Reply to: Best emergency shower and hygiene wipes Posted October 16, 2022

Since many of the recommended products have been discontinued, I’d like to suggest looking at ones marketed to long-term care homes for washing people who can’t get up to bathe. (this is probably the rationale behind the ones that recommend using multiple wipes – avoiding spreading potential infections from more germy areas to less germy areas). I’ve used these kinds of wipes when camping and since they are marketed to LTC facilities, the prices tend to be better (assuming you can find them in a quantity that isn’t outrageous)

I’ll also add that a local library card may also give you access to other libraries in your area – for example, if you have a library card in Pennsylvania that is part of the ‘accessPA’ system, you can also get a card from the Free Library of Philadelphia. FLP has a bigger online presence than my local library.
