I don't, but the bars can be very hard on the hands.

If you have soft hands and want to maintain their softness, I do recommend using weight gloves. Some do not like the callouses.

I do use wrist straps when lifting heavy weights. I find my grip is severely depleted after several sets/reps with heavy weights and the wrist straps alleviates this for me.

And depending on the gloves themselves, this can be pretty significant. On pulling exercises (like deadlifts or rows), or pull-ups, you may find that wearing workout gloves actually limits your ability to lift as much weight, since your grip will often give out before the muscles that you are primarily training do.
