According to USA Today, 93% of women always wash their hands after going to the bathroom. The percentage of men that do? 77%. Yuck! I will go on the record that men should be even more concerned about lathering up post-pee than women, due to what you’re, ahem, gripping down there.
But of course, people are going to exaggerate in a survey like this: the paper found that while 96% of adults CLAIM to always wash their hands, only 85% do so in practice every time.
Do you always wash your hands after the restroom, Lovelies? FESS UP!

For the most part yes. But if I drink coffee im constantly peeing at work. So washing my hands 4 times in an 8 hour work period is enough. Anything more and im begging people for lotion so my hands dont crack.

ALWAYS. oh my gosh what about the other 7%??? they should be ashamed of themselves.
Ashamed.
ASHAMED!!!!

I use hand sanitizer. I have sensitive skin, there for, most soaps give my hands horridly dry skin, not to mention itchy. Some places do have soaps I can use, so I do. But, for the most part I stick to hand sanitizer.

Pee is sterile unless you have an STD or a bladder infection, so if I’ve taken a piss, I don’t wash my hands. Its a waste of water.
guest
Lol, 93%? That is bullshit. People are not nearly as clean as you’d think. Women are just as gross as men when it comes to bathroom behavior. I have seen things…:shudder:

I go pee so often that I don’t wash my hands every time. Hello 7%.

It’s probably more important to wash your hands before you pee… Unless of course, you manage to avoid touching every surface in the bathroom with your hands (plausible, my mother does it).
guest
I always wash my hands, especially when I’m using a public restroom. But having to share a bathroom at home with a bunch of boys, I always wash my hands… cause you never know.
I’ve noticed that most girls at my community college don’t wash their hands and then I see them munching on snacks and stuff in class. GROSS.
guest
Heck yes!

Always. I don’t know how people can’t.
guest
Even if I didn’t use the toilet, as long as I went in I just have a habit to wash my hand before I comes out.

Where did you get this info. from? Because my sociology teacher told me that men wash their hands more often than women… Sounds unlikely, eh?
guest
That’s not surprising but nonetheless gross

guest

Urine, like blood, is sterile while it is INSIDE of the body. Wanna know what’s NOT sterile? The genital area. Why do you think yeast and urinary tract infections are so common? It’s NOT a region that is generally considered to be free of bacteria. And you think it’s ok to be walking around with THAT on your hands? Not to mention, pee just smells bad. Would YOU want to be walking around and shaking hands all day with people whose hands have urine and who knows what else on them? Do you want to use the same door handles or eat off of the plates that have been carried to you by these same people? Do you want those people to be babysitting your children, or feeding cancer patients? Right then. Neither do we. Please be an adult and wash your hands.

ughh… even if you “just pee” think about how you touched the door to get into the bathroom… touched the lock on the door to get in… touched the side of the door to close it… perhaps touched the stall wall?…. touched the flusher… touched the door lock again to get out… touched the sink….
Wow… please wash your hands ladies… even after a pee -___-
No respect for people who don’t…. who the fuck raised you?
guest
@SicTransitGloria19@xanga - I would hate to touch anything you come in contact with then…ffsss gross.
Try using a hand sanitizer that has moisturizing lotion in it or perhaps bringing along those wet wipes… or even using moisturizing soap…. and washing your hands more often shouldn’t increase dryness in your hands…. just an fyi
guest
@petiteme_x@xanga - i dont know about you but i dont piss all over my hands after i use the bathroom. And who knows maybe i built the computer your typing on with my bare hands?
guest
Always! Ew….I dont even want to think about people who dont wash their hands and then touch door handles and elevator buttons. Yuckkk
guest
Always no, often yes.
guest
For some reason I always end up being the one that gets out of the toilet, go to wash my hands, some other girl comes out and she just WALKS OUT and I’m left there standing all grossed out. EWWwwW.
