    I get shower power (free shower everyday for a month) at PF/J for the amount of full I buy. I fuel at least once a day. So I shower almost everyday. Epic wipes sound like a wiping with a wet rag. I’ll take a shower. I guess if you don’t have the option they sound fine. 20 for $30 sounds like I’ll pass.

    Are you home daily? Epic wipes or baby wipes may be good for a quick fix but certainly not as a substitute for a shower....

    Out 10 /11 days..... baby wipes suck, it was what I was using to clean up after a sweaty summer tarp load. I research it, the military uses it now..... try it don't try it.... just putting options out there.

    I was a flatbedder, now I haul Glass....

    Have you tried Epic Wipes? You didn't like them? You should give feedback to new drivers on your thoughts.

    I love at least 15 minutes a day in a shower. Whether at home or on the road.
    Maybe I would enjoy the epic wipe more. what should I do :(

    No clue what you should do. First thing I do is take a HOT, LONG shower when I get back to the house. Nothing beats a long hot shower.

    Nothing like a hot bath, followed by a cool shower.That being said, on a hot day after chaining or tarping a load, those would be perfect. You could even put them in your fridge, quick way to cool off.

    Try the No Rinse soaps like they use to give sponge bath for elderly people and hospital patients. Mix a few capfuls into a water bottle then soak paper towels with it. Far more moisture than wet wipes.
