Just bought a handful of these 5 for 5$ and two holders one with tribal beads and the other pink rhinestones. The scents are soo cute I picked up Paris amor, pink champagne,pink diamonds, black Pearl and pink chiffon. They all smell delightful and will Def repurchase. I've also seen that they have light up ones online, the robot one is my next one to purchase

These are amazing. Join the hype and you'll see!! every time I put on hand sanitizer I always get compliments on the smells (I choose yummy flavors like honey and vanilla and stay away from the cologne and musky ones because they react with you "hand smell" and smell funky after a while) The packaging could use some work to prevent all of the santizers i've drained in the past!! I've owned about 20 of these in the past 4-5 years!

Another amazing thing about these is that when I used this sanitizer in a biology lab at school, the petri dish for the hand that was sanitized using this was LITERALLY 99.9% clean of the bacteria and germs that were present before. It's gross when you see your germs on a petri dish haha

This is definitely a must-have stuff because it does its amazing job. it cleanse my hands without drying them ;) they also got more than 60 lovely scents :D here are the scents i got:
-warm vanilla sugar : sweet, spicy, and warm, i should control myself not to lick my hands after using this :D
-fresh market apple : this belongs to my sis. it is exactly apple with some sweet notes, but i dont know why it smells like my floor cleaner :s
-dancing waters : this belongs to my mom. the scent is not sweet at all,smells clean, fresh,subtle and perfumy and wont bother your nose.
they have a great staying power on my hands, i can still smell it hours after usage. unfortunately its not widely available in my country, except if you buy this online :)

I very rarely use hand sanitizer - it tends to dry out my hands, mangle my cuticles, and remove the topcoat from my polish. Also, nothing is a substitute for a good handwashing. However, there are times when hand sanitizer is better than nothing, so I do keep one in my purse (Grape Glam, long d/c'd) and one in my backpack (Fresh Market Apple). The price is pretty much right @ US$1.50 each - my only regret is that I can't justify buying any of the cute seasonal scents or taking advantage of the sales, since I would accumulate a shipping container-sized stash of Pocketbacs in no time flat. I like to stick to fruity/foody or quasi-foody/fruity scents to avoid weirdness when eating with my hands later, but the scents are light enough that you shouldn't slay most people even if you're using Japanese Cherry Blossom (unless you're on the subway or something, in which case you shouldn't use scented products in such close quarters regardless).

LOVE THE SMELL. I put these things everywhere! On my lunchbox, on my purse, and they even started making MAGNETIC HOLDERS for these things! I could stick them right on the side of my locker! Overall, this product is a fun way to avoid germs and smell good!

I love these. They dont dry out your hands and are very exfoliating. I use mine about 10 times a day. I just wish they had more product in them but for only a dollar i can go get more without worrying if i m spending too much lol

I go through about 10 of these in a year and I love them. Personally I enjoy the smell but my brother complains when I put it on as the alcohol smell is very prominent. This smell however always makes my hands feel clean and bactaria free. It also helps too make your hands feel cool on a hot day.

These are a really smart marketing idea from B&BW - because they are so collectable! And they really are the perfect size for your pocket, backpack, purse, glove compartment, etc. I like them for camping and travel, when I don't always have access to soap and running water. Also good for when you are sick and don't want to spread germs. The ones I have (Fresh Lemon and White Citrus) do dry my hands out slightly, but not so badly that I wouldn't repurchase them. I do plan on getting some more since they are so inexpensive; I like to give some to my so since he works in a convelescent home with sick patients. Very cute and convienient, and I love that they come in so many different scents!

I love these mini hand sanitizers they are so handy. You can purchase a holder that makes you put your s anitizer on your bag purse car keys etc... I love most of the scents , but i Hate The smores marshmallow treat and the donut scentes ones. They make me have a headache. I'm not a big fan of very sweet smells. My favorite one is the light scented ones like dancing waters, Blueberry, apple pie and other fruity and light scents. :)

I am fast becoming addicted to these cute little guys. I have been collecting (actually hoarding them to be more specific) for a couple of years now, and I simply adore them! They are pricey and are only best purchased with the 5 for $5.00 deal that seems to be continuously in effect. Most of the scents are awesome a few are "duds" so to speak. Sadly many of my favorite scents appeared once and never returned.They introduce many limited edition scents,
so if you love it stock up!
As far as the amount of product goes these disappear fast and will not last you long but they sure are cute!

These are so cute a nifty. I love how they have the permanent ones and then come out with new ones for every occasion. They are reasonably priced also, being 5 for $5. They also make holders for these which I love to keep on my key ring. I have a pocket back in my purse, on my keys, & in my car. Very convenient. I have also bought these for gifts. Would recommend if you want to try something that is going to work just as good as drug store hand sanitizer, but smell better! I will continue to buy.

I have a million of these, one in every purse, car, jacket, etc. They're the perfect size and so useful. And if you get them on sale, they only cost about a dollar apiece. All of the scents are pretty good -- strong at first, but they fade down pretty quickly. I prefer the scents that are similar to real foods, such as the ones that have Lemon, Lime, Basil, Apple, Vanilla, etc., because I tend to use these before I eat, and some of the more flowery, perfumey scents conflict with food. I've tried lots of other hand sanitizers such as Burt's Bees, CVS brand sprays, Purell gels, EO wipes, but I find the Bath and Body Works to be the most convenient and perfectly sized. Don't be discouraged if you don't like some of the scents -- they have so freakin' many, you can probably find one that you will like (or at least tolerate). And all hand sanitizers have an alcohol smell to some degree-- that's what makes them work!

I like these,especially since I hate and loathe everything else Bath and Body Works makes. The big plus about these is that they are cute and portable. Nothing to get lost or forget. I have one on every bag. The bad part about these is that the scents are a little too lingering and pungent....and ounce for ounce, these are more expensive than regular hand sanitizer. I have though about refilling the bottles with the generic stuff. I think I will do that, lol! But overall, these are great if you can stand the smell!

These are so adorable that I bought an army of them! They are cheap, light and smell yummy (at least the ones I picked). I especially love the halloween and holiday scents. I rotate them around so I don't get bored of the scent quickly.. =)

I love these! They're small and cheap enough that I have 5 or so and keep one in each of my bags, haha. They do a good job cleaning your hands without being sticky, and the scents are pretty true to the corresponding lotions/etc.
The only thing I've noticed is that they can evaporate if you don't close the lid all the way, so I always twist them extra tight and make sure to close the flip-top really good. Other than that, great product!

great little item! there are holders so the gel can be attached to your purse etc. when you use the gels with the holders, its a great way to get kids to keep hands germ free during cold/flu season and otherwise. for girls the sweet scents combined with the glitter holders, are a big hit. for boys i've bought the unscented gel, and the holder that looks like camo. i give them out to adults too, friends and family, for their purses, car etc. great way to always have germ killer at hand.


they have new scents all the time for various seasons/holidays, which are limited edition. many are very intensely scented which is good imo because you can try a new scent, but also because they act like little scent refreshers during the day.
