Ensure Black Nitrile Gloves – 5 Mil Heavy-Duty Disposable Gloves, Low Dermatitis, Powder & Latex Free, Chemo-Rated

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 dud. 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!

These are nice gloves. I use them for cutting up wild game and in the kitchen to handle hot food like cutting up a turkey or ham right after being cooked. They do not tear like some other cheaper gloves.

i stick with these because they have everything i want and nothing i don't want. they're not indestructible; when i use them to work on the car i may have to change them, but they do the job. mostly i use them for cooking, cleaning, and for 3d printing, and they protect my hands through all of it. they're easy to slip on, because they're flexible enough to blow up like a balloon beforehand (pro tip), the cuffs are long unlike most of the other brands, and they have no foul smell at all. equally important: they're priced in such a way that all this equals a great value. that's what i'm looking for.

It's the Goldilocks of gloves and have been buying it for years

As described, works great.

The reason I bought these was not medical. I got them for cooking. I don't like to touch raw meat. Especially poultry. Within that context, I find these gloves really good. They're easy to get on and off. I have wide hands and short thick fingers for a woman. These have a snug to the skin fit which I like. The material is durable and fairly tough. I rarely rip the wrist when trying to get them on. I don't feel like I sacrifice much in feel/ sensitivity with these gloves. I can also wash my hands with the gloves on and continue to work in them as needed until my meal prep is completed. They are also great for other purposes such as working with paint or greasy things that would stain your skin. I've purchased these twice so far and plan to get more in the future.

The absolute best thing about these is the wrists! They cover more of your wrists then standard size gloves. I am always splashing, smearing or splattering things on the inside of my wrists with standard size gloves. These decreased this by 95% and I am so grateful for since clothing dye doesn’t wash off easily like hair dye. I ordered a medium and wish I’d purchase larges. I have large hands for a women and while I can get them on, they are very snug! So men should get a large or bigger unless you gave extreme tiny hands! They are fairly durable. I’ve yet to have any of my rings poke a hole in them. They have textured finger tips I assume for gripping but honestly doesn’t really make a difference for that purpose, that I’ve noticed anyways. However if you are using them for any internal purposes, sexual of not, then turn them inside out first. ( be you have non-powdered gloves before doing so) they will irritate and even seem abrasive on more very sensitive areas!! And lastly if you are looking for black gloves these are not black they look more like a very very dark blue but are not a true black!! (See photo.) I’ve used a tv screen to compare the colors.

I have the carbamate group allergy. I can wear these. So grateful to have accelerant free gloves.
