    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:

    Yes I use these too and would recommend them, just looked at my spare packet under the sink and they are called 'edatex' ( must sort that cupboard out,bit of a hell hole) Hope this helps.
  • Though I'm a big Lidl/own brand etc fan, I find it pays to buy quality gloves that last ages and are comfy to wear. I've had a pair of these over a year now, and still going strong:

    A tenner :eek: for a pair of gloves seems a lot, but they pay for themselves in the long run.

    Another vote for Lakeland gloves. The yellow tipped ones aren't flocked but the Dermalux ones are just as good. They both last ages, in fact I don't think I've thrown a pair away yet!

    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.

    I get the Boots rubber gloves and find they do last for ages. I agree with you about them hiding them, last time I got mine I went round the store 3 times before I found them, next to the tissues, on a lower shelf!

    Can anyone wear someone else's rubber gloves? <<shudders>>

    Don't really have a choice about wearing my mum's! I've no problem with it as long as I know who's had them. I wouldn't like to put on any old pair of gloves I've picked up from off the side at work for instance, but gloves that I "know" I'm fine with.

    Mind it did drive me mad how she manages to get them wet inside!
