I like non scented ones, I usually just take what ever my wife buys for the baby.
Necessities I buy the equate Walmart brand for number2 and Wet Nap antibacterial with aloe for personal hygiene citrus scent. They say for hands but after research they are the same as all others. They are antibacterial as well
A couple of years ago Starcar, a moderator, posted her recipe for homemade "trucker wipes". I have been making this for both of my sons who have been driving for a few years, and they seem to appreciate them. So, here's her recipe:
Use heavy, white paper towels (I buy the "rags" from the cleaning area at Sams -- 350/box for about $15) the blue rags at the auto store DO NOT WORK, as they tend to bleed blue color, and they are not as strong as the "rags".
Mix about 2 Tablespoons baby wash (unscented or the lavender is nice and refreshing) with about 1/2 gallon warm water. This makes the clothes usable without needing to rinse.
I fold the paper towels in 1/2 and place them in a plastic shoe box with a lid (from Dollar Tree) layering the fold left and right for easier removal. I place about 70 dry towels in the box and cover with the water, letting the towels soak up the mixture.
If the box runs out of moisture prior to using all the towels, just add a little more warm water to re-hydrate as needed.
These wipes are less expensive than buying baby wipes and are larger for adult use.
Hope this helps!

Here is the post that Jacqueline R. was referring to:
SWEET Thanks for all the info y'all. I think making them is the way to go. Thanks again
I've only been driving a little over a year and, while I brought some initially, I have never needed them.
Most I've had to go without a shower is two days and even then I probably could've gotten one at a fuel stop.
Admittedly I am Van Truckload and mostly drop/hook.
Wipes are also good for "mini-washing" you're eating utensils and other things that could use a quick wipe off.

Hi all I was curious what type, smell baby wipes do y'all recommend for those no shower days on the road? Do they make a brand specific y'all like more than others?
