Why should I buy your rubber gloves instead of nitrile? Our high-quality and durable rubber gloves are reasonably priced than those made of nitrile or man-made rubber. The raw material that is used is not composed of synthetic material, making it the best essential aid for home use. When our glove is poked or punctured, the tear will not go wide enough to break the whole glove. You can still reuse it for other non-liquid exposed chores. Unlike nitrile or vinyl gloves, a slight rip can crawl and loses its usefulness. Ours is the best suitable hand gear for the household, while nitrile is for medical and industrial utility. Are the gloves susceptible to reaction? Less than 1% of the US population are hypersensitive to rubber. It is a rare condition for most people and new cases of this form are less common nowadays. One thing to know if you're sensitive to rubber is when your body reacts by just simply holding a balloon, getting bandaged, or exposed to any rubber-based product. Those people with Spina Bifida, rubber sensitivity, or those who undergo multiple medical surgeries and procedures are most likely susceptible. Why do I need these if I have a scrub brush? Your fish deserve a spotless fortress and these gloves give them just that. With an extended scrub brush, you sure can maintain the aquarium, but you'll miss some spots and grime that can accumulate over time. With these gloves, you can reach even the tightest corners with a smaller brush. You can also use them to organize the tank with precision rather than use a pole and that will only stir up dirt and cause a commotion. Are these gloves a worthwhile investment? For the price of a movie ticket, these gloves will serve you and your aquarium community for years to come. And if you have several aquariums in your home, buying multiple pairs, one for each, won't set you back by much or have you breaking the bank. Many aquarium owners don't appreciate the usefulness of gloves initially but they always come around.
