Advantages: Fit well and quite strong.
Disadvantages: None.
When it comes to cleaning my home I do like to use rubber gloves so that I can actually keep my hands more softer and so that they do not become dry etc. I sometimes do not use gloves if I am wanting to quickly wash a few dishes or just to wipe something over quickly. More often than not though I do use gloves for a good old proper clean.
I do buy the more expensive ones but I actually can across these ones while shopping in Sainsbury's and I thought I would buy them and give them a go, since they were cheap enough. They cost just 50p, they come in a transparent plastic bag with just the name on the front, also a picture of 2 hands on the front, nothing exciting about the packaging in my opinion and very basic.
The gloves are a bright yellow in colour, there are 2 pairs of gloves also in the pack and so that works out at just over 25p a pair. It tells me on the front of the bag that these are thinner ones, I actually think that these gloves are not too thin a rubber at all, they are as it says on the bag, a little thinner but I actually think they are quite thick for the price. I have small hands because I am a petite woman and I would say that these gloves would be more suitable for a woman who has smaller hands because these gloves for myself personally, have a enough room for me to move my fingers around inside the gloves but they are not generous enough in my opinion to give enough room for a man to use if he wanted to wear them. My hubby actually does not and would not wear gloves but some men do, unless you were a small man with smaller hands, then I do not think these would be suitable. I do think these would fit a woman with larger hands but I think they would feel a little tighter on the hands but for me they are just perfect.
The rubber has a lot of give and they are very easy to pull onto the hands and the fingers slot into place nicely, just like any other brand of gloves. I find when taking them off they are easy to remove and when I pull the fingers of the gloves to remove them, I have found that they do not rip or tear. They do feel comfy on the hands in just the same way as any other brand. I think these work well, they do not leak or allow any water into them, they are totally water tight. Also at the end of the fingertips, there are ridges so that they can grip onto a surface and to also hold onto a cloth comfortably without slipping. These are very durable rubber gloves and a good quality of which you would not expect when first setting eyes on them. The rubber does not feel rough on my skin while inside the gloves because the rubber is a nice soft texture but as I said durable too.
These are ideal for messy jobs around the home, I just think for the price of a pack of 2 pairs is an amazingly good value and price. I think these would be ideal to buy for if you have a large home and need a lot of gloves placed in different wet rooms around the home. If you are luckily enough to have a utility room then I just think these would be ideal to place into this room.
They are easy to keep clean with just a damp cloth over them to remove anything that may have splashed onto them etc. I just drip dry these after use in the same way as other brands. I think these are so affordable, they do the job they are designed to do and I am very pleased with the thickness and durability of them too. I would definitely buy these again in the future and for 50p for a pack of 2 pairs of gloves, well that to me is a give away price in my opinion. I really cannot fault these gloves at all, I think they are suitable for my hands and I think they are a brilliant price. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to cut down on their shopping bill and also drop a brand because these ones are just amazingly fabulous.
I give these ones 5 stars.
