Hiking Pee Rag
Our cloth sanitary pads can also be used as a Pee Rag. This was a fairly new concept for us, but we’ve had hikers contact us because they are using our cloth sanitary pads as a hiking pee rag. A hiking pee rag is an alternative to toilet paper while out bush walking or hiking. Simply wipe for wee’s only, then clip onto your backpack for drying and for use later. Rinse every 1-2 days or when you can and thoroughly wash your pee rag when you get home. Using a mini wet bag could also be a good option to store dirty pee rags before washing or for toilet paper for number 2’s.
