We have found there to be big differences in sizes from glove brand to 
glove brand. Try other brands in both sizes and see if one or another works 
better for you.
I just called my reps or saw them at vendor shows and they sent a few 
sample gloves for us to try out. In this lab we have a problem getting 
gloves small enough and not every company has XS size. We finally agreed on 
MicroFlex UltraSense powder free nitrile gloves from VWR. They are nice and 
thin for gripping slides and coverslips.
