Abstract
Abstract An absorbent liner for wear beneath a rubber glove. A back portion overlies the back of the hand and is secured by closure pieces to the wearer's wrist. Attached to the back portion are tubular members for placement about the inner segments of the fingers without detracting from the sense of touch. The liner may be of an elastic nature. A modified form of the absorbent liner utilizes elastic tubular fabric with finger receiving tubular members having openings therein for momentary hooked engagement with the finger ends during donning of a rubber glove.
