An egesta disposal glove for hygienically handling and containing human or animal egesta such as contained in a soiled nappy or dog mess. The egesta disposal glove has a glove portion shaped to a user's hand, and a pouch element engaged with the glove portion and having a pouch body. The glove portion has a glove body having a glove opening for enabling a user to insert their hand into the glove body. The glove portion is invertible receivable around the egesta, and the pouch body is receivable around the glove portion. This permits double-bagging to prevent or inhibit leaks and fumes emanating from egesta.
