gloves for dishwashing

Jeneen Sommers said:

I've decided to try to take better care of my hands
and so recently started using gloves when I do dishes.
It isn't as bad as I thought it would be. But, I've
tried 2 different brands (Playtex and Mr. Clean), and
they both leave my hands smelling like sulfur. Are
there any gloves out there that don't do this?

Get a bottle of Mavis Talc and sprinkle lightly into each glove.

Look for nitrile gloves, usually blue in color. Try your local home center.

While at Lee Valley www.leevalley.com be sure to get one of the jar
openers. I have a few around the house and gave them away to people because
I liked them so much. Simple, yet so effective.

See possible link between talc and ovarian cancer.

I use (from Costco & Bj's) "Safeskin [brand] Powder Free Latex Exam Gloves."
They come in different sizes. They are single use. (Should not be worn by
individuals allergic to natural rubber latex, but they offer latex-free
alternatives.) They slip on easily, and I love the fact that they are
throw-away. When washing up greasy pans, getting yukky left-over food out
of pans, really messy jobs, they are wonderful, just slip off and throw in
the trash.
I started using these because I had to use them to get on a compression
sleeve, but soon discovered other uses. They may seem too expensive, but I
find them a worthwhile expense.

I am very allergic to natural rubber latex and have a heck of a time
finding something I can use. Anyone out there have any ideas?

I'm not allergic, but I happen to not like the texture of the latex gloves.
I buy disposable vinyl gloves, usually in the paint department of many
stores.

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. The only nitrile gloves I've
been able to find locally are short (the water runs in when I do dishes).
I also tried neoprene gloves, which don't smell like sulfur, but get very
slippery in soapy water (not good for dishes). I'll order some longer
nitrile gloves online.

Thanks again -

There are tons of websites that have gloves in a large assortment of
materials that are not latex. Most come in disposable as well as multiple
use versions. The prices seem reasonable, too.

Duh, of course, I should have thought of that. Good answer.
