So my husband is in the military and spends weeks in the field at times. Generally, he brings baby wipes in his bag. But this is honestly such a great alternative when you can't have baby wipes with you. The packages are no larger than a mint. It only takes a VERY small amount of water and then it begins to expand incredibly quickly. It is almost exactly the same size as a baby wipe and it's just as moist. Just toss a couple of these in your pocket and you have some great backup baby wipes. Honestly, I may throw some in my purse just incase I ever run into a situation where I may need a wipe. Really cute little product!
