Many use gloves for different activities I see them being used while washing dishes, doing gardening and woolen gloves are used for keeping oneself warm. There are ,many type of gloves and as for me the only time I use them is when I dye my hair These days dyes can be used as one would use a shampoo and it is all in a matter of minutes. I did buy a pair of woolen gloves for use on a foreign trip Surgeons and nurses also use gloves for various activities in hospitals. Even dealing with animals there are certain activities that call for gloves. I also saw a photo of a bride wearing silk gloves. Do you use gloves and for which activity? Image credit:

I planned to buy a glove to use while washing dishes since last year, but I haven't bought it until now. Reading your post reminds me that I need to buy one for washing the dishes.

I put on gloves when I am planting my garden. I put on gloves when I am painting and doing yard work and different types of gloves when it is cold in the winter.

I use washing gloves to clean the comfort room. Once in a while, I use plastic disposable gloves when eating in my favorite restaurant, where you could eat with your bare hands.

@allknowing They are plastic gloves used for eating or mixing food, like the one above. Image from Lazada.com By the way, the comfort room is the bathroom or the john.

I use gloves for gardening. We wore gloves in the past when we were very elegant to go to the Sunday Mass. Now I never wear gloves, not even woolen gloves in winter.

That happens to all of us In our younger days we want everything prim and proper and later we gradually give up all that

@allknowing Women do not wear a hat and gloves to go to Church anymore. Almost no one goes to church anymore in our days.

Gloves are not as common as they used to be. In the old days gentlemen always wore gloves at dances so they wouldn't soil a lady's dress with their sweaty hands. I often think that should be brought back!

The kind of dancing one sees these days I hardly see men holding women while dancing They are all solo dances.

I use gloves when I wash dishes, preparing foods such as raw fish and raw meat.

I used to use gloves while cleaning, and I used to wear gloves when giving my dog a bath. Now though, I take my dog to a professional groomer.

With disinfectants available I suppose we can always wash our hands when we do not use gloves

Once in awhile I use disposable gloves around the house. Mostly the only time I wear gloves are cotton ones in the winter.

Only dishwashing gloves now. I have one pair of knit gloves that cost a dollar for winter. They do not keep my hands warm.
