I've been looking, but haven't found anything great yet. Sam's Club sells them, but I'm not sure which kind. I don't want the kind that are really loose and always fall off.
 
You can buy them on your supply order.
 
They come in medium or large on the supply.

Thank you! I'll have to figure something out for this month, while I'm getting started. :)
 
I usually don't wear gloves at my shows. No one seems to care. I just make sure to wash my hands before I start.
 
Anyone know where I can get food prep gloves in small?
 
If you have a Gordon Food Service (GFS) in your area, check there.Otherwise, look in the yellow pages for restaurant supply. Some are open to the public.

PC Medium gloves are a close fit for me, so you may want to try those first. They are stronger than a lot of gloves I have tried.

And, at only 75 cents, you aren't out much if they don't fit ;)

I have pretty small hands & the mediums work really well for me.

When I first started, sometimes I wore them & sometimes I didn't. But I had some people at the earlier shows when I did wear them comment on how much they liked that I did. So I started wearing them all the time. I just leave a bag in my kit. I do still wash my hands in front of them before I put them on.
 
I bought a box from the Deli at my local grocery store. They are clear vinyl. I could have bought a box from the meat dept but they were latex and I didn't care for the look. I guess I thought they might clash with my outfit ... :rolleyes:

Anyway, I paid $3 for a box of 100.
