MED PRIDE Nitrile/Vinyl Blend Exam Gloves, Powder-Free, Latex-Free, Disposable, Non-Sterile, Blue, Medium (Box of 100)

Very comfortable but easily tears at tips.

I've used these kind of throw-away gloves for years. They started out as throw-aways for medical purposes, so by design they're basically one and done, although for light use can be reused. When doing yard work, I use them as a liner for heavy duty garden gloves (which when they get wet the dirt works its way through and dirties your hands). Like all plastic gloves your hands sweat in them (a lot), which means you will be peeling them off periodically anyway. I've used them when painting, where they do great with spray cans that always seem to get paint on your trigger finger. You have enough tactile feel that you can pick up small objects (think coins). I've even used them when working with cement that needs to be shaped. If I still worked on cars, I'm quite sure they would keep grease off your hands. The one weakness is that if snagged they tear, so they're not a substitute for heavier-duty kitchen gloves, but if snagged it's just a case of taking the glove off and putting on a new one. There are heat resistant versions that you now see routinely used for professional food prep. For this type, the price is right and like Kleenex, I try to keep a couple of boxes on hand since you never know when something you are doing calls for them.

The back of the box containing these gloves state that they are "intended for Medical purposes, worn on examiner's hand or fingers." However, we've found more uses for these handy, disposable gloves, as they are good for tasks when you want to protect your hand because of sensitive skin or to prevent contamination. Such tasks include dishwashing, light gardening and soil mixing, cleaning toilets and light housework, washing cars, etc. They are quite strong -- I stretched one glove to see if it would break, tear, etc., and it did not. My primary complaint is that, if you're interested in protecting the environment, these gloves are single use only -- after using them, you dispose them. Not good for our environment. Also, some users may find that they are allergic to these gloves. Overall: recommended to all.

Look, I’m going to be real. I have some serious sensory issues. I don’t just "dislike" a mess; I am physically offended by it. If I’m making meatballs or painting a room, the feeling of that "gunk" caked on my skin is enough to make me want to retire from society. It’s a first-world problem, sure, but it’s my reality. Enter the Med Pride Nitrile/Vinyl Blend. These aren't those flimsy, supermarket-tier bags that rip the second you look at them. These are high-quality, reliable barrier protection. The Fit: Built for the 90% If you look at the bell curve of hand sizes, unless you are in the top decile (the 10% of people with actual gorilla hands), these are going to fit you like a dream. I have average hands, and they slide on so easily it’s almost cozy. There is zero constriction. They are sturdy, they don't rip when you’re pulling them on, and they don't interfere with your dexterity at all. 10 Times You’ll Thank Yourself for Wearing These: 1. The Meatball Massacre: Mixing raw meat and eggs without the fat getting under your fingernails is pure bliss. 2. Spicy Pepper Prep: No more accidental "Jalapeño Eye" three hours after cooking. 3. The "Subway Shield": Honestly, if it weren’t social suicide, I’d wear these on the train every day. People are gross. This is a tactical barrier against the "mystery pole residue." 4. The Messy Burger: Eating a juicy, cheesy, onion-laden burger with gloves on sounds crazy until you realize your hands are bone-dry and clean when you’re done. 5. Trash Juice Defense: Taking out a leaking bag? Don't let the mystery liquid touch your soul. 6. Deep-Cleaning: Keeps the bleach and the grime at a safe, professional distance. 7. Hand-Mixed Salads: Get the dressing distributed perfectly without the vinaigrette slick on your palms. 8. Painting & Staining: No more scrubbing your cuticles with turpentine for an hour. 9. Potting Plants: Get into the dirt without the grit getting stuck in your skin. 10. The "Everything" Barrier: Basically, any time life tries to put its "ick" on you, these gloves say "not today." Final Verdict These gloves are brilliant. They are essentially hand condoms for your sanity. They don't snap, they don't splatter when you roll them off, and they provide a layer of peace in a messy world. If the "first-world problem" of sticky hands feels like a genuine crisis to you, buy these. They’re comfortable enough to wear all day, the quality is exponentially better than the cheap stuff, and they save you from "the scrub." 10/10.

I have trouble with regular vinyl gloves so these Nitrile blend gloves are great. They always fit well. Easy on and off. Great price as well. I have been using these since pre-pandemic and have never had one tear on me. Other brands tear if you pull them on too hard. Very consistent quality on these gloves.

Regular purchase. We use these for everything. Have tried other brands. Always come back to these. Fit a medium sized hand well. Holdup to everything kitchen and most things project or garden well. Not chemical. Not acetone.

I use these gloves for epoxy work. I've bought 2 batches of these gloves. Used the "buy again" option to get the same ones. The first batch work we'll. Nice thin playable gloves. The second batch were much thicker and frequently rip at the cuff while putting them on. It's almost as if they are old and brittle. The inconsistent quality is a problem. I'll try one more batch, based on the price. Here's hoping.

Well they didn't tear when we put them on so they're made string enough to wear .. nice fit, true to size, not expensive.. so, we really like having them around
