Compressed coin towels, no expiry.

Post by Frnc »

Normal wet wipes have an expiry date of a year or two. These last forever. You can grab a few when you go away or whatever.
Box of 500 compressed towels. Made from recycled material (cotton I believe), biodegradable. Just add water to get a large, strong wet wipe.
Compressed size is about the size of two £1 coins on top of each other, ie very small. Expanded towel is about 8" x 10". Stronger than normal wet wipes. DO NOT FLUSH!!

I use these Camping/Hiking. Great initial space saver. If you have a wood fire easy to burn also, if not take a zip lock bag to carry them out.
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

Or you could bury, they're biodegradable. Fire is a neat idea, in fact they probably make good tinder.

Tried burning in their wrapper.... Nope

Tried burning compressed.....Nope

Tried burning partially teased open..... Nope,the amount of effort to catch was not worth the effort.

Mine don't have wrappers, more ecological. I wetted one yesterday or the day before, to get the dimensions. Today it was dry. So I lit it with a lighter, just at one point. Caught fire and spread quickly. The whole thing burned in about 10 seconds or so.
