Washing your hands after going potty just makes peeing and pooing take even longer. Carrying around a small pack of hand sanitizers lets you avoid the soap and water dance you do in public places.

According to research performed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hand sanitizer is considered as effective at killing germs as washing your hands with soap and water, unless hands are visibly soiled.

The main point to remember, however, is that the alcohol content of the handrub must be at least 60 percent to be effective.

Just as good as hand washing? Why not even shorten the whole process by not washing after you pee, or when you’re at home, or when no one is around!
