You don't need it. Until you do.
If you squat to pee outside, you've probably made peace with drip-drying or toilet paper. Let's talk about why you don't have to.
Drip-drying is not
a personality trait.
You have survived many things. You have drip-dried in the woods, you have done the slightly-damp-underwear shuffle back to the trail, and you have told yourself it was fine. It was not fine. You just didn't know there was another option.
"Drip-drying is totally fine."
You've been coping. There's a difference between fine and actually good. You have never once finished a hike and thought "I'm really glad I drip-dried."
Here's the thing: if you drip-dry, your underwear becomes the pee cloth. 🩲
"I just pack out my toilet paper."
Leave No Trace principles say pack it out. Almost nobody actually does.
"A bandana works fine."
A bandana was never purpose-built for this. It doesn't snap closed between uses to keep the used side contained, and it doesn't clip to your pack so it's always right there.
The weird thing was always the toilet paper.
There's another option: a pee cloth.
A pee cloth is a reusable cloth you use instead of toilet paper (or drip-drying) when you pee outside. Pat dry, snap it closed, clip it to your pack, and wash it when you get home.
It's lighter than you'd think, kinder to the places you love, and once you try one, you'll wonder why you didn't sooner.

A former park ranger invented this.
Anastasia Allison, founder of Kula Cloth and former park ranger, explains exactly how the Kula Cloth works.
Simple. Reusable.
Kind of genius.
Wipe with the black sideThe black dimpled side is the absorbent side. That's the side that touches you.
Hold the printed sideThe art side is waterproof, so your hand stays dry.
Fold, snap, and goSnap it shut with the art facing out and clip it to your pack. Wash it when you get home.
The art is real gear.
Snapped open and hanging to air-dry between uses.
Anywhere you've ever thought,
"ugh, where's the toilet paper?"

My husband laughed at me for spending money on a rag. I want to shout from the mountains with glee. Get one, get five. You won't regret it.REI reviewer
I have been backpacking for 30+ years and rarely get this impressed with new gear. This is a game-changer and an underrated piece of gear.REI reviewer
It's not an exaggeration to say that this is one of the most important pieces of gear to come along in decades.Diana, avid hiker
I finally stopped dreading the part of the hike where I had to find a bush. It just isn't a thing I think about anymore.REI reviewer
Love how I'm NEVER going to be the one in the woods leaving tissues.EJ, verified buyer
I used to really hate wild wees. When I got my first Kula Cloth it completely changed things. No more damp underwear. Complete game changer.Rebecca, Vampire Outdoors UK
