I use these while on remote hunting trips:
You can get them from Amazon with free shipping.
Depending on where you buy them, they usually cost between $0.50 and $1.00 per wipe. Worth every penny. When I am in the dirt (most days), I will use one wipe before bed. Each 10 x 8 inch wipe provides an antibacterial, rinse-free bath. They are PH balanced and alcohol free, and leave a very clean, fresh feeling. I figure each pack can save 10 gallons of water, easily.
A very good idea!
However, let me remind all: DO NOT flush these things! They will NOT disintegrate in your holding tank, nor do they disintegrate in city sewer treatment plants or rural septic tanks! Even the ones that claim to be "flushable" are causing problems in sewage treatment plants all over the country!

THINK about it: They are soaked in water, soap, and perfume, then packaged in a plastic tub or bag. If they are, in fact, "flushable", what keeps them from disintegrating in the water solution they are packed in?
