Hi Subliminalkick-
I've used No Rinse products on the playa for years now. The shampoo works wonders (at least on my beard...) and the body wash definitely gets you clean. Granted, you smell like a grandmother for a little while, but you're clean!

FYI- punctuation would make your post(s) much easier to read.

Nice idea . . .

If one can't or won't use No Rinse varieties, body wash in general is easier to use than bar soap out there, because you need less water to get a lather. Paired w/ a bundle of washcloths, even if one isn't a fan in defaultia. They really help get the tenacious sunscreen/dust film off.

I don't know what an stna is.

Are any of these really acceptable?

I used one in the icu and I suppose it got some of the blood and guts off, but I found it horrifying.
The smell was really awful.

I currently have four bottles of the stuff (great for the perineal area!) in my bathroom awaiting a test run....four different varieties.

yeah plain of un cented depending on brand tend to have a hospitally smell to them

apercot usuially easy to find just concerned how it takes of the playa funk works fine on sweat and mud so forth
taking a large beach towl for each bathing and considering that they'll be toat by the end :-)

ohhhh and like i said some rince water is good does tend to leave u feeling a little weird
im using basically a bug spraying pump one with those pumps you can buy them un used not sayin use an empty raid away bottle
worked pretty well in the past

Over the years of the Pottie-project, I am convinced that some people swab themselves down with baby-wipes while in the Temples of Smell. It's like a routine. Especially if you're a guy with a furry butt or a girl who's menstruating.

For the love of GAWD! please bring a ziploc bag with you to tote them out. Burn them.

Flushable wipes are NOT OK either. If you want to throw the whole shittery into the fire, then put them into a PAPER BAG!

Ya know, even if you are a guy with a furry butt you've been wiping your furry ass for a while (it doesn't pop up over night) and should be capable of wiping with out wet wipe assistance.

Yeah, I've never gotten this application of BABY wipes. is it only a camping need some folks have? Aren't baby wipes for babies, and big grown ups use toilet paper? Are babywipes on a sidestack next to the fur bikinis at the walmart in Reno?

I think a lot of people forget they're going to use wipes in the potty until it's too late and are then too embarrassed to cart them out, even in a baggie, because the baggie is transparent. I know the answer is "suck it up and do it anyway", of course, but I think people's embarrassment should be acknowledged as a powerful force and there could perhaps be a public push for people to take "biffy bags"--small cloth bag for extra t.p., sanitizer, baggie, flashlight.

I sorta do that......well no baby wipes ( I learned how), but, take a bag, with disinfectant/cleaner ( I clean the seat and handles as my "gift" and with respect to Robbidobbs), and have a flashlight and extra T.P. in it.
