I used not wash my hands at all. I knew it was disgusting but the Russian Roulet I was playing with the soaps was making crazy...then old woman shouted at me in the bath room when she saw me try to walk out after just rinsing my hands with hot water.

That's when I got the antibacterial gel.

If they could only make cheese soap now. Sorry to horn in on these puns but I thought this thread needed more cow-pun.

As I understand it, the mechanical action of washing contributes quite a bit to keeping your hands clean. If you diligently scrub all areas of your hands, you can walk away from the sink with a pretty clear conscience. Actually, even if you do use soap you should still scrub away.

Yes, soap is meant to reduce the surface tension of water, allowing the oil on your skin to mix with the water to flush away dirt and bacteria (won't kill them). Antibacterial soap isn't necessary. You could also try convincing people to wash their hands with boiling water to kill bacteria.

Soap's main claim to fame is that each end of the soap molecule grabs onto water and oil respectively, allowing water to grab onto grease and carry it away.

I think you guys are missing the point. Its not up to LittleSin what kind of soap goes in the public washrooms, and everytime she goes, its a crapshoot of whether she'll have an allergic reaction or not.
I suppose you could bring a travel size soap, or bar soap in a travel case with you instead of the the antibacterial gel.

Nah. I'm just airing my dissatisfaction which the whole EVERY GERM MUST DIIIEEEE!!! mentality I am confronted with so often which results in every soap dispenser everywhere being filled with triclosan-laden soapadoom. So instead of being gentle on your skin, "public" soap often ends up being stinky, overly drying, and generally disgusting.

Hmm...bringing personal soap doesn't sound like such a bad idea, really.

My mom once bought me a little plastic container filled with these paper-thin sheets of soap. They foamed under water, and they were easy to carry around. I wish I still had some. Really handy.

Haha I had some soap flakes like that once. My purse got stolen out of my car and the only thing missing where those flakes.
