I've thought about using gloves and I've bought the little disposable package of Mr. Clean clear see-through gloves at Dollarama and have them here but never use them, silly me. I have 3 little ones in diapers right now and usually only have to change 1 or 2 poops a day. However, I do take the diapers immediately to the garbage and wash my hands thoroughly after every diaper change, poop or not. I use a lot of hand cream too as some of you mentioned.
