Patti,
    I have several pairs of gloves (Hein Gerricke, O'Neal and some no-name
lightweights) and  some are better than others. The thicker gloves help some
(especially with liners), but since this is caused by cutting off blood to
the nerves in your palms, it doesn't eliminate it. Guys are usually more
top-heavy in the upper body and put more pressure on their hands and may
experience it quicker. Grips and gloves help, but less pressure from above
is the best solution.
Ciao,
Bob
