CasabellaWaterBlock Gloves Medium Blue

I've worn these gloves for years, buying them at Whole Foods where the only color available is hot pink. So happy to have found these in a pleasant light blue. They last unless you come in contact with a knife and slit an opening where water can get in. Don't do that! Couldn't remember what size I'd been wearing so I ordered the medium, which were way to big. Returned them and got the small. All of that transacted in just two days (thank you Prime). The small are a bit tight to get on at first, past the wrist, but then fit perfectly without excess material dangling at the fingertips or bunching in the palm, the way the medium fit me. I wear a size 7 glove, size 5-5.5 ring, and am happy with the small size. They are pricier than most kitchen gloves, but they're worth it for the way they're made and last.

Casabella are the ONLY gloves I’ve been using for several years now; the only gloves I’ll wear for cleaning my house, and I have separate pairs in my kitchen & each bathroom. However, I now only buy the pink ones. The aqua ones, for reasons I do not understand, aren’t as thick and they’re also harder to take off (the inner lining is different). The pink ones slide right off my hands, but the aqua ones do not. I now see that they also make them in black, so I’ll have to give them a try. But I highly recommend these gloves - the pink ones only though. They really last too, making the price worth it. I buy them thru Subscribe & Save, thus getting them for even less.

I used these gloves for years and then they stopped making them. When they came back the sizing was different and they were sticky inside making it hard to take them on and off. They seem to have fixed that. The sizing is still different though and a medium is a small. But the gloves are still nice and thick and I think they will last better than other brands.

They are a difficult to put on due to lack of cotton lining.Length is very good. I have an identical pair, but the inside is very smooth, not catching on my skin. Same on outside. Others are very smooth to the touch, These are rubbery feeling. Quality is good, as is durability of the Rubber. Wouldn't wear them for any length of time. Suggest looking for cotton lined (flocked).

These are worth the little extra money. They last a long time. They are long, the cuff is small and stays folded to keep water from dripping down the arms. They are flexible enough for movement and gripping items. They hold up well in very hot water. Cheaper brands always got holes in them quickly, not these.

11/11/23 Update: Skip the blue ones and buy the hot pink ones. Also, I haven't seen the word "Premium" in the name for a few years, instead they are called Casabella's Waterblock Gloves. I've been buying hot pink ones for several years now, so with confidence I say they're great! They last a good long time (months) before getting a bit sticky. When the stickiness gets bothersome, I just open a new box. I always have two sets: one pair for kitchen clean up, and another for house cleaning. Be aware that using these gloves with bleach will break down the material. They'll get sticky right away and may tear too. For gloves to use with bleach, see the last paragraph below.Original post from 2020: These blue Casabella gloves are inferior in quality… not what I’ve experienced with other Casabella gloves. 

I have Casabella's Premium Waterblock Gloves from Bed, Bath, & Beyond, and those are fantastic. What I received from this seller are Casabella Waterblock Gloves - Not Premium. Initially I thought that was the issue, but turns out these blue ones are just an inferior quality... the two pairs I received anyway. They are a nuisance to put on because 1) it seems there is no lining, 2) the fit is narrow through the palm, and 3) after a week or so they start breaking down, so putting them on gets more challenging due to increased stickiness. Even the fingertips started sticking together on the inside. They are also somewhat sticky on the outside... something I only experienced with an old pair of BBB's Premium version after using those when doing some laundry with bleach - which I now know will break down these gloves. Hoping for an exchange for the Premium gloves, I sent a message to the seller via the Amazon Message Center, so I'll update this review when I hear back. For now though, just want to give you all a heads up.6/10/20 Update on Communication with Seller:The seller responded with an apology and refund. I was hoping for an exchange for the premium gloves, although there was no mention of that possibility in the response.6/10/20 Update on the Gloves:They are indeed smaller than my BB&B premium gloves - only in the width though - by approximately ¼" AND, as stated, feel like unlined rubber that easily breaks down leaving them sticky on the inside and the outside. For reference, my palm is between 3-3¼" across. On a positive note, relative to the fingertips sticking together on the inside, they are easier to pull apart than those of disposable gloves that have been used and, for re-use, have been washed on the outside with soap and water. So, even though I do not recommend these blue gloves, if your hands are more narrow than mine, then maybe these will be okay for you.FYI, if you need gloves for use when handling bleach… these Vinyl or Polyvinyl Gloves recommendations were given to me by a Casabella rep:1) Mr. Clean: The Bliss (at Amazon, Target, and Ace Hardware)2) Clean Ones: Pure Comfort (at Amazon, Costco, major grocery stores, and BJ’s)3) Clorox: The Sensitive Choice (at Lowe’s)

Based on some reviews claiming these ran small I ordered the large. That was dumb. They are huge! Floppy, unsafe, and no fun to use. I’m going to throw them away. Better than to continue using them and drop a glass.

This brand of rubber gloves is the best I’ve found.Repeat customer.

I have been using this brand of rubber gloves for washing dishes for a few years now. They are absolutely the best ones I have ever used. They last for a very long time, up to six months. I'm a size 7 glove and the Small fits perfectly.

This is the second time I’ve bought these gloves, besides a pink set for cleaning and another set for my mother. These are watertight, have good grips on the fingertips and still somehow seem to breathe and avoid getting sweaty. The cuff at the bottom is a great design feature too.

These don’t seem like the quality of the CasaBella gloves I expect. Have used these for years and CasaBella brand are my favourite gloves. The cardboard package these gloves came in was shorter than usual, it’s usually quite a long package. The inside of the gloves doesn’t seem to have the thick flocking I am used to. The gloves seem a bit flimsier and a are bit floppy. I am wondering if these ones are knock offs and not the real CasaBella gloves.

These are the first pair of small dishwashing gloves which fit however I can't justify spending this much for dishwashing gloves again. They are much too costly to ever buy again
