Never Again - Rip Easily, NO WAY these nitrile gloves are 3.5 mm!
I feel like an odd man out with my experience with these MedPride blue nitrile gloves. They've got a perfect 5-star rating from 5,805 reviewers and I'm sitting here trying to figure out how that's possible when I literally ripped every other pair in half just by putting them on my hands. Based on my experience, these MedPride blue nitrile gloves are extremely low quality. I have never had that problem with any other supplier of blue nitrile gloves and I've used a box every month for the past five years. I always keep a box of nitrile gloves in the garage for cleaning, working on the car, using chemicals, etc. Normally my subscribe and save order delivers a 100 count box of GNEP-1P from the Safety Zone each month and that's perfect. Unfortunately, I ran out of my normal shipment of gloves halfway through the month. So I quickly ordered what I thought was the same product on my phone. It wasn't. I accidentally bought these blue nitrile gloves from MedPride. What a mistake that was. The supplier states in the question and answer section that these are 3.5mm thick, but I find that hard to believe. The GNEP-1P blue nitrile that I normally use is 3.6mm and I've never had a problem with them ripping, especially while putting on a new pair. I was also surprised to see that these MedPride nitrile gloves were quickly damaged by cleaning chemicals that don't affect the GNEP-1P gloves in any way. The fingertips of the MedPride gloves also fell off quickly when I was cleaning with chemicals. Look, I rarely write reviews, but I felt like I should say something about my experience since medical professionals also buy these gloves. In retrospect, I should've been a little more wary of the perfect 5-star rating from all those reviewers. That just seems like a LOT of excited and happy customers for a product that failed to meet even one of my expectations for a quality blue nitrile glove. I honestly have no idea why these MedPride blue nitrile gloves are so popular. They are weaker and more expensive than others. I get the higher quality GNEP-1P's through subscribe and save for only $7.84 for a box of 100. Going forward, I can assure you I will not be buying MedPride products again.
