On A Search

I need some help. I have never liked dish washing gloves. I tried a few over the years, but found that I prefer to wash dishes bare handed.
My son has a difficult time with the dish soaps irritating his skin and I have tried buying him numerous types. None have helped.
Now we are on a search for dish gloves that are large enough for him and that are long enough to keep his hands dry.
Do any of you have a brand suggestion ? We keep bombing out.

Wow, no, I’ve never had that problem. I’m like you, I prefer to wash the dishes with my hands.
I have a long pair of rubber gloves for cleaning things that I think I got at Walmart of Meijer, just “store brand.” There are plenty listed on Amazon, along with reviews that might help.
Sorry I couldn’t offer you more.

I got him some XL ones, but they weren’t very big. I think they may have been mislabeled.

I'm sorry, I always wash dishes bare-handed, too. I had a terrible time with Dawn dishwashing liquid as I was allergic to something in it... I switched to Palmolive back in my twenties and haven't had a problem since then.
I hope you can find some gloves that fit him and work well for washing dishes.

Maybe check on Amazon for hypoallergenic ones. Rubber or latex allergies are common enough..I bet they have something. The problem is they may cost more than you are willing to pay.

There are some called Mr Clean ..they are the white gloves..I am not sure if they are big enough though..they are cotton lined and the only ones I can use..I buy them on Amazon..Not sure if they'd have a big enough size..I know they do come in large.
My son also cannot get the soap on his hands.terrible eczema.

I never use gloves. I hate the feeling of them and my hands are so tiny I can never get ones to fit.

Other than trying a different brand of XL gloves, I don't know what to tell you. Sorry. I'd try Walmart or Amazon.

Talking about size I suppose dish washing gloves are made with females in mind.

The dish washing gloves in the photo look so thick ! There are thin ones on Tmall or TaoBao here.

I'm not sure how sturdy they are but have you tried those surgical gloves?

I am interested in this too. My daughter has hand eczema, but since she is in a dorm right now, she will have to wash her dishes. I bought her one two weeks ago but I am also want to know the others' opinion here of which is a good brand. I think I bought a Scotch-Brite glove

I don't use rubber gloves either. The hardware store is a good suggestion.

Sorry, I gave up on this too. Gloves never fit well enough that I don't fear dropping the dishes and then they get holes in the fingertips anyway and I just end up with fingers soaking in their own little individual baths of hot water and coming out all wrinkly!
