The Latex List

And we’re off! While this is as comprehensive as I’ve figured out thus far, there are no doubt plenty of products containing latex that I’ve missed. I’ll continue to add to it as I find more things and continue to party with my latex allergy! (List of latex-free products to come.) Be sure to check the brand before you automatically ditch everything, as well as the product itself- yours just may be made of plastic or something else safe!
