Type of gloves

Recommendation on gloves, do you buy a box of 100 PCs or Individual packed gloves and what material would you recommend latex or nitrile.

Just pick up a 100 box of the thinnest ones at Harbor Freight. Probably 3 mil.

I buy nitrile gloves by the box at Harbor Freight, but I use them for more than just erotic games; working with chemicals or other possibly hazardous things in my work shop, while painting ( like using my fingers for blending and other chores), cooking (especially when working with fatty meats or slapping oil on something.

My experience is that latex is not as tough or abrasive resistant as nitrile.

For occasional use or carrying in the car, single pairs in sealed packages might be a good choice, but if sterility is not an issue, one can still buy a smaller box at the local pharmacy and put a pair in a zip-lock bag - or bags and put them in a variety of locations for those unexpected moments or urgent/emergency use.

Always go for nitriles. Now pretty standard in the UK because of risk of latex allergy (staff and patients). It can be unbelievably severe. I know of one case personally which ended the career of a female surgeon.

Personally, I use rip resistant industrial grade 2-layer nitrile gloves, and wear thin white cotton under gloves. On the job, these hold up very well. For play, they also work great. The cotton gloves absorb the perspiration and stop the gloves from slipping around while working.

Shenalone,

See this link for a recent thread about gloves, types and quality when purchasing them. I wrote a few posts there about some to buy or avoid.

I buy a box of 100 latex and another of 100 nitrile, both types non-sterile that I use during play exams. I get them mail order from a medical suppliers here in England and I tend to buy the best quality as they don't split so easily while putting them on. My hands are not particularly big but I buy the large size as they fit better, the medium size can be a bit tight although it probably varies between manufacturers. I also have a few packs of individual sterile pairs but I rarely use them...

I go with nitrile in traditional blue although i have black and orange also. I buy per box as i get a pretty good deal from a supplier online.

I tend to stick with nitrile gloves these days, although I have worn latex in the past.

One bit of advice about any glove: another thing to consider is powdered vs. non powdered. This isn't much of an issue with glove materials that are non latex. But you can still find gloves on the market that are powdered. I for one have an allergy to the powder! I can wear nonpowdered latex and be fine, but powdered will send me into an allergic reaction every time.

Another good reason to use Nitrile gloves , apart from those that have latex allergies is there oil resistance. The human body naturally produces and secretes oil (also known as sebum) to keep our skin moisturised.

Back in the day when I did my very first play exam I used powdered latex gloves, I can't remember where I got them from but not out of a big box of 100. My medical equipment was very limited in those days, a few plastic speculums and the gloves and that was it. But the examination itself went very well and the woman was very pleased with the experience, although I didn't tell her it was my first time. But the gloves were a nightmare and the woman informed me that the powder had gone all over the seat of my trousers, not sure how it got there! I suppose powdered gloves are easier to get on and off as your hands do get very hot in those type of situations, but I've always used the non-powdered type since. Ok they can split while you are putting them on if you are not careful, but with a box of 100 or 200 that is not a problem...

I'd go along with the "get a box of thin non-textured non-powdered nitriles" as well. Textured can work in a pinch if thin, but I have a box of the thick black ones for work and unless you use thick lube I don't think they'd be very comfortable for extended play because of the texturing.

Box is good b/c individually packed are more expensive and not usually needed. Once you get them and have them handy you will find plenty of uses for them.

To me latex doesn't smell nice, and the nitrile don't smell. They also don't break down as fast if you are using them for cleaning or other chemical contact applications. Unless you're using oil lubes or doing really long play they should last long enough for sex play before breaking though - what was the recommendation when they were used medically? I think I remember hearing change every 30-40 mins, but can't recall.

I get blue extended cuff latex gloves

I have several pairs of the medical amber latex gloves. They are so retro, as I remember seeing these at the doctor's when I was a kid. They are a heavier latex, semi transparent, and when I rinse them off after use, I sprinkle them with talcum or baby powder and they are like new, ready for the next use.

If you are using gloves for your own personal play, I hesitate to say that it is a wise idea to reuse them. You can contaminate even yourself from multiple uses of the same pair of gloves. I would also heartily say to NEVER reuse gloves between individuals - the risk of spreading something from one person to another is too high!

Https://zoomget.com/collections/dental/products/1st-choice-3-mil-blue-exam-nitrile-disposable-gloves I've been buying these recently. I assemble furniture at work and they have great texture and are powder free.

But as far as for personal play, I usually just get the mister clean latex powdered gloves

I have a presumed latex allergy, so powder-free for me. 100 pc when I can get them.

I tend to go for the good disposable high-risk, cleanroom, or surgical gloves for “playtime”. Though I DO have some butyl hazmat, and rubber lineman's electrical gloves as well!

I'm a fan of nitrile gloves you can get at Costco, box of 100 for $10 or so. They don't smell like latex does and you can use an oil lube or combine any lubes you like for the job. I also noticed the ‘default’ outside side is a little bit rougher than the inside, so I just turn them inside out and the texture is smooth and lovely.

For me it's only latex and I like them thin and tight… I wear size large ;-)

As far as I can remember, latex is what I associated with going to the doctor. Contrary to some people, I do like the smell, but it's mostly the feeling of it that turns me on. I prefer white latex gloves rather than the natural colored ones. They need to be smooth and untextured, and slightly large. I like the ticklish rubbery soft sensation they provide.

Personal preference is the Blue, beige or purple Nitrile gloves, however I also have 100pr box of latex as well as other “specialised” gloves . . .such as for handling highly corrosive chemicals, cutting & handling glass, for high heat, for polishing metals, gloves for roping & dressed timbers

Apart from the Nitriles, Latext &pure india rubber gloves& because I enjoy working with my hands (lol), a variety of glove types play an important role in a range of pursuits outside of a medical application.

A lot of people are allergic to latex. Nitrile is safer in the long run.

I’m allergic to latex.

I can tell you what not to buy and that is powder free disposable thermoplastic elastomer. (TPE) gloves. My big dumb ass bought them twice off the internet without thinking.😡😡 You can bet it won't happen again.😁😁

What’s thermoplastic elastomer?

They are primarily used for food handling.

I always keep a box of nitrile gloves on hand. They are the most useful for what I need.

I absolutely love latex gloves. I always have some nitrile on hand, but they don’t do it for me nearly as much as classic beige latex. Something about the smell, the elasticity, and the tighter fit of latex.

The best standard exam glove, in my opinion, is Ansell DiamondGrip. I‘ve also recently enjoyed their UltraOne gloves, which have an extended cuff and are a bit thicker. Surgical gloves can also be fun, but I haven’t explored them enough to have a strong brand preference. Generally, Ansell makes very quality gloves.
