Latex vs Nitrile vs Vinyl?

[kitsune]

Hey all.

I know this question has most likely been asked numerous times, but I couldn't find what I was looking for so I figured I'd ask myself.
In terms of medical (exam, surgical etc.) gloves, what are the differences and similarities between latex, vinyl and nitrile gloves? I want to get a fresh box off Amazon or Ebay but I don't really know what to look for, i.e. best price, feeling and quality.
Would really appreciate if someone could take the time to explain the caracteristics of each for me.

Thanks!

in its extremes: (?)

latex: most elastic
nitrile: bulky
vinyl: plastic like

I don't think asking fetishists a question like this is ever going to get you a good answer. I just hope you get better responses from others because here's mine.

Latex - Beautiful Soft texture that looks amazingly smooth when tight fitting, feels and (hopefully) smell amazing.

Nitrile - Horrible
Vinyl - see Nitrile

lol

Edit.But nothing can beat a perfect pair of unchlorinated household rubber gloves. (for you Rom)

I really like both nitrile and latex for their appearence, while latex has more stretch. vinyl gloves have no elasticity really, and not y personal favorite

Thin, cheap latex gloves (i.e. 100 pcs boxes) are very elastic but short (about 24cm). They have a typical latex smell. I like a tight fit and I wear a S/M size: S is better in the winter, because hands are a bit smaller, while M is better in the summer.

Standard surgical latex gloves are a bit thicker, but "Neuro" surgical gloves are also very thin and longer (about 30cm). Their smell can be different from the typical latex smell. I wear size 7, but if they are very thin (like Maxitex Neuro PF) 6.5 is ok for the same tight fit.

Maxitex Neuro PF:


Thin nitrile gloves are also elastic. They are not so elastic like thin latex gloves, but if you chose the right size they can be very, very tight. Keep in mind that thinner gloves are more elastic than thicker ones! I like very much thin nitrile gloves. I wear size S for a very tight fit, or size M for a standard fit.

Vinyl gloves are NOT elastic.
