Founded in February 2015 by Brooklyn native, Jason Yakubovich, the New York City based startup Pandle Inc. provides the world with a germ- and worry-free experience in public spaces. From public transportation, to fitness centers, to hospitals, the company’s innovative product is the simple solution to fighting off germs and avoiding sickness transmitted through contaminated surfaces.
Pandle is a wearable, reusable silicone handle with an integrated nanosilver solution that prevents the growth of germs on the device. By inserting the hand into the device before touching public surfaces, the user avoids coming in contact with germs while also improving grip through the unique rubber blend of the product.
Pandle was originally created for public transportation and is therefore exactly sized to cover standard subway poles. However, it can be used for any surface that may be tainted with germs. With its ultra-light and foldable design Pandle easily fits into every pocket and is ready to use in just a second.
The only public transportation near me is the city bus so I obviously don’t use this for public transportation, however, it is pretty handy for when I’m out and about with the kids. Things like opening bathroom doors (my kids LOVE public restrooms) or gripping other surfaces like stair handrails that have had many many people touching them. These are sized for a subway pole so they’re the perfect size for gripping things that you encounter on the go. And my kids think they’re awesome!
I love the bright colors and they fold up so tiny – I actually “lost” mine in my purse the first time I dropped in in there. Whoops!
Pandle is currently available for $6.99 on the company’s website and at selected shops throughout New York City. It comes in two different sizes and five different colors (black, green, blue, red, purple). For more information please visit their website at www.pandlehandle.com You can also follow them on Facebook and Twitter. Or to see the Pandle in action check out their YouTube videos.
Pandle sent me one of every color of Pandle which is pretty awesome! This giveaway is for one Pandle. Winner chooses the color. I received this product free for purposes of my review. All opinions are my own.
I can’t imagine the amount of time people waste during every day worrying about germs. I try to open bathroom doors with a paper towel to combat the non-hand washers, but this is going too far unless it calms a person with OCD.
wow what a great invention!!! pretty handy anywhere in the world.
What an interesting invention! There’s something for everyone!
I haven’t seen anything like this before! Do you have to wash it daily? It seems like the germs collected on that could spread pretty easily.
It has a nanosilver solution in it which stops germs so you don’t have to wash it every day.
What an interesting device! No more nudging doors open with the elbow!
Yes!
What a genius idea!
What an interesting product idea. I always just use hand sanitizer, but then my hands are so dry! This would be so much easier!
Very cool product! I would probably never use it in my small town where I drive everywhere though!
I entered the giveaway..thank you. I like the purple one. Would be great for public restrooms for the doors.
I hate touching those doors.
This is super cool!
Nice stuff. I love the red one. Tanks for this giveaway. I have made an entry to this.
