Sundae, I'm not sure it would work in your situation, but you can turn a left glove into a right glove by pulling it inside out.

Of course, if the glove has already been used ... eewww...

and unless you're a stickler for fit, a rubber glove can probably be used on the opposite hand anyhow, at least for the duration of the plunging.

I think I'd also use a full face shield if trying the bucket-pour-from-shoulder-level technique. The vapor would really travel (it travels at least six feet from a normal flush).

I'm curious, though... from Sundae's post, but for all of you/us...

If you can wipe poop from legs and butts, why would you need a rubber glove for the plunger handle? Unless you use gloves for that too, which is not unreasonable. I reckon the plunger handle is just as contaminated as the tap handles or the toilet flush lever, and I don't glove up for them.

Must be the liberal in me.

We use disposable non-latex gloves for cleaning up children. Although it is discouraged - technically there should be another adult present if a child is exposing their genitals. There should also be no touching between adult and child (which the second adult is there to ensure). However this is impractical due to staffing levels - you cannot take a teacher out of a class of 30 for example, in order to clean up a child. Nor can you employ a member of staff with nothing else to do but wait for these situtaions!

Neither can you pass a pack of wet-wipes through the toilet door to a 4/5 year old (or a sick 6/7 year old or older) and expect them to come out squeaky clean.

Plunging is a job requiring a more robust glove, however.
I could have done it sans gloves I guess and in the end I think I probably did get fecal matter on my right hand too. But I was too squeamish not to try for rudimentary protection.

And no, the glove I used is not the sort of glove you want to turn inside out. It's explored more dubious areas than Sir David Attenborough.

Same thing you use for getting blood out of a clown suit.

Knowing that sooner would have saved me lots of time.

Facebook tells me that there's going to be a royal baby. A little heir to the throne.

So there's that.

If they are twins-do they fight to the death? or is it just the first one that pops out? b/c that doesn't seem really very fair and if I was twin number two I'd spend a lot of time plotting my revenge.

MTP---so good to hear from you though you are sick and messed up I'd been wondering about you. I'm sorry about ur tonsil but you will get better soon. Glad to hear from you!!
