What do OSers wash their hands with?

Something antibacterial, whatever's on offer...

v tempted by the lush idea though, may have to re-evaluate since it's greener

Own brand soap but antibacterial when I've cleaned out the cat's litter tray.

Don't forget that antibac soap needs to be left on your hands for at least 2 mins for it to work, if you don't leave it on for that amount of time you may as well buy ordinary soap

Not a true OSer but I try. I have weird skin that gets a rash or dries out and cracks if I use pretty much anything! Can be a pain in public toilets!

I mainly use lush soap (all my toiletries are lush cos of aforementioned weird skin and I find a little goes a long way so doesn't work out as expensive as it seems.) However at the minute I have ecover washing up liquid in my soap dispenser as it was on offer a big bottle for 50p which is def a bargain so I bought 5 bottles and it's fine for my skin.

question to the true old stylers...where do you get your pump dispensers from? Bought a liquid pump thingy from Pampered Chef party but it was £7 or £8!!! Yes it will save me money anyway as it's 1 part soap to 9parts water so liquid soap will last forever, but can I get these cheaper somewhere else??

Carex on a 2 for 1 from Tesco, about 1/8 of it tipped into an empty 'Method' bottle from Tesco that dispenses foam, then topped up with water.

Makes a little go a long way, never sick or have tummy bugs etc. so it obviously works.

That's a really good idea. I've often seen those kind of foam dispensers in hotel loos and thought they must be pretty money-saving. I must look out for one of those bottles in Tesco. Can you give me an example of something which is sold in a 'Method' bottle so I know what I'm looking for?

Expensive, but a little goes a long way as it's very concentrated. I usually get another £15 worth of goodies to get free delivery although I think the £3 delivery charge is still quite reasonable for an item which weighs around 4kg!

I bought 2 nice dispensers from Marks and Spencers about two and a half years ago - only £2 each but I am almost certain they were on sale. They are similar to these (but mine are a different colour) which are £5 (or £4 if they have another 20% off day) - maybe wait for the M&S Sale which usually starts around boxing day I think?

i have very dry hands because of eczema as a kid. I have tried all sorts of soap bars and liquids to find some that will moisturise not dry my hands out. I use natural cold processed soap which has a brilliant lather without all the chemical nasties. There are loads of suppliers out there but I use Celtic Herbal soap, lots of varieties to chose long lasting from but not cheap (they have got a 30% off offer on at the moment though). Natural Leigh is also gorgeous.
