I'm right handed and while using rubber gloves, I wear out the right hand glove before the left one. When I have two perfectly good left hand gloves, I turn one inside out and instantly I have a right hand glove to go with my other left hand glove. A little bath powder sprinkled inside the glove makes it comfortable and easy to get on and off. Works for me.
Who knew? Kudos to you for thinking of this one. Great idea.

Hate Litter, don't apologize for having the same idea as someone else. That is why we archive and repost them. There are a lot of clever people out there :) Thanks so much for all your entries.

Well, that's such a simple idea it makes me wonder why we all haven't been doing this instead of saving all those lefties for who-knew-what reason! I bet I've got a 5 year supply. My husband says I'm a pack rat but now the rat's on him because I CAN use them. Thanks

I apologize. I didn't mean to be using someone elses's idea. Before posting this tip, I did a search in archives and did not find anything. Anyway it's a good idea and needs to be repeated as there are many hands that can benefit from this.

Thanks you! Why didn't I think of that? I am left handed and end up with all right handed gloves. Why am I so stupid? Thanks for the tip!

Tip: Using a Glove on Either Your Right or Left Hand
I turn the glove inside out, if it is the wrong hand. It helps to put flour or powder on your hand to make it go on easy. I always have more of left hand gloves left without holes than right hand.
RE: Using a Glove on Either Your Right or Left Hand
If you are fortunate enough to have a friend/neighbor/relative that is opposite-handed to you then it is good to work out a swap method. I am left handed and my neighbor is right handed. When we buy new gloves we swap the off-handed one and it works out to give an extra pair of gloves. (11/16/2009)
