Do these work well for cleaning while camping? Looking to be able to sponge bathe the kids before bed.

I take mine on wildfire assignments, and use to dry after showing...because they absorb SO much water quickly, and then they DRY back out quickly....I haven't used them to WASH with, but I don't see why not, as they do absorb water...and they DO dry out quickly !!!!!

I would say so, these are essentially the same material as the sham wow so you should be good to go.

So Sorry I missed this..yes!! Use these on top underneath, where ever you need to. I am with my Nana now and I am again very glad to have found these. They are a great size and still have not shrunk up but we don't have a reason to wash them in more than warm water.

They work great for the purpose you described. Just make sure they are clean to avoid and abrasion. Also, wash clothes separately. DW

Should work well. Clean up on these things takes some patience unless you have a small tub. We don't and the kitchen sink method takes a while to clean up.

They would work great! We have several pairs and carry one camping with us...it cuts practically anything!

Yes, they are good for cleaning just about anything. Being very absorbent they work best of drying dishes. Those microfiber ones cannot compare to these. The microfiber ones never measure up - poor absorption and the material does not hold onto dirt - these will.

Yes they are great because you can remove them with plastic diapers on so they stay dry and/or change the pad. You have the benefit of the diapers for any big "accidents"and the changing or removal of pads keep the skin dry. They also wick away moisture to prevent skin breakdown and if arranged well to prevent leaks help keep bed dry overnight if large amount of urine flows out.

Yes. They adhered and wash just fine when put on towels. I put them on my sons beach towel for camp and it worked great.

I would say no. They are pretty stiff and too firm.more rubbery than spongey. Not absorbent at all. I don't use mine.

They are very thick and the cleaning "soap" is very liberal. I use two at a time when I need them, and then pat myself dry with a dry washcloth. I wouldn't use them on your face though. I am very happy with them. I first learned about them when I was in the hospital. I would only take one pack as there eight in the pack. Have fun on your trip!

They work great on carpet for me. If I am traveling light, I will put a bath towel on the floor. However, I did buy one of their travel towels, ,which I also like to use with my YogaPaws too. LOVE THEM!!!

I use them for my toddler, she's not 22lbs yet but she's very active. They are thinner then other cloth diaper prefolds but I just double them up and they work really well with a diaper cover, even the pocket ones if you run out of soakers. Over night I will wrap one of my soakers in a prefold for extra absorbency then tuck it inside the pocket. They will shrink a little in the dryer, I learned that one myself... I don't mind it and it's not impacted their function at all... I found out from my Great Aunt that normally you line dry these though, so keep that in mind. If your wanting something that is more easy to use try looking for a 2 in 1 Diaper Cover with Microfiber Soaker Inserts. I purchased a bunch of those for our child and they are time savers and work very well. The prefolds can even be used into the Pockets of the Diaper Covers if you loose your inserts.

Yes, like sponges, but also no. First, they are thin(isn) and flexible, so they are like a dish cloth. Second, once wet, you can squeeze almost all of the water out and use them to dry things down. Third, because they are thin, they dry quicker and if you take good care to let them dry (like hanging them up with a clothes pin or something) they won't get "nasty". But if they do get sour, wet down and microwave, etc... and they are good as new. I will generally use the same cloth for MONTHS.

Yep! My wife and I took these with us during our recent backpacking trip. It's super handy. You use it like a towel and it gets really heavy with moisture, then you twist all the water out and finish towelling off.

I believe so. I have never used them for that. But I have used them for up to 4 dirty baby diapers and also for dirty clothes, baby and toddler sized. And for wet clothes, kids/ teen sized bathing suits. Hope that helps! :)

Better than sponges, they never smell and I put them in the dishwasher to sterilize every night. They clean up faster because of their size.

I think they'd be great, although keep in mind that it might be a bit of an undertaking (I hate cleaning vents, personally). If they're especially greasy or grimy, you might try them with an all-purpose cleaner, or some Dr. Bronners or dish soap.
