All about the thumbs. And the wrist. and the hem. The fabric is pretty great too.
This winter, I was plagued by skin problems on my fingertips. Flaking peeling skin, callouses, cracking and bleeding, to the point where normal tasks, like opening the toothpaste, were painful. Then I got a spate of dermatitis herpetiformosis, an eczema-like rash associated with celiac disease. Have had celiac for over a decade, the rash, never. So, I decided to get some natural product to avoid steroids, and some gloves to keep it on for several hours.I selected these gloves for the price and quantity. I have had moisturizing gloves in the past. pretty ones from the pharmacy They are usually a thin cotton knit, cost about 5 bucks a pair and have some problems. First, they are made as if someone drew an outline of one hand, fingers, thumb and all, cut two pieces of cloth in that shape, and sewed them together. Second, the knit of the fabric is fine and thin, and like all knits of that type, with 'knit', or little "v" stitches on ones side, and 'purl' or little "u" stitches on the other, the fabric curls like crazy to the "v" side, so the gloves roll up your wrist.These gloves are NOT anything like that. The knit is smooth and brushed on the outside, like flannel, which makes them feel thicker. They have a good hem on the cuff to stop any roll-up. They have an amazing elastic band around the wrist to keep them in place, keeping the lotion in, and making them comfortable to work in.The seams from outer wrist to outer base of index finger go along the "trace" of your hand, but the seams are small, and don't bunch up or pinch at the V where two fingers meet. The most important thing is that the thumb is set-in, which is to say, it has its own oval seam all around the base of the thumb, in the same way a sleeve is set into a shirt. There is no distinction between left and right, meaning the thumb doesn't have extra ease to make it point more to the front of the appropriate hand, but the fabric is soft enough to make this not noticeable. The non-handedness of the gloves make them more versatile.I can do most things with these in terms of typing, and picking things up, anything where water is not involved or capacitive touch is not needed (tablet or phone screen). My Mac glide pad wasn't too keen on them, but the Kindle screen did OK.I have not tried to wash them yet, but find out that I work in a really dirty place! Owing to the number of gloves in a pack I will probably wash several pairs at once. They are machine washable, but not machine dry-able. Now I wish I had some outlines of hands in plexiglass or something to dry in shape. I guess I will just smooth them flat and hope for the best.p.s. my glove size is 7 3/4. I purchased a medium. The gloves fit comfortably with a bit of ease on ring and pinky finger.

Great for keeping moisturizer off of everything but your hands
I suffer from extremely dry hands in the winter, to the point of painful cracking. After years of hunting for a topical that would ease it I found one that contained Borage oil that seems to be able to control it, but the trouble was finding time to apply it and not get it smeared over everything. Even applied before bed, I didn't want moisturizer on my book or bed sheets. These gloves are perfect for wearing after applying moisturizer. They wash nicely (hypo-allergenic laundry soap, warm water, extra rinse) and this package has enough can wear the same pair each evening for a few days and grab another without having to wash them constantly. On really dry hand days they allow me to use my computer with moisturizer one and not get it all over the keys and mouse. The seams are a little bulky compared to the fabric thickness, but I'd rather that than have them have seams that tear out easily. They are long enough they cover my wrist a little as well.These gloves are not big. I ordered size large. Definitely women's sizing. My hands are about 8" around at the knuckles, extra large in women's gloves, and these *just barely* fit well. I'm hoping washing doesn't shrink them too much as long as I keep using warm water instead of hot. Most men I know probably have too thick of fingers to wear these comfortably, I doubt my husband could get them on.These gloves would probably be great for delicate hobby work as well. I recommend these gloves if you are looking for some very light hand protection.

I got the best results when I soaked my hands in warm water ...
This was my first attempt at using gloves to treat eczema on my hands, after struggling with numerous bandaids and finger cots without ever being able to get ahead of it. I would say that they are at least as effective, with less hassle and without the irritation of adhesives or pruney skin. I got the best results when I soaked my hands in warm water with colloidal oatmeal for a few minutes before applying ointment and gloves. By morning my hands did feel dry again, but the eczema had improved. I also found it helpful to moisten the glove material around a few trouble spots on fingers. The gloves themselves are nice quality, soft and comfortable. I was relieved that the fingers were long enough as gloves often don't fit me well in terms of the finger length. Unfortunately I put about half of the pairs through the dryer without thinking and they shrank. Still wearable, but not as comfortable. Overall, a good purchase. Not a magic bullet, but a helpful addition to my eczema care regimen. I will be recommending these to a friend and a family member who both also suffer from eczema. I'm glad I ordered this pack of 10 rather than a single pair for the same price from another vendor. These have all the features I need and are very good quality, and having multiple pairs is nice so I can use a fresh pair every night or two.

Best Gloves for keeping your hands healthy and happy!!!
I got these for my 9 year old; who is suffering from terrible finger tip eccema; so the cortisone would stay on the affected areas only. We love them they are well made, well fitted (size M), soft, and they are machine washable the package brings 20 gloves which means we can use a clean glove every day and not have to wash a single glove every day. Which is a huge deal to keep everything clean when you are using prescribed cortisone that opens the door to bad germs and infection. The only thing I would change is the elastic in the wrist it is a bit tight. The elastic is easy to undo using a seam ripper or small pair of scissors it won’t damage the gloves at all. Asides from that they are great and we love them; great price for 20 gloves. We love the fact that there is company that makes gloves for people with allergies like us. She got better after a couple of days wearing these gloves so thank you!!!
