So I use all types of rubber gloves from marigolds (way too costly) to Morrisons own. I have some good quality black ones as well etc. for those heavier jobs.
However, I have been using one of those 100 packs of disposables for jobs like electrical work or cleaning from the plastic fantastic shops. Trouble is XL size is not easy to get. Also they hardly cover the hand let alone the wrist. Recently I thought I'd upgrade to some superior ones like so called "surgical gloves" and WOW, there are dozens of types to have to choose from. I chose these in the end. They seem very good but postage is a PITA.

So what do you all use? Or better what do you recommend? I don't want to be spending 50 quid on a couple of pairs..................£3 or £4 for a box of 100 in XL is about all I want to pay.

TrueTouch latex from my local farm store. About a fiver for 100 I think, they last as well as any disposables.

Standard blue vinyl gloves from Makro... theres a box of L and a box of M in the cupboard but I'm fairly sure they do XL

Definitely XL. Looking at a box right now, I get mine in Mole Valley Farmers, which owns farm store chains across the UK so I reckon they're there somewhere!

I wonder when the Lettuce eating bedwetters start complaining about the latex gloves not being truly environmentally friendly.

If the campaign for plastics bags shows we must reuse old ones or buy canvas types, then we can see latex gloves will be next.

Not forgetting Barrier Cream to prevent deamititus causes the globe to suffer from hiccups and farts of volcanic proportion. Are Condoms biodegradable

have bought quite a few boxes off the same seller now.... all good IME.

Vinyl gloves don't stretch and restrict movement, latex can give an allergic reaction, especially the powdered ones. Stick to nitrile for disposables, or mechanics gloves. Disposables allow better "feel" when working with fiddly bolts, screws etc.

Yeh must admit when putting on the latex gloves with power inside on my todger tends to make it sore when having a bit

Could explain my recent bout of confusion when using condoms for oiling the car
