Soap paper
Too many times in a public bathroom or porta potty without soap and hand sanitizer isn’t clean enough for me. I remember getting some at pier 1 but that closed. Besides Amazon, has anyone seen them in an actual store?
I love the idea! But I’d love to find them somewhere.

Re: Soap paper
Other than Anti-bacterial hand wipes; I dont think you're going to find this in a store. I know I have never seen them.
I would just order from Amazon.

Re: Soap paper
Never even heard of these, but I think I need some myself!
I despise public bathrooms with no soap

Re: Soap paper
You can also get a small travel size bottle like you'd use for shampoo etc when travelling and just fill it with hand soap and keep it in your purse

I thought about that too but I carry a small crossbody and I’d be the one where the bottle opens up all over ??

I always feel better with that too because alcohol actually kills stuff, whereas soap- well I just don't feel it kills as much.

In a pinch, hand sanitizer can disinfect if it’s at least 60% alcohol.
But hands down, soap and water is the most effective way to remove chemicals and all kinds of germs, including the novel coronavirus, infectious disease experts say.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends frequent handwashing for at least 20 seconds to prevent the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19.
Why is soap and water better? For starters, there are limits to how well hand sanitizers disinfect.
Hand sanitizers don’t eliminate everything
Applying hand sanitizer may be easier, but even the ones with sufficient alcohol content cannot remove all types of bacteria and viruses.
Soap and water are far more effective at removing such common illness-causing germs as cryptosporidium, norovirus and Clostridium difficile. Soap also washes away bacteria as well as other viruses that are even tougher than coronaviruses.
...
Hand sanitizers also probably cannot remove or inactivate harmful chemicals we may come into contact with. In one study, people who reported using hand sanitizer to clean their hands were found to have increased levels of pesticides in their bodies.
If you have touched harmful chemicals, experts recommend washing carefully with soap and water or as directed by a poison control center.

Yeah I prefer soap and water. Soap doesn't kill germs though unless it's antibacterial soap. The rubbing action gets rid of them. I also prefer alcohol wipes to sanitizer in liquid form. And if you are using the bathroom, you are likely not coming in contact with pesticides.

All this.
I just like the germ killing action of alcohol.
I feel safer...especially nowadays

Soap breaks down the phospholipid membranes on bacteria and viruses. Soap is always the best choice if you have access to it.

How would this work in a porta potty situation with no sink?
