Like many of you I use wipes on the trail. After going to the bathroom or just cleaning up. I like a good soggy wipe. The kind that you can squeeze and have a palm full of cleanser. A mere moist one just won't do. I have bought a container of wipes and poured some Hydrogen Peroxide into the container. Do any of you juice your wipes up and what with? I don't like alcohol, dries the flesh out.

If I were you, I'd make sure you're not creating some kind of chemical reaction inside the container by adding the hydrogen peroxide. It's highly reactive stuff.

Baby wipes are very wet. You might give some a try.

I usually buy whatever I can find in individual wrappers for BPing (usually in the baby section). Not cost- or packaging-waste-efficient, I realize, but for the number of total days I spend BPing per year, I let convenience trump those things.
I bought some "Dude Wipes" on a resupply stop somewhere in CO a couple years ago. They were terrible--almost completely dry.

I’ve recently started using, as a “rinse”, .. “Wilderness Wipes” currently available at REI. Away from water sources, I’ll use a teeny bit of unscented Dr B’s (an old style soap made of olive/coconut/etc oils) and a lot of water to get the crud off my body, rinse, then hit with the a wipe or 2.

I have a big container of baby wipes that I've had for seemingly forever (pretty sure it was a Costco purchase, but I don't remember anymore.) It's pretty dried out at this point. I pull off a stack based on the length of the trip, put it in a ziplock bag and add enough water to get the "moistness" I want. Works for me, but I'm not that picky.
