    You could use a portable wipes container and fill it with face washers or some cloth wipes to just wet with warm water when out.

    I found the Huggies Pure wipes were a bit gentler than the normal Huggies wipes - other than that when DS had really bad nappy rash I would get a zip lock bag and place nappy liners in it (kind of like chux wipes) and then wet them whilst out an about. I always have a bottle of water with me so if there isn't a tap to use warm water then I have my bottled water to use

    When DS1 gets really sore I just cut up something from the rag bag into little squares, wet them and put them in a zip-lock bag. Easy!

    You could use a water bottle and chux style cloths and put some water on the wipe, use then throw out. I know you can get big rolls of them and I think they are cheap enough to be disposable

    My SIL never used wipes. She just used a washer.

    There are also "recipes" on the interwebz for homemade wipes.

    I use a Tupperware sandwich keeper - five or so wipes fit in there nicely, folded in quarters. It becomes part of our getting ready to leave routine - nappies, tote bag, wipes. Pre-wet and folded, into the container.

    Likewise when we get home - tote bag out, empty nappies into bucket, empty unused wipes into bucket, leave container to air dry. No mould, no dramas. Too easy.

    ETA - just in case it wasn't clear - I only wet them with water. I have some Itty Bitty and some Motherease (maybe) cloth wipes.
