Reddit reviews Haylard Health Purple Nitrile Exam Gloves, Large, 100 Count

They were this glove exactly.

As someone who is currently struggling with the UTI that just won't quit, I have one piece of advice.

"Do as I say, not as I do."

UTI's are incredibly easy to get, and can be really annoying to get rid of. Boiling is good, specifically for about 10 minutes. (2 minutes is sufficient to kill almost anything, but that is what I did.)

Honestly you're unlikely to get a UTI from the insert itself. You are far more likely to get it via cross contamination. Let's face it, crotches aren't clean. Even if you bathe regularly, there is going to be some additional flora/ fauna living down there. And for the most part that's a good thing. The problem comes when you get it halfway to paradise unintentionally. It doesn't mater how sterile the tube is if your hands aren't sterile. What about the "Clean" surface of the table you're using to setup on? Did you just spend 10 minutes sterilizing your tube, then lay it on a "clean" piece of toilet paper? Did you clean the head of your dick with an alcohol swab?

So if you really want to avoid a UTI, here's the best way to do it.
Time to glove up Your hands aren't clean. It's really hard to get them clean, and once you do, it's really easy to get them dirty again. You want to do this right? Change gloves every time you touch anything new. Got an itch on your nose? New Gloves. Finished wiping down the counters? New gloves. Oh, and only touch the cuff of the glove. These things are only "Clean" until you get them dirty. And using your unclean, ungloved hand to align the "clean" glove on your other hand? Unclean.


MadaCide wipes These aren't for your dick, skin, or anything you're going to put in your body. This is for cleaning the environment around where you'll be playing. (No, Clorox wipes aren't enough. If they were they wouldn't say 99.9% of germs right on the label.)


Time to clean your dirty dirty dick New gloves, and wipe the head of your dick, there's stuff living there as well. BZK Wipes are also good for this

Open that single use packet of sterile lube. No, the raspberry flavored stuff from the local sex shop doesn't count. Cough up the money for the real stuff.

So if you've managed to do this right, and changed your gloves every time you touch anything, congratulations, you've managed a "Clean Field" session. This isn't the same as a "Sterile Field". You can still get an infection, you're just less likely to. You can't make a sterile field in your home, it's not possible.

That's the "Do as I say". The do as I do? Well, I typically wash my hands real well, wipe down everything with a BZK wipe and hope for the best. I've also had two UTIs in the last 6 months and have been sounding (shoving stuff in my pee hole) for almost 20 years.

The bottom line is, if you're not going to be able to go in to your doctor and say, "I have a UTI." Then deal with your Dr saying, "Well, we're going to test you for ever STD in the book, cause you're wrong, men never get UTIs." This is not something you need to explore.

Do you want to rock his world? Buy yourself some Nitrile (not latex) exam gloves like these and a good silicone-based lube meant for anal play like this one. Once you have these items, read up on prostate massage at /r/prostateplay. My wife does this for me and it is amazingly intimate and pleasurable. It's unfortunate that there is a social stigma associated with anal play; I think every guy should try it at least once as it could be a life changer, as it was for me.

Personally I'd opt for http://amzn.com/B00E4UOKNK instead. Looks like they're a bit thicker which I find nice when working with things that aren't human.

Yeah, hand sanitizer is probably a big part of your problem. I don't have long wait times, so I just wet my hands between steps so my bottles don't get sticky. What I generally do, is fill my sink with water to wash my face and then keep using it as a basin to dip my hands in between steps. I mostly use a wet washcloth to wipe away cleanser, so it doesn't usually have much more than water. You might try your actives without long wait times for a bit and see if they still work, at least while you're in a dorm. I never needed to wait longer than a minute or two with mine (I don't use them anymore because my face was always like "hell no, this shit is too harsh" even though I was using the freaking super gentle Cosrx stuff...) and they always worked just fine.

Another option, while you are in a dorm.. it could get a bit pricy over time, but maybe getting some disposable gloves, like the powederless ones they wear in doctor's offices. I buy these ones and they aren't bad. 100 for $10, so 50 pairs. I use mine for handling meat in the kitchen because I have issues with touching raw meat or for oiling up potatoes or something because olive oil takes forever to wash off, but they don't end up being all that expensive, even if you use a pair every day. But you could use a pair for your actives and then a pair for the routine if you can't wash your hands prior.

I think a third option, would be to buy a small bucket, or one of those collapsible bowls. Something like this maybe?, that you could fill with water to use as a basin in your room to at least get a rinse on your hands and then you could just walk it back when you are done to dump it out.

The last idea I could think of, isn't my favorite, but maybe cleansing wipes, or baby wipes, so you could get a kinda-wash on your hands from your room. Just keep tabs on your skin, because even the gentlest of them could cause skin problems when residues are mixed with your products.
