how come when laytex gloves get wet on outside the inside gets wet too. (thoese yellow gloves)?

Question

When I do water cleaning like dipping an old rag into water bucket the outside of the gloves get wet but inside of them also get wet too why do the inside's get wet? I though those plastic latex gloves were suppose to be strong?

Answer 1

Either your hands are sweating, rub them with talcum before putting them on, or there are tiny holes in the gloves.

Answer 2

two possibilities: the first being simple. you dipped your hand too deep in the water, and you got some in the opening. try putting a rubber band around the cuff.
the second is this: your hand has started to sweat. even in cold water, your hand will sweat inside a rubber glove because it cant breathe. (you always perspire, but the rubber doesn't allow it to evaporate) try putting some baby powder or cornstarch in the glove before you put them on to absorb the perspiration.

Answer 3

Sometimes water drips down the gloves when you pull your arm up, and creeps over the edge and down into your hand. Also, very fine cracks appear on the gloves and it seeps in. You might try double gloving? Maybe you aren't noticing that you've dipped the glove's edge under water?

Answer 4

Sometimes I've thought that it was wet but really it was just the heat transferring faster out of my hands due to the water on the outside. You should check to see if it is really wet or just colder.

Answer 5

probably condensation...if the water is too hot or too cold it will condense on the other side of the membrane (in this case, gloves)

Answer 6

they are not getting wet from the outside they are getting wet from your hands sweating!

Answer 7

they are getting from your hands sweating
