    At home I have a spray bottle with a bit of sweet mandarin and tea tree oil in water, but when it's cold I have a small bowl and one of those small stainless steel thermoses, like you get at vietnamese/chinese restaurants, with the pop-top button. I fill that up with hot water once a day usually and just pour a splash onto a wipe and wring out the excess into the bowl (which I use to water a pot-plant later!). It's nice to have warm water for cleaning up little bottoms here in winter! If I'm going out, I have a mini thermos for the same thing, or a small atomiser that I picked up from an asian grocery store. I dont have a nappy bag, just a folding change mat and a couple of wetbags that are thrown into whatever bag I'm taking with me! One for clean stuff, ond the other for dirty.

    Mine are wet and put in a zip lock bag, I also take a few dry ones. Then the ziplock bag, the dry ones, a microfleece liner and some bum balm go in this cute little bag that someone made me

    At home I just have a drink bottle (like with a pop up top) filled with water, or cold chamomile tea. For going out, I have a little wet bag with a zipper, and I put a few in there already wet. Works well for me!

    At home i have a combination of chamomile tea and calendula flower tea - boil it up and let it cool then add some extra water. i put this mixture in an old yoghurt pot that is in the room near the change table - then i dunk the wipes in when i need them.

    when going out i wet some and then put in a zip lock bag...

    I keep about half a dozen in a container with a lid and some water. they are just the right level of dampness and the container is empty when the girls go to bed and the dishes get done so it doesn't go mouldy. When we are out I fold a dry one up in each nappy and use the foamy wipes wash from Bubblebubs. I have a couple spare in the nappy bag too for those Horrid changes.
