When you're out camping—days away from a shower—what kind of wipe actually works? A Redditor put it best:
“It seems like a lot of the body wipes out there … are literally just wipes with moisture and some fragrance. Basically like baby wipes. I’m looking for a body wipe that actually has some kind of actual cleaning agent.”
Turns out, the community has opinions—and solutions.
🧼 1. "Defense wipes" with real clean power
One user shared:
“I like the Defense wipes. I think they have tea tree oil and eucalyptus in them and are antibacterial.”
Tea tree and eucalyptus aren’t just aromatic—they help kill bacteria and fight odor. Plus, they double as mosquito deterrents:
“Those oils also keep mosquitoes away.”
🏕 2. Wilderness & no-rinse body wipe hacks
Other campers recommended wipes with actual soap-like cleaning power:
“Wilderness Wipes. They have very mild soap, but feel like a baby wipe.”
Another popular DIY trick:
“Open [baby wipes] and pour 2–4 oz of 90% isopropyl alcohol … excellent for general cleansing.”
👶 3. Baby wipes still get love
Even with all the upgrades, baby wipes still hold a place in the camping hygiene kit:
“Baby wipes!! Trust me, they will save your life!”
“They’ve been used on tiny humans with… messes. They’ll work on your stank.”
They might not be fancy, but they work.
