Cleaning on the go...

After a day in the office in a tropical country (30C+/90F+ and 95% humidity) then immediately taking two flights with a short stopover (no time for a shower before or during flights) I was very glad to have a pack of these and a clean t-shirt with me.

They might be a bit OCD-antibacterial but they worked a treat on the areas that matter (I mean armpits mainly) - a quick trip to the on-board toilet, a wipe-over with a tissue and a fresh t-shirt made the world of difference.

They're designed for bed-baths in hospital. One pack of eight wipes does one whole body wash, but you don't need to use all of them at once and they're resealable.

A friend of mine turned me onto a similar product but in a larger size where you just need one to do a pretty acceptable job. When I'm traveling in a suit during the summer, I pack one in a ziploc bag with a solid color T-shirt the color of the suit, and change before the evening flight home.

I really like these wipes for freshening up - https://www.kleenex.com/en-ca/produc...SAAEgKjx_D_BwE

They are pretty much scent free, and my skin doesn't object to them. They are also a decent sized wipe for a 'cat lick' on the go.

Don't you also wipe off your deodorant as well? That would concern me for the next few hours

With the ones I mentioned (the Clinell ones in the orginal post) the deodorant problem doesn't matter because they contain medical-grade antiseptic (Chlorhexidine) which will kill any smell-causing nasties. As I said, that might be OCD and OTT.

So it's not just a wet-wipe, it's an industrial-strength wet-wipe, specifically designed for longer-term anti-bacterial protection.

These are a good product for men (but there are similar for women).

Just google: Gatsby Ice Deodorant Body Paper Ice


Cools you off very nicely and freshens you up. A Japanese product, but I assume you can get them in other East Asian countries where you may have tropical temps

Cheaper than paying for special branded products is to just bring durable wipes with you

Walmart https://www.walmart.com/ip/37306566
or CVS http://bit.ly/2suEgP7

Bring a small hand sanitizer with and squeeze into the wipe and wipe yourself down
