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

I never use gloves, and I rarely wash my hands just because I'm going to be touching my doll. Cleaning them is easy enough if they get a bit dirty so I never bother.

 

I never use gloves and I only wash my hands if I've just eaten/they're obviously dirty/I just returned from being out of the house. I try to keep my hands pretty clean in general, so I rarely think that I need to wash my hands just to touch my doll. I just couldn't wear gloves, though, because (in most cases) I hate the sensation of holding/touching something and not being able to feel it.

 

No gloves, lotsa love - hahaha!

I do wash my hands a lot...but that's a habit I've picked up from hand sewing. There's no point in painstaking sewing if you're going to get chocolate all over your work: lol:

 

No real need for gloves unless you've body blushed and used a horrible sealant that reacts with the oils in your skin, in my mind.

Emma has been handled with bear hands since I got her, really.

-snort- The wording....

 

Gloves never occurred to me b/c my bobobie is a pretty touch cookie, as far as I can see. I have a magic eraser handy if she does get dirty, but that's about it. She's still a doll and I think dolls need to be touched with your skin, not gloves.

 

No gloves. Gloves make your hands akward, for me at least.

 

sometimes when dressing them because i have greasy hands..... even tho i wash them

 

I always wash my hands before touching my dolls. Haven't thought about using gloves - I can see why I might use them on occasion, but most of the time I'll just stick to washing my hands.

 

I always wash my hands and then wear gloves too 8V Maybe it seems excessive, but if anyone owns a crazy PAPER WHITE LE from dollmore they'd understand why I do. 8Y He gets dirty so easily :'D

 

No gloves for me, I just make sure I wash my hands before playing with my doll.

 

I don't wear gloves, and I don't wash my hands unless I handled something else specific that I want to wash off. I don't necessarily want to put my doll danger, it's just that I think of her like a toy and thus want to play with her at my convenience.

 

I'm not a gloves person. I bought my doll to be played with and "kid gloves" just take too much time.

Besides that, I think she'd be annoyed at being treated like a fragile girl. It's not her style.

 

I do not use gloves...but I wash my hands obsessively.

 

I'm not a glove person either. Unless I am covered in melted chocolate or something I will happily touch them without washing my hands.

 

The only time I've ever worn gloves while handling a doll was when I was sanding. ^_^; I do know a guy who requires gloves when handling his dolls though. But his are mainly just for display.

 

No gloves, but before touching them i always wash hands profusely and apply alcohol gel after the wash.

Seconding the paper whiteness from dollmore x__x the caught dirtiness are so apparent that i always keep a magic block inside the doll head.

 

Nah, I don't really bother with gloves. I generally keep my hands washed, but I don't go out of my way to be all docter squeaky clean.

 

No~ I don't wear gloves when handling my dolls. I just ensure my hands are clean (and I keep my fingers off their face) and if they do get smudged for some reasons, I just use a magic sponge to clean them up a little.

 

I neither was my hands nor use gloves. I don't care if I just ate chips, just brush my hands across my pants and grab my doll.
My dolls are for playing, hugging and bouncing around with.

 

Gloves? No. I don't touch my boy's face-up, but the rest of him is fair game. rofl. So far he's only gotten a couple of very light little marks, which came off easy enough with a Magic Eraser. He's traveled with me and even been to an anime con, and no harm done.
