I don't use paper towels or dryers, but I do wash. I just don't want to touch something that thousands of unknowns have touched right after I wash my hands. I use my sleeve to open the door and then air dry.
Sims don't have diseases and will eat raw potatoes. Somehow I doubt they'd mind a little urine taste.
I tend to get the paper towels before I wash my hands, then wash my hands, dry them on the paper towels, and use the paper towels to open the door. I don't like touching stuff with wet hands. Or touching stuff that is still wet from other peoples' hands.

I use my elbow on the paper towel lever, or I use the hem of my shirt if there are only air dryers.

Can I just interject to suggest that this is a stupid discussion? They are SIMS. Yes we all wash our hands after using the terlet IRL. Great, fine. That's nice IRL, but with the sims it's like taking a 20 second IRL episode and dragging it on for several hours.
I personally get annoyed with sims who WASTE time by washing hands after terletting, especially when they are already on their way into the shower. It's the bloody EAxis preoccupation with all things bathroomish coming to bite us again. So no. A "wash your hands" mod is unwelcome and unnecessary. Who cares if the blighters wash their hands? They can't CATCH anything. Fucking PRETEND they wash their hands if it bothers you. You have to pretend they get out of the car now, so surely imagining they wash their hands is not so great a leap. Someone (grand genius there) also suggested that using terlet paper was implied. See, you CAN imagine things - admittedly stupid things, but things.
That's right folks. We don't get out of cars anymore - that's too much fucking animation to expect. But all the bathroom functions and tasks are spelled out in painful detail. No more neat sims for me. I will NOT watch this wanton waste of time when sims could usefully be doing something else.
I'm Senator jolrei, and I am AGAINST any and all mods that would increase time spent in bathrooms.

But jolrei, bathrooms are pure, holy creatures - like trains. Sims should do little else but spend their time in the bathrooms.
It is asinine that sims don't actually animate out of cars anymore - even without watching a vehicle I'd figured something was going to be wrong with the "go ahead and put them anywhere" driveways. Pretense is for things that do not at present exist, and while there might not be a "get out of your car" or "pull into the driveway" animation, there is a hand washing animation.
awrevell:
There is a lot to what jolrei says. A normal person takes between 30 seconds to a minute to wash their hands IRL. A sim takes 8 sim minutes to do this. This means that your normal morning activities of wake up use the toilet, take a shower and piss off the carpool cuz you took so long to do those two things would take 8 sim minutes longer... on a wasted activity since showering gets you cleaner than washing your hands.
