I'm a school librarian and the germs that surround me daily are numerous. I don't have regular access to a sink anymore so I keep a bottle of Susan Brown's Baby moisturizing hand sanitizer in my desk. ladyfingers on "Do you use hand sanitizer?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer#post-653134 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:13:00 +0000 ladyfingers 653134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes every time I do a diaper change. I don't like picking LO up with possible feces on my hand and can't just leave him on the changing table while I go wash my hands. So I use the sanitizer until I can get him and get to a sink. I don't believe in over using it though for cold prevention, etc. MamaBehr on "Do you use hand sanitizer?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer#post-653126 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:07:44 +0000 MamaBehr 653126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It's funny, before kids I wouldn't touch the stuff. Then, just seven months in daycare and two kids later, I'm use the stuff all the time!!! I was so against it before, but my immune system is pretty strong, DS and DD's immune systems, not so much. We also wash our hands a lot, but on the run from the park or something like that, we use it. I have wipes in my stroller and purell in my diaper bag and in the car. teamjse on "Do you use hand sanitizer?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer#post-653075 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 19:43:58 +0000 teamjse 653075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I prefer to wash my hands but Dh use the kind from Babyganics. prettylizy on "Do you use hand sanitizer?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer#post-653073 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 19:43:42 +0000 prettylizy 653073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I keep a mini-bottle in the diaper bag just in case I'm feeling grodie on the run, but I prefer soap and water Ocean girl on "Do you use hand sanitizer?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer#post-653071 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 19:42:55 +0000 Ocean girl 653071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I prefer to wash my hands but I work at a hospital so I end up using it a few times a day... I don't find it leaves a film on my hands... Grace on "Do you use hand sanitizer?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer#post-652914 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 18:43:07 +0000 Grace 652914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't like to because the alcohol dries me out and also, it makes me feel dirty. That's counter-intuitive, but I feel that if my hands are dirty, then they won't be clean until I wash them. Having said that, I have one in my purse for if i sneeze and can't get to a washroom (like in church), but that's more for other people's health than mine. reyorra on "Do you use hand sanitizer?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer#post-652839 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 18:21:55 +0000 reyorra 652839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not regularly, but we do have it around.

Its an easy thing to store in my glove box. Otherwise, I'm not a fan of it. mrs. 64 on "Do you use hand sanitizer?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer#post-652810 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 18:13:45 +0000 mrs. 64 652810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No. I prefer washing my hands. I'm an elementary school teacher and I'd rather be washing my hands 10x a day than hand sanatizing that often. I only get sick about once a school year and with all the germs in my classroom I consider that a success!

It actually smells good though so I don't mind using it when I remember I have it.

It dries my skin out badly. blackbird on "Do you use hand sanitizer?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer#post-652093 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:14:32 +0000 blackbird 652093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ nope. germ theory for me!

My hands get eczema and hand sanitizer makes it worse. I'll use it occasionally but I don't carry it around with me. I do usually have wipes in my car, not my purse though. Mrs. Polish on "Do you use hand sanitizer?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer#post-652035 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:00:00 +0000 Mrs. Polish 652035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have a bottle on the changing table and on the coffee table. I buy a big thing from Sam's Club so it's their generic brand. We have Purcell at work and I hate the waxy feeling it leaves on my hands. I like the gel better than foam. But at home we wash if we have time, but in a pinch use the hanitizer.

It leaves my hands feeling clean instead of grimy. Plus there is no harsh alcohol smell. SAHM0811 on "Do you use hand sanitizer?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer#post-652023 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 12:57:43 +0000 SAHM0811 652023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We use CleanWell or Purell. It's nice for use at parks and playspaces. Hand sanitizer use has been shown to be as effective as hand washing! autumnlove on "Do you use hand sanitizer?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-hand-sanitizer#post-652017 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 12:53:44 +0000 autumnlove 652017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not regularly!

I will use hand wipes, but generally just try to wash my hands as often as possible instead. Do you use Purell/hand sanitizer?
