Latex Gloves!

[LeanneC]

Hi

I orderd a box of latex free gloves from my local Lloyds chemist on tueday and picked them up today...They only cost £3.35 for a 100. Only problem we thought the samll size would be ok...only to find they are a little to snug doh! Will ahve to et medium next time. If you know anyone working for the NHS though I'm sure you can get some off them for nowt my SIL and Mum work for the NHS so I'm going to pester them.

i have been advised by someone who works for salford childrens information project it is recommended that we also wear disposable aprons as well as gloves !

Now that is just being ridiculous!!
Can you imagine, you'd spend all day just putting aprons on and off
I don't use gloves at all, just good old fashioned handwashing, anti bac wipes for the mat, baby wipes or soap and water for the babies, and I keep hand gel in the changing box in case I can't get to wash my hands for reasons of supervision.
I have a personal hygiene plan for all children offering the parents choice of me changing nappies with or without gloves and all have chosen without, therefore I am working with the wishes of the parents!

Many people have allergys to latex so vinyl is recommended you can buy from a pound shop if you have one £1.00 for 10 pairs . My local Asda does sell them too but it is a hypermarket. They are also excellent for applying fake tan(if you have the time) LOL

Not sure about latex for nappy changing but we're supposed to have latex free in our first aid boxes due to allergies so can't help wondering if its the same...

I'm allergic to latex anyway so have to buy vinyl ones but I don't think they're a lot dearer.

me too mine are blue latex free and expensive

You can buy a box of 100 vinyl gloves of ebay for 2.85 inc delivery.
