Buy nitrile gloves, medical personell in the army are beginning to use them. It is also used in condoms for those with sensitivity issues. In my experience nitrile gloves feel much better and are easier to work with. Try looking for them at drugstore.com or search engines. Definately worth the extra money and not having to use rubber gloves.
