I had a small bottle I was keeping in my purse, but it is just about gone so I bought another one to replace it. I was just thinking though I have a larger one in my car, I could have just refilled the small bottle I have with that, but didn't think of it,,,maybe next time since I already bought a replacement. Covid or not, I think it is good to have around.

I agree; it's good to have around. I carry a small bottle in my purse and we have bottles in our glove compartments for the vehicles.
Now that I'm looking at it, there's a bigger bottle on the table near our front door.

@snowy22315 This bigger bottle was given to us, complimentary, at the check out line of a local store.
I remember being very grateful; you really can't be too careful.

Even before covid, it has been my family's practice to carry hand sanitizers everywhere.

@snowy22315 Hand sanitizers from Bath & Body was quite popular here pre covid days and it was more convenient to carry around everywhere.

Yes, I carry a small spray container (about the size of a credit card) in my pocket and we use it often. (Walmart kept giving them to associates and a lot of people didn't want them so I gathered them up and kept bringing them home. We still have thirty or so of the small containers left.)

@DaddyEvil Remember when Covid first started? You couldn't find it anywhere, and they kept recommending it on TV.

@snowy22315 Yes, they are. We have a few large bottles if we ever run out of the small containers.

@RubyHawk I could have a bottle in the bathroom, but I think I gave most of mine away. I know there is a medium sized bottle in the car.

@snowy22315 I’d practically forgotten about mine I haven’t had it out in so long. I still have a couple of larger bottles in the bathroom.

For sure nowadays I don't carry it but I do make sure I wash my hands thoroughly with soap and water and I avoid greeting people by my palms usually elbow or waving

I find it comes in handy. The little bottles don't take up much room either.

No, come to think of it, but every time I am a place where it is offered free to use, I always do. When the pandemic first started the sanitizer I had dried my hands out. So I found a moisturizing hand sanitizer from Gold Bond, which I loved. When I ran out, and couldn’t find more, I quit buying it. So now I just wash my hands even more.

I usually avail myself of those big bottles too. I am glad some of the stores still have it around.

Some stores still have it at their entrance, so I might take advantage of that. I do have a little teeny bottle in my purse in case I need it. But in most cases I do try to use a restroom to soap and water my hands clean. My dentist was about not using too many chemicals - she'd actually have soap and a jug of water in her car!!

Yes, well I don't use it constantly, just whenever I feel I might need it. It is comforting to know it is there and it doesn't take up much room.

@snowy22315 When I can, I reach a rest room and wash my hands. Where I cannot I use the sanitizer, I do not want to touch my mouth or rub my eye with dirty hands.

I have carried a tiny one in my purse for years, way before the pandemic. I am one of those people who catch things very easily. I keep one in the car console as well.

Yes, you never know when you might want to wipe your hands in the car anyway. It's good to have around.
