Silicone will keep its shape, so this particular type of hood is just in the box without any concern of it creasing.
1. Loosen each of the straps but don’t take them off completely.
2. Put on your head.
3. Tighten the straps to fit.
4. If you find there is excess on the straps you can cut them down, but do this with them in the correct position for your head size, and leave plenty of strap to attach to itself.
Play, storage and travelling
Silicone rubber won’t create, and it can withstand temperatures from around -60°C to 230°C so rough play shouldn’t be a problem. However, hoods created before February 2023 are a little susceptible to a strap being torn (with enough force) from the main part. Those created later have much stronger reinforcement.
You can just shove it in a bag, suitcase, or drawer without worrying about creasing it.
Washing Silicone Rubber Gear
The quickest way is just to rinse it with water and give it a good shake. Unlike natural rubber latex, water just rolls off it.
Using Vivishine is perfectly fine; we have tested it and it doesn’t harm the particular type of silicone that we use.
