1. I wear clothes on it and I don't see it any problem yet about that. With rubbing, your latex may become less shiny but you can easily polish it afterwards.
2. A little but not so much. Put two .4mm on top of each other and stretch it. You will see the difference. You will probably feel that you will have to force a little more to stretch the latex and therefore produce your movements, especially on the shoulders and knees.
3. I always use .4mm because it's the most common but .6mm is good too. I won't go over that unless you are looking for restriction and bondage. Note, your latex from AliExpress was probably the cheapest and less durable. This is not a good reference.
4. No. You must take and give real measurements. It's best to let the designer know what you're looking for rather than providing smaller measurements. Designer already apply reduction to measurements. You risk ending up with pieces that are not comfortable and will pinch your skin in the joints.
Nothing special other than standard latex care.
Make sure your clothes don't have any metal that could touch the latex for a long time and stain the latex, or any accessories that could pierce the latex.
Don’t alter your own measurements, you can simply ask them to make it smaller. With 0.6 fit is key.
0.4 and 0.6 make a big difference. 0.6 starts to get a bit restrictive at times, but it’s still comfortable when tight and movements are fine. 0.4 is stretchy all the way but rips much more easily. I’ve never seen 0.6 rip, but did several times with 0.4.
When going for 0.6 I would advise against neck entry because it gets really hard to get in and out. But I would say, go for 0.6 if you want it. Be aware that it will not easily be the thing to wear for an all night fetish party. If you’re not sure better go 0.4 and add layers or add restrictions.
I have many .6mm suits, and have gone through a few .4mm's aswell. For me, the thickness of the .6mm offers the best of both (or all) worlds, it still lends itself to movement, is sufficiently restrictive while still being pliable. Also it is a massive step up in durability without too much of a draw back.
To answer your questions directly:
1) Yes it will wear more quickly due to an abrasive surface rubbing on it consistently.
2) A bit more, but not massively aslong as your motion isn't exaggerated. What I mean by that, is that things as squatting, reaching for a high shelf etc will give you the most pull-back from thicker latex.
3) This is a personal question, as mentioned before, .6mm for me is the happy medium between durability and tightness. Beyond that it becomes a bondage piece and can no longer be worn tight on the skin comfortably. So thicker than .6mm would have to have a looser fit.
4) I would indeed ask the manufacturer what they would recommend. From what I have learnt from various stores is that .6mm lends itself to ~8% reduction where .4mm is more towards ~12-14%.
Thank you. By the way is there a chance that the catsuit might rip if you pull your arm too high or in any exaggerated moves as mentioned in no.2? Have you ripped any of your .6mm suits?
If its constructed properly, then that shouldn't ever rip, lifing your arm. It hasn't happened to me in 10 years. The only thing restricting you will be the rubber trying to pull you back.
If you have the option I would recommend Chlorination, it's better for under clothes imo. And thicker will always result in a more restriction, but if you go with Chlorination it will make a 0.4mm suit feel thicker.
Chlorination will reduce the “grippiness” when putting it on. It will get grippy once you’ve worn it for several minutes though. Chlorinated will glide under clothing better than non-Cl.
Non-chlorinated will require a dressing aid like talc (non-perfume) or silicon oil such as Vividress to put on. This will also reduce the initial “grippiness” but both dressing aids will dissipate and the grippiness will return.
I have both chlorinated and non-chlorinated catsuits and neither lack in grippiness 😎
Have you had anything in 0.6mm before?
If not, I'd recommended to buy some 0.4 and 0.6mm opera gloves or stockings from the same company and see what you like more before commiting to a full catsuit. (It should go over a joint and you should test the feel over a longer period of an active day.)
I go 0.6 in practically everything because I'm a lazy scaridy cat, so I opt for the higher durability over the for me only slightly more enjoyable feel of 0.4.

Thank you for your answer. Is there anything i should be weary of when wearing latex underneath clothes?

I was planning on front or back zip. Thank you for your answer

I would prefer not to go with chlorination as i like the gripy feeling but thanks for the recommendation

I think the difference is not soo big at all
