.GLOVES of rubber/latex

[nost]

im new to wearing latex and just baught a pair of shoulder length latex gloves and im having some trouble getting them on.
after trying several times i was unable to get them on fully and gave up for fear of ripping them.

is there some special technique for putting on long latex gloves or do i need to lubricate them with something?


thanks

If they're tight, you will need to do something to make them go on easier.

You can 1) use powder on the inside, 2) use a lubricant like Cult or plain silicon, or 3) chlorinate them (see section on chlorination techniques.)

Good luck!

Alternatively turn them almost completely inside out just to the wrist. Pull the glove on normally ensuring fingers are comfortable then ROLL the sleeve the rest of the way up the arm. This way also helps to prevent air pockets forming.
I don't know about anyone else but due to the shape of my upper arm I have problems keeping them there once in place and have resorted to using a neck collar with straps ending with stocking-type clips (as on suspenders) on the ends.

I only use elbow length but I use a very fine powder and also roll then so once my hand is in I can roll them on.
