42, married, we have two children. I work as a gardener. My husband, then boyfriend, confessed to me in 2002 that he was into latex. I was about 19 or 20 and had no idea. But that’s how it all started. Over the years my enthusiasm grew, and during Corona I started my “Heavyrubberette” account because I just wanted to be a bit more active in the scene and online.

First Experiences with Latex

Lena: How did you specifically discover your passion for latex? You said you didn’t really know what it was about at first.

Henny: Exactly, back then there wasn’t this quick Googling with a smartphone. We went to various sex shops – there were still some in the Ruhr area – and I could try on gloves there. Then a store called “I’m a Sex” (now “Viva Latex”) opened in Dortmund. They basically took me by the hand and explained how latex feels and how to wear it properly. That was my entry point.

Lena: Was there a particular experience, event or piece of clothing where you knew: “Oh, this is definitely mine”?

Henny: I’d say it was more of a gradual process. We went to a lot of fairs like Fetish Evolution in Essen. I got custom-made pieces, for example a catsuit with a collar entry. At first I allowed the feeling more for my husband’s sake. But at some point it “clicked” for me too – after a few years, I have to say.

Feeling and Environment

Lena: Wasn’t the feeling of seeing yourself in latex strange at first?

Henny: Absolutely. I was never a big fashion type, and latex is very body-hugging. Plus, there was less choice 20 years ago. But the more I wore it, the more comfortable I felt in it.

Lena: How did your environment react – family, colleagues?

Henny: Only a few really know. Until recently I worked in public service, which wouldn’t have fit at all. That’s why I always kept my private life and latex passion separate. A few close friends and family members know. Most are neutral: “Okay, if it’s fun ...” I don’t have to explain more.

Lena: Did you find it difficult to “hide” your hobby when others talked about their weekend events?

Henny: Totally! When everyone talks about what they did and I think: “I was at a fetish party” – that’s not so easy to say. But you get used to it. I preferred to say: “Oh, it was a normal weekend” and that’s it.

Social Media and Masks

Lena: You now have a pretty successful Instagram account where you show yourself in various latex outfits, often with a mask. How did that come about?

Henny: My husband always wanted me to wear latex masks, but I didn’t find it that exciting for a long time. At some point I discovered a cat mask from “Gummi Cat” that I really liked. Plus, I didn’t want to show my face online – so it was perfect. Then I started this Insta account, at first just to be a bit more active in the scene anonymously. And it went down really well.

Lena: Your pictures look very professional. Do you work with photographers?

Henny: Yes, with my husband, who also takes photos, and with a few photographer friends like Matthias, whom I’ve known since 2003/2004. The pictures are mostly private shoots. I’m not a classic model, but I just enjoy it, and so my gallery of latex pictures keeps growing.

What’s Fascinating About Latex?

Lena: What fascinates you so much about latex?

Henny: The tightness, the slight sweating, that special sound – just a completely different body feeling. In over 20 years it’s become a real fetish. I associate latex with many beautiful memories and special moments.

Lena: Do you have a favorite outfit or accessory?

Henny: Gloves are a must for me. Without gloves I feel incomplete. Right now I love a black catsuit with a semi-transparent purple overlay. But I like to try all sorts of things. And if I don’t like something anymore, I sell it.

Latex Care and Buying

Lena: For me – and surely many beginners – latex is a huge topic. You hear there are different thicknesses, you need silicone oil ... Do you have tips for how beginners should start?

Henny: For starters you can get inexpensive pieces, like gloves from Rubberfashion or similar shops. You don’t pay much and see if you like it or maybe have a latex allergy. For putting it on, definitely use silicone oil – oil yourself and the latex, then it slides on better. For thickness I like 0.4 mm best. 0.2 mm is super thin, breaks faster. 0.6 or 1 mm is very thick and feels very different. Proper care is important: I store my things either powdered (but only with pure talcum) or with silicone spray. And don’t use lotion beforehand, it can damage the latex.

Latex as a Fetish and the Scene

Lena: Is latex more than just a passion for you now – a real fetish?

Henny: Definitely. I love the material and associate it with much more than just “looking chic.”

Lena: How do you experience the community? On social media you often see group photos that look very family-like.

Henny: Mixed. Some people are elitist and emphasize that they only wear designer X, are featured in magazine Y. Others are open and warm. I think events like the “Ares Latex Lounge” are great. The organizers make sure everyone feels comfortable. That creates a very relaxed and family atmosphere.

Lena: Can you recommend certain parties?

Henny: For pure latex parties, for example the “Latex Lounge” at Ares. That’s great for people who really love latex and want to exchange ideas. But there are also mixed fetish parties like “FacettenReich” at Matrix Bochum, where you can wear leather, lace or whatever. You have to try out what suits you best.

Play Styles in the Latex Area

Lena: I often see latex gas masks or vacuum beds. What’s that about?

Henny: Many are into this “breath control” aspect. Gas masks also anonymize and look special – you become a drone or a gimp. Vacuum beds or cubes suck out the air, so you’re tightly enclosed. That’s super intense for some, especially when toys are used. Others are interested in latex restraints. There are countless variations.

Lena: Do you have personal preferences?

Henny: Definitely gas masks. I love the feeling of breath control. And no gloves, no go. Luckily my husband shares many of my preferences.

Anecdotes and Experiences

Lena: Were there any special, maybe funny moments you associate with latex?

Henny: Oh yes. Once we were with the people from “Viva Latex” (formerly “I’m a Sex”) at a party in a house. It sounded great at first, but was pretty boring. So we jumped into the pool in latex – a great feeling because the water presses the latex even tighter to the skin. Or we once had a latex swing that broke. I was hanging there halfway. Embarrassing, but we laughed a lot.

Lena: Ever ripped an outfit at a party?

Henny: Luckily not. At home something broke once. At parties I was always lucky that everything held – although every time I think: “Hopefully it won’t happen.”

Playrooms and Latex

Lena: Let’s talk about My Playrooms: What do you look for in a playroom when you want to book it for your latex passion?

Henny: It’s important that the location is stylish, clean and quiet enough. If I want to take photos or videos, that has to be allowed. And I check what toys are available, what costs extra. Parking is also an issue – especially if you want to bring a lot of latex stuff.

Lena: How have you found playrooms so far?

Henny: Once through friends who already knew a location. And then I searched online. Your platform My Playrooms is helpful because you can filter whether shooting is allowed or what equipment is there. Everything was booked on our desired date, but in general I think it’s really good.

Lena: Do you have ideas how we could improve?

Henny: Maybe a special “latex-friendly” filter – although that’s not always necessary. In general I think it’s great that you have an overview and the hosts respond quickly.

Tips for Beginners

Lena: Do you have any advice for people who want to try latex or make their partners curious?

Henny: Start small: Try gloves or stockings first. That way you see if you like the material. And be patient if you want to get your partner interested. It took me years to really discover it for myself. Pressure usually has the opposite effect. Be open to questions, exchange ideas in the community – most people are really helpful.

Conclusion

Lena: Dear Henny, aka “Heavyrubberette,” thank you for this detailed and exciting conversation. I feel like we’ve learned a lot about latex and hope our viewers have too. If you have any questions, feel free to write them in the comments or on Instagram.

Henny: Gladly, thanks for the invitation! It was really fun.

Lena: See you next time at Kinky Talk with My Playrooms. Bye!
