I've always used the cotton gloves with the PVC dots on them, for crawfish and crabs. I've always done 3 or 4 rinses with both before we toss in the boil. The rubber gloves would end up getting water in them as I'm transferring them from one tub to the other.

I guess it all depends where you buy them from, but when you get swamp or spillway crawfish from locals who went out and caught a couple of sacks, I like to go through them as pieces of fish and bait can be in there. Also, if we ever get from a market we look for dead one. If you ever bit into a rotten one, you realize it would be worth picking through a bit before boiling.

Why do you need gloves?

I agree and have done it without them for the past 20+ years. I put my hands in and move them around. I just figure why get pinched if there's an easy way around it. Didn't think getting pinched by crawfish was the way to test manliness.

Me neither. Just keep your hands moving and you'll be fine. No gloves needed.

What are the best gloves for peeling crawfish???
Posted on 4/18/18 at 4:48 pm to MotorbikeMike
Buy a couple of champagnes and a couple of tub like in cajunate's pic. Champagne goes in tub, sack goes in champagne, fill tub with water, slosh champagne around in tub, pull champagne, empty tub, repeat until water is clear.
If I'm doing multiple sacks, I'll do this more like an assembly line, first sack/champagne goes in tub with water, slosh until water is dirty, first sack goes into 2nd tub with clean water, 2nd sack goes into dirty water, slosh both around, pull 1st champagne, 2nd champagne goes in 2nd tub, dump first tub and refill with clean water. This uses less water and creates less of a mess in the yard.
I've used my hands before and as long as your moving you're fine. I just prefer this method using champagnes.

They're called crawfish gloves baw. Get them the same place you get bait and sacks. I go through dozens a year.

MFing this. Holy shite. It’s just washing crawfish. I have never been pinched doing it this way. Stop being a pussy.

They will be plenty clean
"Plenty clean" is subjective. I'm not satisfied with simply soaking dirty crawfish in water to get them clean. Dirt sometimes clings and spraying the crawfish directly with a hose helps to get that off.
It also depends on where you get your crawfish from. Some sources clean their crawfish before selling. So the crawfish don't really need much or any cleaning and soaking would do the trick. But if your source has fairly dirty crawfish, soaking them won't always get the dirt off.

Not only do you need gloves to clean crawfish, you have to ask this message board where to buy rubber gloves 
holy shite

If I was eating the outside of the crawfish, like apparently the lafayette and houston crowd does, than maybe this is relevant.
Hose them down to get all the dirt off... sure... but individually washing crawfish? Y'all weird.

Do you suck the heads? Do you peel the crawfish yourself? Do you touch the tailmeat with your fingers?
Why not just wet your hands, dunk them in a sandbox, then go peel and eat a bunch of crawfish? It shouldn't make a difference because you aren't "eating the outside of the crawfish", right?

Nobody has said this.

Justin Wilson used to put the crawfish in a pan with about 1/2 inch of milk in it for a few hours. Cleaned out the insides - like a laxative.

Interesting bump, but your old wives tale is just that.
