"Comfortable"
These gloves are very comfortable, they don't leave that powdery residue on your hands. They are thin yet durable great to re use.

"nice to wear"
I found these gloves nicer to put on & once on they do not move around due to their snug fit like normal rubber gloves. I don't know whether they are worth the extra money for the little time I wear gloves.

"quite good"
I dont normally wear gloves as I hate the bitty stuff that rubs of the inside when your hands sweat in marrigold and i hate the powdery condom smelling disposable ones even more.
I actually liked these, they have no lining and are thick enough for the dirtiest jobs but also quite comfortable to work in so all rund thumbs up here I will definatly be buying these in the future

"I really liked these gloves"
Even though I am not a glove wear'r, I occassionally buy the 'over the top' feathery/spotty types, they generally dont get used, so when I recieved these over 4 months ago, i put them on top of the pile, it wasn't till a few weeks later wheh I went to do my dishes, which had been mounting up over a good few days due to son's jam packed social life and my late night studying, that I thought about protecting my hands from 3 buckets full of hot water and eco bubbles.
My first impression of them when they came out the pack was that they didnt smell like gloves, you know, that horrid latex smell.
They felt very silky, and suprisingly, they fitted! I was given size "M" to test, yet I normally buy "L" as I feel I have 'man hands with nails'.
The first time I used them, I was pleasently suprised that I could hold tumblers, glasses & plates without them slipping, and I could feel the temperature of the water, very handy with a nearly 3 year old who likes to 'help' with the bubbles!
Well, as I say, I recieved these over 4 months ago, and I have only had to bin them this week (and I was actually a bit gutted when I did), due to a tear in the finger that I turned into a hole, rendering them pointless :(

"Not sure"
I dont really think much of these. Your hands get really hot in hot water. I think marigolds do the same job. The best thing is they are thinner than marigold so easier to get on and off....

"Not bad"
My hands are def in more hot soapy water than they were pre baby so these have def come in useful to protect my hands. I wish they provided a bit of a better barrier against heat like marigolds but then they couldn't be so think and silk like if they did. really easy to do things when wearing them.
Mmmm not sure they're for me as if i need to wear gloves i'll use some marigolds.

"Ok but nothing special!!"
I'm not a big lover of wearing gloves when I'm trying to do chores as I hate the feel of them and the fact that they leave your hands all sweaty, but I gave these gloves a go over the weekend. I must admit they did feel a lot better to wear than normal rubber gloves in that they did not have that awful rubbery sticky feeling and they didn't make my hands get all hot, but they were still not very comfy to wear and definately did not make me feel that they were "invisible", although they were a little bit too big for me so that probably didn't help. The fact that they are re-useable is ok, but because I used mine to clean the bathroom I would only re-use them to do the same room again, i wouldnt feel happy using them to clean the kitchen for example, whether I had rinsed them or not.
All in all these gloves were ok, but i dont think they were anything special or that different to products already on the market and I probably would not go out of my way to buy them. i will continue to use the ones I have to clean my bathroom though.

I enjoyed using these gloves however they were slightly big for me. I found them to be practical and useful for about the house. Basically they did what was stated on the label. On the other hand I could not see myself rushing out to buy them - unless they were only a pound.

"will now always use gloves"
I had never used gloves to do any cleaning or washing up around the house, then I received the invisible gloves from Spontex. They were thin enough that I hardly knew they were there but endurable enough that they lastest me ages, I put my hand cream on my hands then put them on to do the cleaning, my hands are now soft soft soft and not dried out from cleaning products. I think they are fab! My other half also uses them to clean the car and working with tools.

"ok if you wear rubber gloves"
I don't wear gloves so wouldnt use these really for maybe any other job than something really messy on the odd occasion.
They are quite good quality and are quite comfortable to wear but like previous posters have said the implication that you dont feel as if your wearing them is a little far fetched.
They haven't converted me into a rubber glove wearer though im afraid

I don't normally wear gloves for chores. These gloves are lighter than other types on the market but not special enough to be a must!! I also think they don't look very nice (as they are just very plain). Overall they do the job but nothing particularly special.

I don't normally wear gloves around the house and I have small hands and don't like the feel of gloves on my hands. However, saying that these are great - they are very light and didn't irritate my hands at all. I was sent a medium size and normally I am small and yes they were too big but didn't feel cumbersum. I have been very impressed

These are just average rubber gloves really. They are a little thinner than normal and aren't really as heat resistant as normal ones. I wouldn't really buy them normally although they would probably be better suited to normal household jobs rather than washing up. They are easy on and off because all gloves are the same really. I'm not a fan I'm afraid.

"More like surgical gloves than household marigolds."
I suffer from a skin complaint that requires daily lotions, for which I normally use disposable gloves so tried these instead - have to say that I would not consider them to be reusable so just an expensive alternative to what I currently use. Felt a bit tight and left my hands feeling rather icky after use. Would maybe use them for household cleaning, but not for washing up as they are far too thin.

"No love for these gloves!"
Well, firstly I don't always wear gloves for household type of things so I may not be the best reviewer. I will wear them if I'm doing something VERY messy but in general I find them annoyingly uncomfortable to wear - I must have small hands or something as gloves tend to be HUGE on me and just get in my way and stop me getting on with things!
Anyway, I did give these ones a try and they were ok I suppose. In fairness, they do seem to be a better fit for me than many others and they are quite thin which means you can grip things quite well, etc so they are a lot less cumbersome than other kinds. Although the claim on the packaging that 'You wont know you're wearing them' seems to be going a bit far really.
The design of the gloves therefore seems to be more based on the thinner disposable types rather than a big pair of marigolds but I'd think that with a re-usable glove it is more the marigolds you would be after! These gloves are quite thin which, although good for grip and sensitivity, doesn't give you much of a barrier between anything with any degree of heat (or cold) so pretty useless for a lot of household jobs you might need gloves for. They would however be great for the dirtier jobs around the house but then would you really want to re-use them after tackling something really messy?
All in all, they're quite good gloves but seem to have a case of not really knowing their target and just seem a bit indecisive and a somewhat ill thought out.

"Just ok"
I've got to say that these gloves feel nice, they do indeed give you great dexterity (once you've removed any air pockets!), they do of course protect your hands but I feel your options are fairly limited as they offer no heat protection whatsoever and provide no real friction against surfaces etc.
Yes, they are great for chopping onions, dusting, emptying the vacuum, hmmmm, then I'm struggling really, maybe really dirty nappy changes? My point is that most household tasks, especially with a baby or two in the house, involve an element of hot water or a heated product. The fact they are reusable is also of limited use as many of these tasks are not ideally suited to the same pair of gloves - even if they are rinsed inbetween.
I don't think I'll be in a rush to give up my sturdy rubber gloves or even my disposable latex ones I'm afraid.

"Nothing amazing"
These are just average run of the mill gloves. Theres nothing particularly different about them other than the fact they dont leave an over powering smell of latex on your skin after using them like so many other rubber gloves do.
They are easy to use ( but then again how can putting on gloves be difficult?) and would probably be better suited to be used when you do something mucky, like cleaning out the hoover rather than the washing up as they dont seem very heat resistant.
I would buy these at the right price but i wouldnt go out of my way to buy them, they are just as good as most other marigold gloves on the market.
Overall....highly average!
