How often do you use Hand Gel/sanitizer? (POLL)

[T*]

I carry a hand sanitizer almost everywhere and I use lots of it. I finish 50ml bottles so quick so I got a Jumbo one from tesco. :hugesmile:

But do you use hand sanitizer? And how often?

[Locke.]

At least 50 times per day

[reece(:]

At least 50 times per day
.

[Saph]

I always use it at work

[Kizzy]

Only when out with the dog.

[T*]

Also, Do you like it scented or do you not mind? I really like scented ones and when I can I get them.

[MTVN]

Never, pointless stuff

[T*]

Ew MTVN you ming :joker:

[Verbal]

I use it all of the time, in this day and age I think its only sensible to do. I have a big bottle in my bathroom and carry a pocket size bottle around with me. This is probably not advisable but I also like to inhale it when its on my hands its kind of like a shot of whisky. :joker:

Yeah, Because of the day and age where the population is getting bigger and everything, etc. :)

Also, You like to inhale it? :p

[Josy]

At least 50 times per day

This.

I also have the mini ones in my bag that I use after touching trolleys/baskets doors etc etc

[Smithy]

Never, I wash my hands after using the toilet and stuff, or if i but it in something rank, but aside from that :shrug:

[T*]

50+ times for me like Locke said.

[MTVN]

Thought people were just joking about the 50 times a day thing, how silly

[Kate!]

I always have one in my bag.

[T*]

It's better to be safe than sorry!

[Josy]

Its something we have to do because of smelly people like you Matt :idc:

[MTVN]

Few germs wont do you any harm

[GypsyGoth]

The only time I use something like that is when I go in and out of hospitals.

Other than that I can't be bothered with it. I use public transport, so if I was to start worrying about this sort of thing I wouldn't have a peaceful mind when I travelled.

So I figure if I'm gonna catch something (like this damn flu) then so be it. Also trying to live in a world where you've killed 99.9% bacteria is not actually healthy for you. You're better off being exposed to stuff so your body can build up an immunity/resistance.

[Verbal]

Yeah, Because of the day and age where the population is getting bigger and everything, etc. :)

Also, You like to inhale it? :p

Yea try it its great :joker: it kind of gives a momentary burn that i've only ever felt whilst drinking Whisky. I'm just weird.

[Josy]

That's what they said before the plague.

[Stu]

Never. There are more fun ways to alleviate ones crippling neuroses.

[T*]

Look at these bad boys:

If I was in the USA i'd buy soooooo many of these.
Body shop do the mango one which is one of my favourite scents but.....
Japanese Blossom, Cupcake, Vanilla, etc. > Mango

[MTVN]

That's what they said before the plague.

Well the day I catch the plague then I will admit that you were right but not a moment before

MY NOSE PLOKJHFGDHJKSOL,NBGFDHIKSL,MNDBVFGHSUIKL,MNBGFDHUS K omfg why

[Jack_]

Only when at home after I've used the toilet, I hate those little pocket ones people carry around, I used one once and it's just disgusting not having water to rinse it with

Also as GypsyGoth said it's actually not good to try and kill every bit of bacteria you come into contact with

You arent supposed to rinse it, thats kind of defeating the object.

[Stu]

And I love germ bombing people. You can stock up on all the expensive hygiene products you want but I have promiscuous cats and high projectile sneezes. This is a war that we will win.

I am obsessed with washing my hands, so I just have like.. little shower gel things in my bag, and use them at college tbh.

If you done that in front of me I would throw your shoes up a tree.

[Verbal]

I buy the little Radox bottles that you get in the chemist for carrying around, and I have a big bottle of Spirigel in my bathroom. When the little bottles are empty I just refill them using the big bottle that I have.

Ooh! Didnt know radox started doing hand sanitizer!
I use Carex, Enliven or Proformula.

[Verbal]

They are the only ones to buy if you want scented. I once bought the cheapy scented one from the chemist and it was absolutely awful, it smelt like cheap plastic.

I want the blue and pink ones! :hugesmile:

[Stu]

This is the most insane stuff I have ever heard. It's like stepping into Oz or something. Shocking from a Whiskey drinker too. A 75cl of Powers will clean one from the inside out.

[T*]

Insane? Nope, Just hygenic!

[Princess]

Never, there's no need :S Humans aren't meant to be 100% free from germs, it's good for our immune system to not be completely covered in sanitizer the whole time. I used it all the time when I worked in a hospital and it just makes your hands so dry.

[T*]

Some dry your hands out but theres some really nice moisturising ones out there that i like.

[Stu]

I cannot ever recall being ill in the past ten years save for occasional sniffles and mid week serotonin lapses during the Kevin & Perry Go Large years. Plenty of tuna, fruit and germs.

[Me. I Am Salman]

I thought this thread was about hand wash; I don't use hand sanitizer because some of them contain alcohol and I don't trust that my hands are clean if I don't use water

[Me. I Am Salman]

Omg in our house we have sometimes have a dove beauty cream moisturising hand wash and we use it like a normal handwash but apparently that's just used to soften hands it doesn't get rid of bacteria so have our hands been dirty this entire time :/

[Apple202]

never unless i go in or out a hospital

Don't worry it will have some antibacterial stuff in it.

[Sophiee]

I use it everyday.

[Gstar]

I used to use it all the time but not anymore

[Verbal]

Yes water and its well known anti-bacterial properties

[Cherie]

Hand gels don't work very effectively unless you have washed your hands first apparently.

[Vanessa]

I only use them at work. Otherwise i normally just wash my hands.

[AnnieK]

Cuda is ill today - goes to show that killing all the germs on your hands doesn't stop you getting ill....if anything it makes you more susceptible.

Its other people not using it that makes you ill

[Vanessa]

You still need to wash you hands before using it. Otherwise it's not as effective.

[Verbal]

I always do

[Harry!]

I only use hand sanitizer if I don't have access to a basin to wash my hands or I think it will be a quicker way to clean my hands. I always wash my hands after I go to toilet.

[Samm]

I use it when I need it

[Samm]

But I wash my hands more
