My new reusable silicone gloves just came in they are wonderful. I will use these with arm guards or sleeves. I bought them off of Temu they are way better then nitrile gloves. For me nitrile gloves are to small or to big med to small and large the wrists fall down because my wrist are very thin. I can't wait to try these I will let everyone know how I like them after I use them but I can tell already I love them

Hi all!

I was hoping to get advice on what kind of gloves you use. I saw a post from @Kari Howie recommending nitrile gloves, but how about reusable gloves?

I had used kitchen gloves at first, I liked how far up my arm they go and how thick, but now I realized the lye has been slowly eating through them…
I use nitrile gloves-re-wear them till they rip. Need to be able to “feel” what I am working on and regular gloves do not allow the feel I like.

I can’t wear those at all but find my nitriles are the bomb (for me).

Well I tried out these gloves today and I do like them but there is a problem with them one lint and hair stick to them when you dry them with a towel two not good for handling lye. When my finger touched the lye as I was pouring it out all the little beads of lye stuck to the glove then they started falling off bouncing around on the counter my first mes with lye. Not so good it was like styrofoam balls sticking to a balloon. Other then that I like them.
