<DIV><A href="mailto:jolson@olc.edu">jolson@olc.edu</A> writes: All kidding aside, - , alcohol wipes kept rashes and skin irritations of any sort from developing. It wasn't til I was 40 that I had to deal with this. Now it's a fact of life that I "wipe down" before putting on the long underwear and diving under the quilt for a dry, safe nights sleep... It's part of being able to hike week after week, a maintenance item.... Gotta keep the nether regions clean and dry... </DIV>

<DIV>Switchback replies: I have used alcohol wipes for years along with TP. I also carry hand sanitizer gel. Out on the trail I try to be not only clean, but beyond that. I think this protects you from getting sick and other irritations too. For me going to bed clean at night makes for a more restful sleep. I carry my toilet articles in a quart ZipLock bag. Works great. </DIV>
