The Nrd.™ from Germ Nerds is the ultimate germ defense tool for your digits. The Nrd. allows you to touch surfaces, turn knobs and more without your skin coming in contact by simply fitting the index and middle finger in one pocket and the thumb in the other. Made of soft touch, antimicrobial silicone, this cool device folds onto itself, preventing the contaminated area from being exposed and can easily be cleaned with a dab of hand sanitizer or soapy water.
Evaluation comments:
“This is a very “of the times,” product. The packaging is colorful and inviting.”
“The nrd. is made from antimicrobial silicone, is non-toxic, and is easily cleaned with soap and water. The nrd. is a small puppet-like device that you slip your thumb, pointer, and ring finger in. It’s used to keep your fingers and hands clean while you touch dirty surfaces. The device would be easily to lose; however, the creators added a fastener with a retracting string, making it easy to attach to your waistband/bag/purse.”
“This is a great product! It is very innovative. I’ve personally never seen a product like this that has so much built in. The nrd. has a magnet that keeps the two sides together when it’s not in use, and also has a special black tip that makes using keypads a synch.”
“I really liked this product. I’m a nurse and was interested to see how it would hold up at the hospital. I hooked it onto my waist and was able to open doors, push elevator buttons, and pull out money from the ATM, all while keeping my fingers clean. As a nurse, I am well versed in microbiology, and while I try not to be a complete germaphobe, I make exceptions during Corona times.”
“If you have a friend who is a germaphobe, or even someone who is very concerned about Corona, this is a great product. I’m sure I’m not alone in wanting to touch as few surfaces as possible these days.”
“I do think the product is useful–especially in light of COVID. I like that there are magnets in it to keep the contaminated parts closed together.”
“I’ve used this product multiple times a day to avoid touching public door knobs. Since the beginning of the pandemic, my hand sanitizer use is at an all-time high, and my skin is paying the price. I like that this product eliminates the need for hand sanitizer or hand washing several times per day. This product is innovative in that it allows you to use your own grip.”
“I love that it’s helping save my poor dry and cracked hands.”
