This kit is perfect for those who need a softer thimble for more sensitive skin, but who still need the protection of a thick tip. It's great for office use and assembly work as well! Plus, you can use the finger protectors for handling sticky & messy materials such as lip balm, spices, wax, paint, cream, glue, epoxy, etc. The kit also comes with one (1) nonstick mat pad, made with high quality lab approved silicone. Non-stick pads will save you a lot of time cleaning messes during arts & crafts such as hot glue projects! Do not use mat over an open flame or slice into small pieces. SIZING: While every woman's hand is a little different – some larger overall, some smaller with some fingers thinner and some wider, this set was designed to provide a full range of options for which most of the sizes should accommodate the average women's finger size. This means that depending on your unique finger attributes, it's possible that 1/3 or even 2/3 of the set might not fit you perfectly, but it's nearly 100% likely that at least 33% of the sizes will fit your specific fingers. The reason we provide a wide range of sizes in each set is to ensure that at least 3 of the nine will fit every uniquely beautiful hand among our customer base. Many of our customers find that the entire set fits well on different fingers. If there are some that don't fit perfectly in your set, we'd encourage you to gift them to a friend with similar hobbies, but who might have different sized fingers.
