Fetish Gloves & Gauntlets

Picking the right pair of gloves

Length, and keeping it in place

The longer the glove, the more there is to hold up. Opera and elbow-length pairs run high on the arm, and without something to anchor them they work their way down through the night.

A finger loop is the fix worth looking for — a small loop that hooks over one finger and holds the glove in place from the hand end. Beyond that, the grip comes from the top: a snug band stays put, a loose one slides. So on any long pair, check how it's meant to stay up before you buy.

Short and wrist-length pairs don't have the problem, since there's nothing to slide. If you'd rather not think about it at all, that's the pair to reach for.

Fingerless or full, and looking after them

Fingerless cuts leave the fingertips out, so touch stays sharp and rings stay visible — the practical pick if your hands are doing anything. Full gloves cover to the fingertip for a cleaner line and more warmth, at the cost of grip and feel.

Net, fishnet and lace are delicate by nature and snag on rough nails, rings and Velcro, so keep them clear of anything that catches and wash them gently by hand. Most stretch across a range of hand sizes, though a few leather or structured styles come sized — check the listing if your hands run small or large. To set off a pair, a body or corset or a bra set gives them something to work against.

Finishing pieces, discreet delivery

Each pair comes from an established lingerie or fetish label, in fabrics made to hold their shape through real wear. Orders ship in plain, unmarked packaging that gives nothing away.

Order before 14:00 on a weekday for same-day dispatch, with free UK delivery once you pass £50. If a pair isn't right, simple replacements keep it easy.
