i'm having trouble finding these wipes that everyone is talking about for cleaning up in the morning if you can't shower - can anyone give me a brand name or something? the only thing i can find that i think is close is stuff that seems to be for removing makeup and seems to be targeted at only cleaning your face. thanks in advance.

They're marketed as 'moist towlettes', and are usually found with the baby wipes.
'Wet Ones' is the brand I've bought before. They make heaps of different sizes and scents.

I've found that that adult wipes tend to be more expensive than the baby wipes. So I just went with the baby wipes. Here it was like less than $3 CDN for 80 of then (like $2 USD)

I tried the baby wipes once, too. May have just been the brand I tried, but I found them frustratingly small.
If you're really enthused, you can make your own. Plenty of baby wipes 'recipes' available on the internet. A friend of ours who just had a little sproglet a few months ago has been doing this and saving a heap of money.
Old Spice's Cool Contacts wipes have a more manly scent than baby wipes but they're a bit more spendy.

If you can, get the Costco brand (Kirkland). They are unscented and cheaper than Huggies or Pampers. And yes, you'll find them with the diapers :-)
In a regular grocery store I'd suggest get a bag of unscented Huggies. Sometimes you also get a small plastic carrying case that is perfect for bringing a few days worth of wipes with you. I always carry one of those in my backpack.
