Bath time can be rather tricky. First you have to get a usually fussy or eager babe into the water. Then, it's time to lather them up without them slipping through your fingers. Frustrated by the process, one mom has created a terry-cloth glove that provides the bath-giver with extra traction when handling a wet baby. The fingerless Palm Palms Baby Bath Grips ($10) allows you to test the water with your bare fingers while the terry serves as a towel that helps you maintain a firm grip on the child.

I think they're a good idea and probably useful, but I wouldn't use them myself. We don't use the tub, we use the sink, so I don't have the whole "slipping around" problem. And by the time we use the bath, I don't need two hands on them at all times.
