Frequently asked questions

Can wheelchair gloves help with transfers?

Yes. Many customers say the tacky rubber palm makes slide-board transfers feel safer and more stable because their palms can grip the board and surfaces.

How do I use the gloves to hold a utensil, pen or hairbrush?

Slide the handle between the palm of your hand and the glove. The glove acts like a universal cuff and holds the item against your palm.

Should I use new gloves for daily tasks?

It is best to use well broken-in gloves for anything other than pushing a wheelchair. Broken-in suede is more flexible and comfortable.

Are the gloves safe to use for tasks other than pushing?

Each user is responsible for deciding what is safe for them. Do frequent skin checks until you are familiar with how the gloves work for each task.

Can I share photos of how I use my gloves?

Yes, we love seeing them. Email photos or videos to debbie@glovesforlife.com.
