Hey Rubber Lovers!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mardi Gras has wrapped up for another year and the glitter is finally starting to settle. If you\u2019re anything like us, you\u2019re probably still recovering from a few big weeks of parties, parades and questionable sleep schedules. Now that Gay Christmas is over, it\u2019s time to look ahead and get on with the rest of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s plenty coming up across the rubber, leather and kink scene over the next couple of months. From play parties to dance floors and our next Sydney Rubber Social, there are lots of chances to get shiny, catch up with friends, and meet some new faces along the way. Check out thes Dates For Your Diary so you don\u2019t miss anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our last Rubber Social in February was a great reminder of why we keep doing these. Even though it landed on the same day as Fair Day, plenty of people still made their way over to Kinselas afterwards. It was fantastic to see such a solid turnout, with familiar faces and a few new ones joining the mix. Socials like these are exactly what Sydney Rubber is about. Good company, shiny gear, a drink or two, and a relaxed space for the rubber community to come together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
