How do people handle their dolls, gloves or no gloves?

No, I don't use gloves, but I do avoid touching the face up directly.

 

I don't use gloves, but I always wash my hands before handleing my doll.

 

I don't use gloves either but I rarely touch his face ^^

 

lol protection. Play safe, eh? xDDDD

Narr, I don't even wash my hands so often. I don't sweat much. And my dolls are always on my bed, I do my work on my bed. I grab them whenever I please.
If I was eating biscuits or something like that before hand, I'll just wipe my hands off on my jeans. The ony times I wash my hands is like, before and after dinner and stuff like that hahaha

eew. I'm such a messy person now that I think about it x3x

 

When I'm doing customization work - be it faceups, tattoos, or body blushing - I usually have a white glove on the hand holding the doll so the oils from my hands don't mess anything up. Whenever a doll is body blushed/tattooed I tend to don the white gloves more often. Though several of my dolls I just "play" with and don't bother.

 

I've never heard about this. To clean your hands is tooooooo easy

 

:3 welp. like they always say. keep your hands washed. ^_^ I make sure not to do things like eat cheetohs and touch them. XD but i never used gloves... or thought about it.

 

I don't like gloves. I don't wear them when touching my girl, I just avoid touching her face-up. Everything else, a gentle cloth or magic eraser treatment will clean off.

 

I never use gloves unless doing a face-up. I never touch the face when playing so there's no need.

 

I use latex gloves when spraying dolls. There are times when working on dolls that I would like to wear white cotton gloves. I haven't been able to find any. Any suggestions?

 

Never use glove.
But I will wash my hand before touching them.
Well...I don't really "Play" with them much..
My girl aways sitting on their sofa..I just keep looking at them ^^"
The only time that I touch them is changing clothes for them...HEEHEE

 

no gloves
But I do make sure my hands are as clean as possible before handling my boy

 

I..can't use gloves. I have to feel what I'm doing, I guess, and part of enjoying dolls for me is texture-based. I like feeling the texture of resin, how the cloth feels, and how the hair feels when adjusting their wigs. Wearing gloves would kind of sterilize that for me, I think.

 

I try to keep my hands clean, washed, devoid of too many oils and all that, but I've never felt a need for gloves. For me, I need to have the contact in order to really have control over what I'm holding especially if I'm doing something like a faceup.

 

Gloves are a bit of a hassle, even for me! hehe. I try to avoid touching Faust directly lol.
I'll use gloves though if I ever do a faceup

 

I don't use gloves, though sometimes I consider it. Usually I just make sure my hands are clean.

 

I make sure my hands are clean, especially when there will be a lot of handling, but no gloves (except when I'm doing a faceup). I'd never touch my doll if I had to wear gloves, I'm too lazy to put them on

 

Baha, no.

:3

You'd be astonished at how rough I am with my girls..

 

I just use gloves when I have to change the eyes. I always get so warmed up that I just need them For everything else I don't use some.

Laoky

 

I use gloves and I'm not ashamed to admit it!
I really only use them when I'm doing photo shoots that require a lot of posing, especially in the head\eye region. I've noticed that a lot of people in this thread scoff at the idea, suggesting that hand-washing is the easy way to go, and I agree this is a great idea, but I want to point out something I've noticed.
My dolls that are sprayed with Testors get gummy\dirty FAST. Whether I wash my hands or not. I don't know if it's the oils in my hands gumming up the outer layer of sealant or what, but I've gone from having to wash my boy once a week, to once a month because of gloves.

My MSC sprayed doll? Doesn't happen like the Testors sprayed one. Must be a formula thing.
