The glove application device enables the placement of a glove on a glove retainer. An inverted glove is provided to the user to simplify placement of the glove on the glove retainer. The inverted glove presents a donning surface for insertion of the user's hands when installed onto the glove retainer. A glove indicator on the glove aligns with an orientation indicator, such as a particular location on the glove retainer, a component, or a device indicator. The application device provides an indicator such as a release toggle, a device indicator, or other component of the device that informs the user of the proper orientation of the glove when placing the glove on the glove retainer.
