Tell me about yourself?
My name is Brigitte Graber, I was born 1965 in Switzerland. I am a latex manufacturer and founder of the GummiBar Association
How did you discover the world of fashion design and fetishism?
I actually never discovered the world of fashion design but fetishism. In my late 20s I had the feeling that my sex life was boring and not satisfying. Therefore I decided to check out all sex stores close by and ended up in a fetish boutique. I was very fascinated by all the bizarre things I saw. A big collection of fetish magazines attracted my attention. In it I saw all the pictures from the fetish parties and knew instantly that I had to go to such parties.
What inspired you to create Superliquid?
My decision to go to a fetish party was fixed. But there was the dress code.
I was a single mother and my budget for an extraordinary appearance was rather modest. Therefore, I made my first outfit with PVC and garden hoses. People loved it and I loved the parties.
The inspiration to start Superliquid was by losing my job as a production manager in an advertising agency. This was the point where I decided to make my hobby a profession. I founded my latex factory in 1999.
What brought you to the idea of making designer fashion wear for people who are interested in feminization and sissification, adult baby fetish and medical play?
To make “fashion wear” for Sissies, Ageplayers and Medical Enthusiasts was a long way. I made bespoke orders for several years. This brought me very close to my customers. Slowly, I developed an understanding of the various fetishes. I learned that the outfits must have a function. I make items that serve the wearer’s fetish.
What inspires you?
I get inspired by my customers, because they are the experts. Most products where developed on the basis of a customer request.
Tell me about your product range?
We still manufacture a lot of bespoke orders. We mainly produce under the label KinkyDiapers leak proof diaper covers for the Diaper Lover Community. Further we have Rompers, Playsuits, dungarees, head and footwear for the Ageplayers. We also offer a range of Sissy dresses or sleep wear. The medical outfits are more likely a niche niche product.
What are your products made from?
The products offered by Superliquid are produced with 100% natural latex material. In other words: These garments are fabricated with a renewable and CO2-neutral row material, which has the inherent advantage, that it has been harvested by hand in an ecologically sustainable and nature preserving way.
What is it like to wear latex?
Since the end of 2016 our studio is located in Tallinn, Estonia. Each of our products is carefully made by hand. The question of how latex feels when it is worn, or what kind of feelings it gives to the wearer is very difficult to answer. This, you should ask my customers. The reasons why someone is wearing latex, and in what form, are very different. Therefore, the latex can trigger very different feelings and associations.
How does it feel to wear fetish wear which fulfills a person’s fantasy or desire?
This question is also hard to answer. I get many feedback from my customers, where the word happy often occurs.
Would you recommend other people try fetish designer clothing? How would you introduce fetish wear into a relationship?
From an objective point of view, regrettably fetishes are still subject to the ICD 10 standard of the WHO. Fetish has so far nothing to do with fashion. Having a fetish is like being gay. One is born with it. Would you advise someone to try it once with same-sex? The question of how to introduce a fetish into a relationship is however a very important one. In my opinion, it is important that you speak about your fetish as early as possible in a relationship. Unfortunately, many people still run away screaming when you tell them that you like to wear diapers, wearing pretty dresses as a man , or slip into the role of a toddler. Many fetishists secretly live their fetish. This leads to considerable psycho-social frustrations. It would be appreciated if society could be more differentiated with different sexual preferences.
Superliquid’s designer fashion collaborate the concepts of latex and fetishes into the one product. What are the benefits of wearing latex for medical play?
I guess there is no advantage to wear latex medical items. It is just that there are people who have a medical and a latex fetish.
We have seen famous celebrities in the media like Miley Cyrus and Melanie Martinez wear adult baby clothes in their music videos. Why do people enjoy wearing cute adult baby clothes? Is it a fad or a fetish or both?
In my opinion it is neither nor. The media always needs something new, preferably oblique. Since 50 Shades of Gray, the popular theme SM is boring. Let’s see what else there is. The adult baby is a very old phenomenon and many bABies are asexual. Therefore, I would not necessarily speak of a fetish in the context of an adult baby.
Superliquid has a range of Kinky Diapers, what are the benefits of wearing Kinky Diapers?
Due to the fused (glued) seams, our rubber pants offer a high level of protection against leaks from saturated diaper pads in comparison with under-garments put together with stitched seams. An optimal protection to prevent leaking around the upper thighs can only be provided by well-designed rubber pants.
All our pants are available in custom-made sizes according to the wearer’s measurements. Our diaper covers are durable to allow extended usage, do not contain any hazardous chemical softeners and are offered in many different colours.
What are your best sellers?
Our best sellers are definitely our lockable pants and in our category for adult baby clothes it is the Latex Playsuit.
