Anyone have any suggestions? I need non-latex gloves that fit well. I don't need them to be sterile.

I like the "safeskin" brand purple nitrile gloves.

Could you share with me where you order them from, please?

I love nitrile gloves, but they're very spendy IMO. I use a clear vinyl glove as my non-steriles. I like the clear gloves because they're less jarring in pictures.

Most of the time when we're wearing non-steriles it's to scoop poop or to clean up bloody pads, towels, etc. To me, I need alot of them, but don't use them clinically (meaning, I don't need the fine touch afforded with nitrile gloves) to warrant the cost difference.

I order my gloves from Boston Gloves - this is what I order by the case: http://bostongloves.com/c=toBHEIu5aA...0_Gloves).html

I love Maxxim Medical's Sensicare gloves. In fact I was just ordering some on ebay at around 5.70 a box, if you buy 10 boxes. The one I like are non-latex and lightly powdered. Reorder No. 484002.

I think I like them because they fit me well, not like the loose kind. And like Pam mentioned, because they are cream colored and not in your face bright. I first used them at MLL and have always prefered them since.

I used to have my client get a box of non latex gloves as a part of the supplies they gather, but I think I will just provide my own from now on. The types of gloves that clients found were so varried and some just ill fitting so I will just stick to my sensicares.

I was at a birth last week and the sterile latex gloves had apparently started breaking down (from a little local pharmacy near where the client lived)... there were holes in them and the mw and I were getting stuck together when handing things back and forth. : I already carry non-sterile gloves in my bag but I think I'm going to get some sterile gloves too.
