I try to wash just my hands, but normally, I also wash my wrists as well. I don't want to wash just my fingers, because the idea is to get my hands washed, after all. Do you have a secret, or do you just not worry if the sleeves get wet? Thanks!

I thought I was the only one....
I do wear long sleeves because of preferring the look, but all those things really bother me too!
Usually, I'll roll if a button type shirt, push if it's a t-shirt type shirt, and use the notz method for those sleeves that have been damnably stretched and won't stay. (The "notz method"! At last there's a name for it!
)
(OCD, yes, though it is the least problematic of my dx's).
Edited to add: Ooooh, yes, 3/4 sleeves... do like them!
