My hands suffer from eczema, and washing dishes obviously makes it worse. Are their any gloves that don't puncture after a week of use?

These Korean gloves are much more durable according to my wife.

As much as I want there to be BIFL dishwashing gloves, I can’t help but think that they’re a product that will invariably catch on a knife or something and tear after a few weeks regardless of how well made they are

I use these for all kinds of stuff around my little farm. They’re probably almost a year old, well used and look like brand new. Very comfortable to wear and decent dexterity.
Go to your hardware store and search gloves that are chemical safe. Mine have been in use for over a year!
My favorite are the O-Cedar by Playtex. I’d say I still go through about 6 pairs a year though but totally worth it!
These are the type I get...2 years and going! If you have nails, then tucking a tiny bit if cotton at each tip will help the gloves last longer.
You can chuck any rubber gloves you find into the wash! We also ran ours through the dryer when I worked custodial at a college
I got these because I posted a similar request on the zero waste sub. They’ve been going strong for months of daily use and show no signs of wear besides some mild staining. I would highly recommend these!!!
Honestly I use a long dish brush to keep my hands mostly out of the water. But I’ve had a couple pair of these Casabella ones around and they last for years.
I would avoid any latex gloves. Latex allergies develop with repeated exposure. Given you already have sensitive skin, I would avoid something that has a decent chance of causing you significantly worse and serious issues.
I just order some latex free cleaning gloves from Amazon and unless you are stabbing them with knives while washing, they really shouldn’t rip or anything.
I just ordered these. Thanks for the link.
You’re gonna love them! I thank mine all the time for keeping my hands soft and holding up to anything.
I have the same problem and use these: https://www.target.com/p/clorox-ultra-comfort-gloves-medium/-/A-78362269. These gloves have lasted longer than any other dishwashing gloves I’ve used - I only just replaced a pair that I had been using consistently for several months. I also like the fit - they don’t make me feel clumsy like some other gloves do.
Not gloves but have you tried changing detergents?

Not a coincidence! Your phone knows everything.
I love these gloves. No one knows about these but these are gems. Learned about this from a cleaning channel:

Best advice I ever got on Reddit was about dishwashing gloves. Usually one hand always punctures first, so after two pairs you are left with two left handed gloves, turn one of them inside out and you now have a pair of gloves again.
Which is precisely why you should get a chainmail glove cover!
I also have the eczema only on my hands and made much worse by getting them wet and being in the cold. Any cream recommendations?

came here to post the same link. I have one pair for chopping vegetables, and a separate one for dishes. I got severe eczema last year on both my hands, and trust me keeping your hands dry make such a BIG difference.
My eczema is under control now, but I continue to use these. Good luck!

I use Grease Monkey Pro Cleaning Long Cuff Neoprene gloves for cleaning around the house.
They're pretty tuff and they last.
