I have big hands and thick fingers.

I can't seem to find any gloves that will fit them. I tried on "Large" size at the local photo place, but that's not big enough. I couldn't get my hand through the wrist part.

I looked at the usual online merchants and came up blank. Does anybody sell "Really Freaking Huge" sized cotton gloves?

Sorry...did read it all the first time.

Omega/Satter used to carry cotton gloves in extra/extra large sizes.

Easy. Just go on a hand diet.

I know what you're talking about.

I have the exact same problem with condoms.

Dear Michael,

Inner tubes may solve the problem. The inner tubes for my Land Rover are rather over 10 inches in diameter when inflated/fully stretched, and when cut, the tube is over four feet long: enough for two, probably, unless you are better endowed than I.

The curvature is no great problem if you cut them right. A simple knot in the end will suffice, sealed with contact adhesive BEFORE knotting (or indeed wearing).

Yes, you lose some sensitivity but it's a small price to pay.

Cheers,

R.

Psst, Michael:














You're not supposed to put condoms on your hands:wink:
