Best way to dry hands in a public bathroom?

Question

Paper towels create lots of waste but those hand dryers are supposed to be unsanitary (a new study found that it sucks up the fecal bacteria from the air and just blows it all over your newly washed hands.) 🤢
So... what’s a different way that’s sanitary but also good for the environment?

Answer

I always use paper towels. That way I can use the paper towel to turn off the water and open the door as well.

Answer

I mean.. you could carry a hand towel in your purse lol. My grandma did that one year when we went to Vegas 😂 it is kinda smart. At the end of the day she would take it out and exchange it for a new one.

Answer

If hand dryers were that bad, then a lot more people would be sick with a variety of different infections than is already the case. I wouldn’t use a hand dryer if it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while, but then again I probably wouldn’t use the toilets either if they were that bad. 
I think hand dryers are fine but if you’re concerned then use antimicrobial (not just antibac!) hand sanitiser afterwards to be safe. If you’re about to prep food/work in a lab or something like that then you should use paper towels.
