        Lotion is cheap, staying hydrated is cheaper

          When lotion is not cutting it then....

          I take 200grit sandpaper to get the rough spots off then use 400grit to get a silky smooth finish. Make sure to do a wet sanding, I use a bit of hand lotion as the wetting agent.

          Works well on hands and feet, if your skin is that Velcroy then you won't even notice the sanding has hurt you. Fingers are a bit tender for a few days but it's worth it.

            If you work with your hands then no amount of hydration will solve this. You build up calluses and that's what causes the rough spots and catches on the MF.

                OP has sensory issues related to neurodivergence. It's not uncommon, I have an undiagnosed family member in denial who can't stand touching anything plastic.

                  That's a crap microfiber cloth if it feels like velcro. All mine feel almost as smooth as silk on one side, and soft suede on the other.

                    Or they have dry hands that catch on stuff like microfiber cloths. I hate touching them when my hands are dry and rough from doing yard work or woodworking, but no issue when they aren't.

                      Dry skin is mostly caused by not enough oils being on your skin, which normally prevent the water from escaping. You'll have a hard time hydrating so much that that's no problem at all.

                      But at the same time, the cheapest lotion will do the trick. In principle, you can even use sunflower oil or similar. The water isn't picky from what oil it gets blocked...

                        Is that usable for dusting then, or is that for something else? I feel like for dusting, you want a somewhat rougher structure, so it can hold the dust better...

                            They've all come with glasses or other glass lensed items, and I use them more for removing smudges than dust. But that's why it has two sides. It doesn't need to be rough, it just needs a lot of surface area. The suede-like side provides that, but even my dry-ass hands don't get that funky Velcro feeling rubbing against it.

                              Hmm ig that could be possible but I still don't think it's related to ADHD.

                                Maybe not, but people with adhd are definitely more likely to talk about something that bothers them

                                  As far as I'm aware, the microfiber cloths specifically made for dusting have a structure like this:

                                  Microfiber cloths looking almost like they're knitted.

                                  So, it isn't (intentionally) rough either. You wouldn't really scrub with these. But yeah, certainly not ever going to be silky smooth either...

                                    Then you have some smooth hands.
