...everyone must know someone who has a horror story about cutting the fingers off rubber gloves (or surgical gloves) to use as contraceptives?

In fact thinking about it there are probibly those who prefer it...

I have this one pair of those big and very very, VERY THICK super heavy black rubber gloves with yellow insides...I think they were made for high voltage electrical use. I've just read your article about people with horror stories cutting off fingers on rubber gloves. Obviousely, their rubber gloves must not have been nearly as thick and heavy as the big pair I have. I mean, I have the right hand glove laying in front of me right beside my computer's monitor...and beleive me, it's a friggin HUMONGOUS rubber glove! I didn't know they made such THICK and HUGE rubber gloves. This rubber glove is so thick, I can barely bend my fingers when I wear it!!!
I found that pair of rubber gloves in my basement when I moved in a few years ago. I have absolutely no use for those, and this is what I would like you to tell me what should I do with those huge rubber gloves...what would you do with those ???

sorry, didn't see this post until today...
those gloves sound bizarre...

as to what I would do with them? put them in a bag, in a box, seal it with duct tape and bury it in my neighbour's garden.
That is one pair of scary gloves!

I was wondering if you would dare to attemt to cut off the fingers of those HUGE, MASSIVE and SUPER THICK rubber gloves before disposing of them in your neighbour's garden...maybe then they wouldn't be as scary rubber gloves as they are now!

what would you cut them with though?
mere scissors?

I really don't think that mere scisors would be capable of cutting those MASSIVE SUPER THICK rubber gloves! I'm telling you, I've never seen such THICK rubber gloves ever, I have difficulty bending my fingers when I wear them. They are made with a shiny VERY HEAVY INDUSTRIAL BLACK GAUGE RUBBER. Those SUPER HEAVY rubber gloves are very very rare. Any ideas?

I have seen such gloves used in the sewerage industry. They have to be thick because they are used when clearing pipes of all sorts of 'debri'. Have a look around your basement and you might find an inspection trap or something similar.

The bad news is they are yellow on the outside and black on the inside to avoid mix-ups when they get caught in the pipe and are turned inside-out! I cannot imagine what you have been sticking your hand into!!

LOL !!! Those HUGE rubber gloves are made black on the OUTSIDE and yellow on the INSIDE. They are made like that. They have a rolled yellow cuff on the outside. As for the outlet hole, nope, didn't find any in my basement. Now what should I do with such a pair of MASSIVE HUGE SUPER THICK & HEAVY rubber gloves ???

In the space of the duration of this conversation, several websites have been set up devoted to the use of THICK HEAVY BLACK gloves as barrier contraception.

Ok, but what's a "contraception barrier"???

What do do with them?

One of the big black scary rubber gloves could be the monster in a horror B movie and get killed at the end (but not by elecrtrocution).

The other one could then star in the sequel and take revenge for the death of its brother.

I found this whilst looking for information on how to put on disposable latex gloves without splitting them.

I still have those super massive THICK & HUGE rubber gloves! What do you suggest I do with them???

Thanks!

Gardening? Disposal of Nuclear waste? Nappy changing?
