Purple Star emoji 28 items
Digging through your bag at the grocery store entrance while people wait behind you is its own special kind of panic. If you carry sanitizer but can never find it when your hands are sticky, greasy, or just touched a gas pump handle, this lineup is f...

Clip-On Sanitizer Holders for Purses and Totes

I lost three bottles of sanitizer inside my tote before I realized the problem wasn't me, it was not having a holder that clips to the outside. These attach in seconds and actually hold on through a full day of errands.

Clip this to your purse strap and forget about it until you need it. I used to fumble through my bag at the checkout line every single time. Now I just reach down and pump. Perfect for anyone who carries a crossbody.

Grab a few of these if you swap scents constantly. The clasp is sturdy enough that it survived my toddler yanking on it for a full Target run. Great for anyone whose bag gets tossed around.

Switch to this if you hate the gel texture. It sprays like a tiny perfume bottle and fits in any clip holder. I keep one on my work bag and people always ask what it is. Smells like actual citrus, not rubbing alcohol.

Snag these before your next trip. I clipped one to my backpack, one to my gym bag, and gave two away. The silicone stretches around most travel bottles and the carabiner is surprisingly solid for the price.

Use this if you want something that doesn't scream “pandemic accessory.” It looks like a little leather keychain and nobody even notices it's holding sanitizer. I got compliments on mine at a wedding.

Keep this one on your diaper bag strap. The bottle is small enough to not weigh anything down but big enough to last a full week of playground trips. I refill mine from a big bottle at home.
Travel Hand Sanitizer With Clip

Try this if you've had holders pop off in your bag. The retractable cord means you can pump without unclipping it. I use mine on my laptop bag and it retracts right back every time.

Portable Sanitizer Bottles Worth Refilling

Half the bottles I bought leaked inside my bag within a week. These are the ones that actually sealed properly and fit standard clip holders without being too bulky or too tiny to be useful.

Toss a few of these in your cart next time you're shopping. They fit every clip holder I own and the flip cap has never leaked on me. I keep backups in my glove box so I never run out mid-week.
PURELL Advanced Hand Sanitizer Essentials Gel

Get this size if you go through sanitizer fast. It's a little bigger than most travel bottles but still clips to a bag loop. I burned through the 1 oz ones in three days with two kids.
Germ-X Original Hand Sanitizer Gel, 62% Ethyl Alcohol

Swap to this if the alcohol smell makes you gag. Lavender scent is subtle and it dries fast without leaving your hands sticky. For anyone who uses sanitizer ten times a day and is tired of smelling like a hospital.

Use this around little kids who put their hands in their mouths five seconds later. No alcohol sting and it doesn't dry out tiny hands. I clip it to the stroller and use it after every swing set.
Babyganics Alcohol-Free Foaming Hand Sanitizer

Bring this one to the office. Coworkers kept borrowing mine because it smells so good. The spray format means no goopy gel on your keyboard. I had to start hiding it in my desk drawer.

Pair this with a silicone holder and clip it to your gym bag. It doesn't leave that weird film some sanitizers do, so you can grip weights right after. Refill from the big bottle and it lasts forever.

Keep a pack of these clipped to your bag for when sanitizer alone won't cut it. Barbecue sauce on your fingers at a food truck doesn't care about gel. These saved me at a street fair last summer.

Bag Accessories That Make Clip-Ons Work Better

Some bags don't have the right loops or D-rings to clip anything to. I figured that out the hard way when my sanitizer holder slid off my tote strap into a parking lot puddle. These fix that problem.

Get this if your bag has thick straps that tiny clips can't fit around. The rotating hook grabs onto almost anything. I use it for my sanitizer holder and also hang my bag from restaurant tables with it.

Toss one of these on your keyring and use it to attach any holder to any bag. The locking gate means it won't pop open when you're rushing. Lost a holder before I started using locking clips.

Wear this on errand days. It has built-in loops perfect for clipping sanitizer holders and your keys. I stopped carrying my big purse to the grocery store entirely. Everything I need is right here.

Switch to this bag if you're tired of fighting with your current one. It has external loops specifically designed for clip-on accessories. My sanitizer, keys, and sunglasses case all hang right where I can reach them.

Use this for day trips when you don't want a full backpack. The front loops hold a sanitizer clip perfectly and the whole thing folds into its own pocket. I take it to theme parks and farmers markets.

Clip your sanitizer holder to this and then attach it to any bag. It looks polished enough for work and the leather loop is wide enough for most carabiner clips. I rotate it between three different bags.

Stick one of these on your sanitizer holder if you're the person who leaves things everywhere. I tracked mine to a restaurant booth once. For anyone who clips things on and then forgets they exist.

Sanitizer Holders for Specific Situations

Clipping one to my purse solved 80% of the problem. But the gym, the car, and the stroller each needed their own solution. I stopped trying to move one holder around and just set up stations instead.

Try this if you want sanitizer literally attached to your phone. You're already holding your phone everywhere you go anyway. I popped this on and now I sanitize right after touching door handles without thinking about it.

Get this for your kid's school backpack. Mine used to come home with sticky mystery hands every day. Now the sanitizer is right on the outside where they can actually reach it without a teacher's help.

Use the clip ring on this to hang a sanitizer holder from your carry-on handle. Airport trays, armrests, seatbelt buckles. I pump before and after every flight now and it's right there on my bag.

Snap this onto your stroller and tuck a sanitizer bottle in the side pocket. Playground, zoo, mall play area. I reach over and pump without stopping. Parents of toddlers, this saves your sanity.

Clip your sanitizer holder right next to this on your hiking pack. Trail bathrooms are a nightmare and sometimes there's no soap. I always have both water and sanitizer accessible on the outside of my pack now.

Keep a full-size sanitizer bottle in the pocket behind your seat. Gas stations, drive-throughs, parking lots. I pump right after getting back in the car. My kids know the rule now and do it without being asked.

Clip a holder to the side D-ring before you walk into the gym. Touch a bench, sanitize. Grab a dumbbell, sanitize. I stopped getting random breakouts on my hands after I made this a habit.
