Rubber Gloves?

Comments

  • Another one for BizzyBee gloves here (these ones: http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=265384847 ). I suffer from very bad eczema on my hands so need unlined gloves. These ones do very well and survive quite a long time, probably because they're a bit thicker.
    Making mistakes is not the end of the world, though it often feels that way!

    Cheers guys, I am currently using the Waitrose ones. Was hoping there might be some cheaper ones but thinking about it they have lasted for ages! I think I'd best get a couple of spare pairs in case I one day need some new ones and then find they've stopped stocking them in my local store.

    I've been buying the ones out of home bargains as of late they are about 59/69p and last well the gloves are pink and they are in a pink and blue packet I think

    I used to get purple ones which I think we're made by sponges and they were brill and lasted ages but they stopped doing them :mad:

    Wilkinsons - I use Stardrops which eats gloves, even M+rigolds.


    I must look at H&B's gloves, good price :)
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.

    If you have Exzema, find out the cause and ban it from your life! I am allergic to Phenoxyethanol which is in many washing-up liquids as well as toiletries so I avoid those as well as using gloves.
    As another poster said, ones with holes in can still be used. I mark an X with a permanent marker.
    I recently bought a pack of 2 pairs of rubber gloves and they are all left hand ones! We live too far from the shop to take them back. I'll try turning some of them inside out!

    Another vote for Marigolds - have tried loads of others but keep going back as they are better VFM.
  • Has anyone found cheap latex-free gloves? I'm allergic to latex and buy my washing up gloves in T*sco but they are so expensive, and if a tiny bit of water gets inside them they smell terrible and have to be thrown away. help!

    I'm not sure if they still do them but I've always like the rubber gloves from IKEA. They were always fairly cheap and I would stock up when I visited.

    Boots do them, they are £2.39 a pair, and you will find them in the section that has the allergy products, like the washing up liquid, and soaps, or have to ask for them, every boots I go into they do not put them with other rubber gloves. It is a trial to find them.

    why not use the cheap disposable plastic gloves if you have a latex allergy?
