Comfortable Bamboo Gloves for Eczema
Bamboo eczema gloves for adults are great for treating hand eczema, to prevent scratching, or as protection for contact dermatitis, psoriasis or other skin concerns.
These bamboo eczema gloves are recommended by the Norwegian Asthma and Allergy Association.
Why use bamboo gloves instead of cotton gloves for eczema?
While cotton gloves have been the common solution for hand eczema due to its breathability, it may not continue to stay comfortable, especially after washing. However, bamboo gloves will continue to provide a smooth and silky feeling even after numerous washes.
In Singapore, there are many cotton-based gloves which can be found in some pharmacy for dermatitis care, but most of them are not as comfortable. For sensitive skin and scratched eczema skin, the gloves may further cause irritation if it is not silky comfortable and cooling. Bamboo gloves are a good alternative to help eczema sufferers who have hand dermatitis or contact allergy.
Antibacterial / Antifungal
Bamboo fabric is composed of strong anti-microbial properties. It is believed to consist of 3 times more anti-bacterial qualities than cotton. Bamboo clothing’s natural anti-bacterial function differs greatly from that of man-made chemical anti-microbial fabrics, which often tend to cause skin problems.
Ideal for sensitive skin
Bamboo apparel is hypoallergenic. Bamboo fiber is smooth and round and its natural fiber properties make it non-irritating to the skin. Bamboo fiber is unbelievably soft and suitable even for babies.
Feels like silk
Wearing bamboo material has been described as a soft, luscious and sensual experience, like the feel of cashmere or silk. It has a very distinctive lustrous sheen. Bamboo is smooth and soft on the skin. The inherent quality of bamboo fiber (on a microscopic level bamboo fiber has a round surface) makes it a delightful tactile experience unlike other fibers.
Stays cool even after prolonged wearing
In hot temperatures, bamboo cools the body by three degrees. This is a very good property to ensure the skin does not get heated further by the heat that is trapped below the fabric.
Biodegradable
Just like cotton, bamboo gloves are made from plant-based material, and can be disposed of in an organic and environmentally friendly manner.
How to use bamboo gloves for hand eczema
For sleeping at night, you can apply moisturisers on your hands as usual, then wear the gloves over it.
For daytime, it can be worn under rubber gloves if needed (such as during dishwashing, or shampooing). This can reduce your exposure to latex.
Reviews of bamboo eczema gloves from customers in Singapore
It’s soft and breathable, pretty good. Comfortable to wear throughout the day. It’s quite durable, I wash it once a week-so far so good

Definitely much softer than any available cotton gloves that are available in Singapore so far. Non-irritating to wounds and eczema scratches. Good for protecting the fingers from daily dry activities

Gloves are really soft and comfortable. However not suitable for my eczema fingers as it sticks onto the wound overnight 🥲 think better for people w eczema elsewhere and use this as a barrier when scratching in sleep.

The gloves are cooling and soft to use even in Singapore’s weather. My 20 year old son used to scratch his neck and front elbows at night and made the eczema rash very bad. After using the gloves for sleeping, it helps to prevent direct contact with the skin when scratching and thus prevents broken and infected skin and helps in recovery. I repeated my purchase and now I have 3 pairs.

Helped greatly in reducing scratching for me! The only gripe I have is that the sizing chart wasn’t very accurate in helping me pick the correct size as it was too small for me. Recommended to buy a size bigger so it wouldn’t be too tight on your skin.

We came across this product whilst browsing online for cotton gloves. The bamboo gloves are very thin, breathable and you can even use your phone while wearing them! They are also machine-washable and even after multiple washes, they maintain their shape and do not accumulate lint. Thanks Bee for being so very helpful and friendly and for bringing in such a great product!

When I first tried the gloves on, it took me a while to get used to them as they seemed snug. Before long, I hardly noticed that I was wearing them. They are more comfortable than cotton gloves I got elsewhere, and fit better at the wrist. Wearing these to sleep, they initially helped to reduce the damage done when I scratched subconsciously. However, over time, I noticed the next morning that they tend to come off at some point during the night. They could have been stretched out a little after prolonged use and become looser, or I could be unknowingly pulling them off in my sleep. A hole also appeared on the index finger of one glove, though I take care to wash them in a net. Based on the sizing guide, I got size M. I would try size S the next time.

I’ve been wearing these gloves to sleep for around a week now and never expected them to feel so comfortable even though I do not sleep with aircon on. I had been experiencing a flareup with infected/oozing eczema for weeks and was frustrated that they could not heal because I kept scratching them unconsciously in my sleep. After wearing these gloves, coupled with my creams and dressings, my previously infected eczema was able to heal well and I am overjoyed about that!
Will definitely keep wearing these gloves to sleep as long as I have any scratchable itchy areas on my body 🙂 and thank you so much Bee for bringing in and sharing about this awesome product! ❤️

It helps to lock in the moisturiser longer than it would when hands are exposed. It also prevents hands from direct contact with surfaces that can irritate the healing hands easily. At night, it helps to sleep better as the hands are protected from drying up. Very comfortable and cooling to the hands.

Previously had a night scratching problem and these gloves really helped to prevent that. This has helped my wounds heal much faster + allow me to sleep well. These gloves are very comfortable and soft – I bought a second pair shortly after buying the first pair. Have been using the gloves for a month and still use them every night.
Highly recommended if you have problems with scratching at night.

Have had pompholyx/blisters on my hands for the past 5-6 years, which would worsen when I scratched in my sleep. Have used steroid creams for as many years, but the blisters always recur and worsen.
Used the gloves for the past few months when sleeping. They not only protect, but also feel cool and soft, which soothes the itch and sensitivity considerably at night. Now I use them to type comfortably during flare-ups too!
After a recent flare-up, I tried pairing with emu oil, on Bee’s recommendation. Major inflammation and blistered areas on my hands largely cleared after several days. This was in conjunction with my usual steroid creams, but even so, I’ve never healed this quickly with just the steroids! Feeling hope for the first time in years for real improvement.
Recommend pairing this with emu oil.

Really like the fit and feel of these gloves. Also, they don’t feel greasy after wear even though I applied greasy ointments on my hands for overnight moisturising. They’re not cheap but the quality is worth the price 🙂

I’m happy with my bamboo gloves. It’s more comfortable compared to my cotton gloves. In my case, I usually have M size for my gloves but in bamboo gloves L size fits me.

these gloves have been lifesavers for me, i think they’re the best buys i’ve ever gotten! when i put them on, i instantly feel a coolness, like i have chilled air ventilated in my hands. when i take them off, i instantly feel the warm humid air again. the bamboo used to make these wick sweat away and keep my hands smooth and comfy all day. i got 3 pairs and only wear on my right hands, and thankfully i can use both the gloves on my right. i have one pair reserved for sleeping, and another reserved for daily activities! i even wear them underneath rubber gloves & latex gloves depending if i’m washing dishes or eating and they feel so good.

Gloves might have seemed too small but it gradually stretches out. It’s comfortable and unlike other gloves, and dust particles do not stick on these gloves. Best part is you can use your phone while wearing them.

The bamboo gloves were exactly what I needed, thin enough for Singapore’s heat and even for me to touch my phone screen! I love it’s softness and how it hugged your skin to have a better fit. Prompt delivery too! I am getting another pair 🙂
