Whether you’re working from home, constantly on the go, or weathering a global pandemic, hand sanitizer has become something of a staple over the last two years. And if you’re in the market for a hand sanitizer dispenser worthy of your home, we may have an option for you: Our community was recently given the opportunity to test the Shimmy Home, and it didn’t disappoint.
What Is Shimmy?
Shimmy makes being eco-friendly easier than ever. The brand—founded by Ashley Wayman—aims to revolutionize the way households and businesses use everyday essentials, and to build better, more sustainable systems with all of the ease and convenience without all of the single-use plastic.

Between her roles in the consumer market and as a mother, Wayman was looking for a product that kept her family clean, safe, and germ-free. Unfortunately, most hand sanitizer options fell short in one or more areas: available options were foul-smelling or sticky, unattractive, and packaged in single-use plastic. To address these issues, she founded Shimmy for a practical and premium sanitizing experience primed for today’s market.
Where most hand sanitizers are unattractive and drying, Shimmy offers thoughtfully designed sanitizers and dispensers that are made for your home or on the go. The containers are made with as little plastic as possible, with refills packed in recyclable aluminum.
Shimmy’s hand sanitizer systems prevent more plastics from polluting our planet, and help to remove existing plastics, as well—partnerships with Climate Neutral and Plastic Bank® offset both their carbon emissions and plastic footprint.
The Good
The Shimmy Home comes with the dispenser and a 9oz cartridge of sanitizer. Each Home Refill Cartridge of sanitizer is packaged in an aluminum bottle that can be recycled after use. The dispenser is battery-powered and touchless, with three dosage settings for you to choose from. Designed to accommodate your convenience and decorating needs, Shimmy comes with a slim stand and easy-to-use wall mount.
What Our Community Thought:
- “I absolutely love the convenience of having my own automatic hand sanitizer dispenser. My kids enjoy using it and I don’t have to worry about germs spreading through my house and making us sick.” –Elizabeth Salazar
- “Easy set-up, attractive product, loved the smell. The fact that we can control the amount that is dispensed is amazing. The wall mount option was super easy to use as well.” –Stacey Tovar
- “The Shimmy is modern, convenient, and easy to use. The solution smells great and doesn’t leave a sticky residue. I like the design of the product and haven’t had any issues dispensing the sanitizer. It also gives you the perfect amount—not too much!” –Ashely Dixon
- “The Meyer Lemon scent is so clean. The sanitizer solution leaves a clean feeling that isn’t sticky or drying, which is super important to me.” –Shawna Walker
- “I really love this product. It’s easy to use—so much so that my three-year-old can do it all by herself. That’s so immensely helpful!” –Kendall Harris
Things to Work On
While our community enjoyed the Shimmy Home, they did have some feedback about the price point of the product and set-up process.
What Our Community Thought:
- “The shimmy seems a bit expensive for the use and quality of the product. However, it’s reusable so it’s a one-time cost. Maybe if they provided more sanitizer cartridges with the initial purchases, it would be a better value.” –Ashley Dixon
- “The price point feels inaccessible for many people—myself included.” –Laurie Shipley
- “I had a hard time getting the machine to work at first without a lot of help. The directions didn’t help troubleshoot.” –Joy Thrower
- “It was a little difficult to get it to work at the beginning. I felt like I had to mess with it a bit before it started actually working.” –Amber Villarreal
