    Rubber Gloves

    I need to know where I can find some good quality rubber dr gloves to blow up on my head. I used to get some from walmart that worked great every time but they stopped carrying them. Now I've tried pretty much ever type wally world and Walgreen's have and they keep breaking when I try an stretch them over my head. Ideas anyone? Thanks.

        I'm not sure where to get them, but try to get nitrile gloves over latex ones. It's (the blue ones) and it's stronger.

        That being said, I dunno if it's blow-up-able.

          I did quick search to see if I could figure out which latex gloves were stretchy and which weren't, but didn't get that far...



          I'm not sure which kind these are, but I want to know why they chose that picture on that box. ...why is he examining LEGO?


          Back on track though, when googling: medical supply store latex gloves, you can find a lot online supply stores and you could possibly order a few different kinds and see which is which. I see boxes for 5 or 6 dollars.

          I used to snag a couple at doctors appointments and back when I worked at the deli. They're always in the labelled box. Remember the label.

          Well, maybe I WILL just keep telling myself that.

            Customs Officers seem to have a good supplier, they don't want them to break either.
            Maybe next time you cross a border you could ask.

              Any Joy?

              Did you have any joy?
              I wanna buy some also - but unsure of which variety to get. Which brand should I go for?
              I found these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...link:middle:uk
              But figure they are probably low grade at that price.
              Also wondering what size to go for - I guess the bigger the better - but dont wanna be blowing my gasket as the glove fills the room?!
              Found these Nitrile ones also

              Do they blow up?

                My instinct would be to get a couple different brands and see. Half of them will go to waste, but then you'll know.

                And who knows, you might be able to use the others yet, if you find yourself, say... gutting fish on you down time.

                Or designing a costume made out of them?? ...ewy.

                  PS: Firenix -- my freaking cupcake e-mail keeps bouncing. And it's SO important.

                      done and done.
                      it's ridiculous now.
                      ...I just became DETERMined to get it to stop bouncing.
