Default aerators on faucets

As I was just washing my hands, I noticed that the sink water comes
out bubbly. I've used a few over the years, where the water came out
clear.

Other than the "savings" from lower flow, is there any other advantage
to bubbly water for hand washing. Instead of clear water?

Would it work as well if I had a simple non-aerating faucet which
delievered clear water?


It causes more suds when washing dishes by hand (if you add soap
before the sink is full). Suds have little or no function except to
overflow the sink and make a mess, but people want them anyway. I
always fill the sink THEN add soap.
