Dude Wipes

This is a product that I recommend. They're wet wipes, like alcohol wipes, only without the alcohol, and they're made from plant fibers. They are labeled as flushable, but I wouldn't recommend flushing them unless you have a strong sewer system. I don't say this from experience because I've never tried flushing them, but I do know that not everything that is labeled as flushable is truly flushable.

There are several types available. I generally use the ones with Aloe Vera. They can be used for anything you might use wet wipes for, and they are soothing, unlike alcohol wipes. They come in large packets, although I usually order the ones that come with, I think it is 16 large packets, along with one small pocket-sized packet, and a bottle of deodorizer. I used these when I am camping because I can simply bury them and let them compost into the ground, and, although I rarely have to use them, I often carry a small packet of them in my pocket for long hikes, just in case.

For camping or on hikes, they are not only useful for bathroom necessities, since they pack up smaller than toilet paper and have the added cleaning function. More often, I'll use them to wipe sweat from my face or to wash my hands.

My wife won't try them because they're called "Dude Wipes," but there's no reason they couldn't be used by women as well. They're a whole lot better than alcohol wipes.

I have been using them for a few years now, and have them on subscription from Amazon.

Maybe I'll get some to carry in my car. I carry a roll of T.P. just in case, but have never needed to use it. The only time I've used wipes is during a colonoscopy prep, and I throw them in the trash. There are brands of toilet paper that are bad for your sewer and septic systems (here's looking at you, Charmin), so I don't trust anything that says "flushable." I did buy a case of baby wipes years ago as a recommended prepper thing, but I believe they have gone past their Use By Date and are probably dried out. (The money I've wasted.)
 
The only wet wipes product I buy are Wet Ones Antibacterial Hand Wipes. I keep a few in my handbag and in our vehicles for cleaning our hands after pumping gas or whatever.
I carry travel-sized hand sanitizer and paper towels (and disposable gloves) in my car & truck because I have to take my trash to drop-off points, and sometimes get funky stuff on them. I don't want that gunk getting on my steering wheel. Those Wet Naps always seem to dry out before they get used.

I don't like a bunch of junk in my car, but I do have the gloves in a storage compartment with the tire changing tools. I buy the wet wipes that are individually wrapped in the small plastic pouches and haven't had any dry out when carried for years.

I got all sorts of crap I'll never need in my Mazda in a carrier that hangs over the back seat and is accessible from the hatch.
 
I'm the type who uses packing tape to get small lint off of carpet. I'm not carrying a bunch of clutter in my car. :ROFLMAO: When I get a new registration sticker I practically use a laser level to make sure it's positioned correctly.
I live at the end of a long gravel right-of-way, and as often as not, the last leg of my long driveway loses the gravel and it's dirt & mud. I gave up on "fastidious" a long time ago.
