germs, ick. {giveaway}


i've been buying and using "instant" hand sanitizer for a while now. when i had my first baby, i made sure everyone who invaded our personal space to coo over her first got a squirt of the stuff. and i still have it readily, even now that my babies are 2 and 5. we use it before and after we get in the shopping buggy, after playing on the playscape, before eating on the go, after Sunday school at church, and after we wash hands in a public bathroom.
what can i say? i'm a mom and i don't like germs. so when OutLast™ contacted me to try their brand of hand sanitizer, it was a no brainer.

OutLast™ Hand Sanitizer, a patented formula originally developed for hospitals, kills germs on contact and can control germs for up to 6 hours.
just think of all the germs your children come in contact with in a 6 hour period... LOTS!
i tried OutLast™ and was impressed with two things 1- it didn't have a strong smell and 2-it wasn't sticky. the 2oz bottle tucks nicely in my kids' backpacks and i like to keep one in the console of my car.
it does contain 70% ethyl alcohol, which irritates Bubba's sensitive skin, so i didn't use it on him. i gave sample bottles to a few moms in our playgroup and they were very excited to find a longer-lasting hand sanitizer. did you know that most leading instant hand sanitizers only work for 2 minutes? is that why it's called "instant"?
