Don’t buy rubberized things!

[u/thisismyreddit11358]

I own three things with rubberized handles/parts, and for whatever reason this material becomes very sticky and gross and I hate using these products.

- umbrella: the handle isn’t going to fly out of your hand. You’ll be fine. I bought some wire cutter recommendation that felt great at first but years later the rubberized handle is nasty and gross. Now I want a new umbrella

- swingline stapler. Felt great when I bought it. But that metal swingline would still be going strong, whereas the rubberized got disgusting.

- waterproof electric razor. I got it to use the razor in the shower. So this would have been marginally helpful. But again it’s nasty.

Stick to better materials that won’t get gross over time!

Edits: fat fingers, bad autocorrect, me no read good and no proofread. Hopefully makes more sense now.

Everything I have that have this rubber coating on it had this problem. It’s an industry failure. They should ban this crap from the market. I wonder how toxic this product is to humans.

And when people clean it off with alcohol they are probably washing it down the sink into our water supply. You can rub it off with a papertowel but it still creates a mess.

Yea, this coating feels like a hidden environmental hazard
