Not using for their intended use.
Okay this review is going to be different. I don't use these gloves for the intended purpose. I have Parkinson's disease and have developed a tick called Pill Rolling. Imaging holding a pill in between your thumb and fingers and rolling that pill between them constantly. I do this every waking moment and it has caused the end of my fingers to wear down to the nerve endings causing a great amount of pain. I was given a prescription drug that helped a bit but with too many negative did affects. My Physical Therapist came up with the idea to cover the tip of each fingers and suggested finger cots. These are finger size condoms used by doctors and other professions for protection. I tried these. Ordered them right here at Amazo in fact. They seem to help but after a couple of hours they began cutting off the blood supply to the fingers making them ache horribly. I tried band aids next and then even Duct tape with little help. I almost gave up until I saw my Sister-In-Law doing something strange one evening when she was visiting. Before going to bed she covered her hands using a product called Bag Balm and slid her hands into these cotton gloves. The Balm she claims kept her hands soft. That gave me the idea to try using the the technique on my hands. Well it worked. My finger tips were fine during the night but I still had problems during the day. Out of desperation I put a glove on each hand and thank goodness it worked. My Pill Rolling didn't stop but the gloves prevented the skin to skin contact which cause the pain. What the heck. It looked funny but because I live alone and only have aids and nurses visiting during the day I didn't care. The important thing was the pain was gone. Unfortunately though all my computers and phone don't work with your finger tips covered. This problem was solved by cutting the index finger off about two inches on each glove allowing the fingers to make contact with the touch screens. Okay so the gloves are being used for something completely different but they were sort of a blessing.
