I'm just going to have to quit buying the damn things until I learn how to handle them safely.
Like, WITH GLOVES.

Damnit, Jim, it's a vulva, not an enchilada!

Posted by: ilyka at March 24, 2005 03:10 AMHey, you might just want to go straight to vinyl or other non-latex gloves. I've got the sensitivity or allergy or whatnot. At first, it just feels vaguely creepy or uncomfortable, but the longer I wear latex, I just go totally buggy. And having the dentist with latex gloves in my mouth is INTOLERABLE.
