Around the age of 22 I started getting eczema on my hands. It started out as a little patch on each hand and then quickly consumed the tops of my hands. No matter how much lotion I put on it still remains dry and itchy – I resist itching since I can get cracks and bleeding.. I am very nervous to use new lotions and cannot use anything medical grade due to nursing right now so I have to be extremely careful using water.
I have recently started using gloves in the kitchen. I tried the kind you can reuse and the water would just get in the gloves or my hands would start to sweat then the material would actually make everything 10x worse. I’d have itching and horrible burning that just wouldn’t go away. So now I’m using noble gloves.. They don’t feel like I’m wearing gloves and best of all they’re not letting in any water to irritate my hands! It might not be the greenest option – but they’re allowing me to not use chemicals on my hands and sometimes I can get multiple uses out of them.
I use them whenever I’m cleaning raw meat or poultry, doing the dishes, and of course when cleaning baby things under the burning hot water! I like to use them for food prep too – I use them to wash the fruit/veg and then even chopping – hello no more smelly fingers from garlic or burning my eyes after touching them with Jalapeno hands! Acid from chopping tomatoes would really irritate my skin – not anymore!
Using these gloves helped my hands tremendously. The fact that they’re powder free and vinyl is a plus since those can be known irritants. So what’s my favorite thing to make using these gloves? Pico De Gallo! Yum 🙂 So happy I stumbled across these gloves from The Webstaurant Store! Check them out on Facebook and Twitter. They have so many things for of course restaurants but home cooks as well!

Thanks for the review. I don’t have eczema but I do need to buy some gloves for handling some foods in the kitchen. We like spicy foods so I need something for when I am chopping the hot peppers.

Oh wow! I have eczema too and these are perfect for the kitchen, but my goddaughter has leukemia and my best friend is back to work part time so I have my goddaughter 2-3 days a week. We have to wear gloves when changing her diaper and handling her oral medication. Along with the eczema I have an awful reaction to the hospital gloves (I’ve tried many kinds, and they all make my hands red, irritated and raw feeling). So I wonder if they’d be good enough for that too? The price is great though, I think I am going to have to get them.

The price is incredible! I sometimes use them to do the cloth diaper laundry. (unstuffing the dirty diapers – gag!)

I don’t have eczema, but have a friend with a daughter that has it bad on her hands. I will have to tell her about these.

I like using gloves when I handle raw meat/poultry. I have contact dermatitis so these gloves could help me out when it’s things I touch that cause an allergic reaction.

I have eczema as well and it’s gotten worse after this last pregnancy. I wear gloves all the time in the kitchen

That price is incredible! I recently bought a box of 50 gloves for like $9 :/
I always wear gloves when I have to wash cloth diapers, cleaning the bathroom, and using other cleaning products. Getting the case of 1,000 right now!!
Thank you so much!

I really need something like that. I have eczema too & a lot of the same issues with typical gloves that you mentioned.
