Dug mine out yesterday as had an event and will take today when I go out

I think loads of people are using them. They are selling them in places like H&M.

They make me more hot waving them about. I've got a battery operated one from Lidl that does the job. I've also got a neck fan that is ok.

At my niece's wedding last year, fans in the wedding colour theme were given out. I still have mine and use it when I go out when it's hot. The funny thing is the weather was cool for the wedding and the ac was on so nobody used their fan.

I got one at a wedding few weeks ago, I've been using it since then on hot days. A couple of friends also use the hand fans.

I have a small battery operated one upstairs in the bedside drawer and I use that if I wake in the night and feel a bit hot.

There were 3 people using them on the bus I got yesterday and it wasn’t busy. Loads when I was out last night and expect to see lots today when I finally drag my arse to Lord’s

I keep one in my bag pretty much all year round for when I’m out and about!

Mine is permanently in my bag, and is about to accompany me to the hairdresser.

I did drag my arse to Lord’s and didn’t see one fan! But DD and I and one other were the only women in our area of the ground

Lots pf people are. I've got some of those paper ones where the handles fold back on themselves to make a lollipop shape and have used them for years.

You really think the majority of Spanish people use traditional fans to keep cool? 👀🤣
