A cot should be used when only one finger is being used for penetration or to cover small sex toys. Rinse any powder off of the gloves or cots because it can cause irritation. The glove or cot makes rough hands feel smooth. If you or your partner has a hang nail, long nails, cuts or open sores, these items protect you and your partner from sharing bodily fluids. If you decide you want to use more than one finger, or your whole hand, you either need to put on several cots or find a glove.
