Don't use it, never have outside of hospitals.
I'd rather wash my hands with soap and water.

So would I but it's kind of difficult to carry soap and water in your pocket.

Since the H1N1 scare we have them all over the office and we are getting touchless washrooms. Honestly, I wash my hands already but the hand sanitizers are done after I wash or when I am not going to the washroom and it's on my way. I can see them helping to cut down on the transmission of bugs anyway as it get's people more into the ritual of being clean.

At home I use soap and water but when I am out and about I have no problem with using a hand sanitizer.

Soap and water is just fine. Its the friction and the rinsing that does the trick.
Hand sanitizers are good when soap and water is not available, but you should still wash your hands when you can get to a sink. Anti bacterial soap is over used and is causing problems with natural body flora. We need some natural protection.
Its like the over use of antibiotics. Kids need to play in the dirt.

i am a chronic hand washer but i carry a mini bottle of hand sanitizer in my purse, coat pocket, at my desk and in my car. It may sound excessive but a few years ago i had norwalk flu and it was absolutely the most sick i have ever been and i never want to feel like that again (if i can help it)

I only use hand sanitizer because I sneeze at work occasionally. Just to stop customers from freaking out.

I never, EVER use anti-bacterials soaps and washes. Alcohol based sanitizers are the only thing I'll use beyond regular soap and water.
