What kind of gloves do y'all use when you use the restroom???
Ain'tcha heard. We use bidets. :) - DakzukiExplorer III use the heavy black nitrile ones which are the same ones I use for working on cars and doing other messy stuff (painting, etc). $10 for 100 at Amazon. They are tough and multi purpose.
- cross_countryExplorerin case no one mentioned it; try baby powder on your hands before you put the gloves on, some gloves have it inside, most don't. you will find the gloves go on easy and off with powder.

I use the XL 5mm blue gloves from Harbor Freight. Put velcro on the bottom of the box and attach to wall.
Didn't do the same, I have large hands and the XL are still a little tight, but they don't break. - dewey02Explorer II

I know that this post is not specifically responsive to a certain brand, but, as Howard above suggested, "no brand" might be best. There is really no viable scientific claim that the practice of using gloves when you dump your rig is of any benefit except to those who manufacture the gloves. BTW, I'm a retired RN with many years of experience.
Think of what you are doing when you dump your tanks. You are removing YOUR waste from your rig. And unless you stick your hand down into that sewer inlet, you are extremely unlikely to encounter anyone else's. Assuming it's just yours, unless you wear gloves when you finish your daily time(s)in your bathroom, you are at no more risk than if you don't.
Yep. I use bare hand & hot water & soap. All natural type of dude here. - RandACampinExplorer II

When you flush the toilet in a restroom there is not a 30 gallon tank of raw sewage behind it! :W
There is if you had Taco Bell for lunch! - rockhillmanorExplorer II

The reasoning is that you never know who last touched the surface you are about to touch and what they had on their gloves/hands. It's just habit by now, so I naturally wear gloves when handling the sewer hoses and storage bucket. Nitrile for me unless I need something heavy duty, then trionic.
There's a technique for taking them off. Turn them inside out as you do and you'll have a non-contaminated surface by which to handle them for disposal.
