A single seam finger glove that may fit onto a human finger is provided. The finger glove has a cavity so that it may easily be put on to a finger by a user and is formed by bonding together at least one nonwoven web to itself to form a tubular structure. The single seam finger glove is less irritating to the mouth of a user since it has half the seam area. Additionally, the single seam finger glove successfully prevents the formation of stiff seams along the edge so that seams will not cause abrasion or damage to the areas where the glove is intended to be used. Additionally, the single seam glove disclosed can have flush seams, which further reduces the stiffness along the seams so that the user feels more comfortable while wearing the glove. Furthermore, the single seam finger glove may provide a bigger surface area for cleaning or other uses. A number of therapeutic additives may also be applied to the glove.
