I normally do not write reviews good or bad however I'm thinking if this can save just even one person that may be suffering like I was it's worth sharing.
Shortly after entering the dental field right out of school I realized that I was allergic to the gloves, the office ordered me a powder free option but as it turns out I have a severe latex allergy. For reasons unrelated I ended up in another field and that was that.
Fast forward to 2019, following an extremely traumatic event my hands started to "break out", I was told the traumatic event had triggered and activated Palmers Psoriasis that had been dormant up until the event but I had been through worse and felt unsettled with the explanation.
Since then there have been countless episodes, specialists, pills and potions and on and on with no relief or remedy. Early this month I suffered a terrible break out; probably the worse to date, anything I touched INCLUDING PLAIN WATER or even my phone or laptop was automatically causing my hands to suffer a reaction, I even contemplated a severe water or metal allergy being the cause.
After some days of digging through books, Google, Reddit threads, X and TikTok for possible answers and solutions I realized that across the various outlests they ALL reccomended wearing gloves to protect your hands.
Over the course of a work week I searched for the perfect disposable glove that would allow me to bathe and do housework. I had compiled several glove options in my Amazon cart and meticulously compared and weeded through all of the specs and reviews and these were the final contender for a few reasons, one of them being that they sit higher on the wrist then most other options and their proposed thickness and durability also stood out to me.
When they arrived I opened them right away because I had things to do that involved me exposing my fragile hands to water. The first glove I tried on snapped and I thought what a ripoff but then I grabbed 2 more gloves and realized the first glove was just a dude.
The gloves are not very stretchy, I have pretty small hands, Medium always but these are Large and fit pretty snug. They are definitely a deep navy blue. They are not black by any stretch of the imagination if color is a concern to you because people seemed to be goong back and forth about that in other reviews.
I was able to get to my dishes which I prewash before running through the dishwasher and then the best part, I was able to take a shower and wash my hair without any water intrusion.
I changed the gloves between activities and never worse them for more than an hour so if I meal prepped for a few hours I'd change gloves frequently, they hold up to heavy duty cleaning, garbage taking and hair washing was a breeze. The gloves do not get tangled in my hair and they hold steady while applying all of my skin care such as acids and retinoids without piercing the gloves, I can see why mechanics prefer these.
Within a few days my hands stopped breaking out and began to slowly heal and now they are completely healed, I can't believe it. It's honestly a miracle. These gloves saved me more trips to the derm that never was able to truly help me despite best efforts anyways and all of the discomforts of the pain and itch.
They healed so much so that this past week I was able to bathe without them and even wash my hair which was HUGE because at one point water was breaking them out. I even washed dishes without them accidentally and my hands are still clear, I cannot say enough good things about these gloves. If you're on the fence just buy them!

Reviews with images
Pretty thick, not as much stretch
I really like these, whenever I look at gloves to purchase my one requirement is that they be longer at the cuff. These are and the fit is nice. I have noticed that they don't stretch as much as other nitrile gloves. They feel more like a cross between vinyl and nitrile gloves. Overall, I would purchase these again.
