Poop Gloves Take the Dirty Work out of Nappy Changing

Spare yourself from going through a packet of wipes with every nappy change and try these poop gloves instead!

Anyone who has changed a nappy knows that you’re at risk of coming into contact with a rather smelly substance at any moment, and that baby wipes are of little help when it comes to true poo-explosions. Created to solve the problems of traditional baby wipes, Shittens are disposable mitten-shaped moist wipes (hilariously nicknamed ‘poop gloves’) that mean you’ll be able to get the job done without having to touch poop ever again.

Parents say the one-use mitten shaped wipes have been life changing. “Very soft and easy to use,” wrote one happy customer. “No finger poking through to mud valley!” The whacky invention of these poop gloves first debuted on the Howard Stern show, with many believing them to be an elaborate hoax as the show is renowned for its crazy pranks (and the name isn’t exactly family friendly). But, the poop gloves are so popular that they sold out on Amazon. Poop gloves are now back in stock for time-poor mums and dads who need the convenience of not just one hand sized wipe, but two!

Unfortunately, they’re still single use. One would think that by going to the trouble of creating a product to try to save wet wipes, you’d make something that people can reuse (and reuse and reuse and reuse!) until it must be recycled. But obviously, corporations still aren’t switched on to the fact that single-use disposable items are really harmful to both the environment and the social psyche. I for one would love to try out these shittens if they were reusable! Perhaps they next big thing will be wash-out-able poop gloves, and you’ll only need one pair!

Do you think these mittens would make changing your child’s nappy easier? Let us know in the comments!

I think I’d make more of a mess using these. Now you don’t have a hand free to handle Bub anymore.

I can see how this might be appealing but I think it would end up being harder when you need to get a second and try to put it on without getting mess everywhere. I think i’ll stick to wipes.

Nope how can one glove clean up an explosion! You’d have to use a few, just easier to use wipes and I bet they’re cheaper.

Nah, I wouldn’t use these. What’s wrong with a normal wipe ?

This is fantastic, absolutely love the name. Not sure I’d be keen to use it but hubby would as he uses a million wipes

Not bad but not something I would use. Makes you wonder what they’ll come up with next.

Lol! I thought this was a joke …. I should imagine they are quite expensive, especially when a wet wipe and tissue will do the job!

A normal wet wipe does the job for me. These are probably quite expensive.

Seems like a good idea but I’m not sure?!
How would it not leak through the glove as it looks quite thin?

Regular wipes do the trick. With something like this I’d feel like I was just holding poo in my hand and nothing guarantees that one of these will be enough
