You can carry a small amount as needed for any trip and just apply it with a cloth or paper towel. There are ladies at my job who would let me know if it didn't work, and I've not had any complaints in years.

I thought of that use because I have for a long time applied rubbing alcohol after a shower to further cleanse "down there" to prevent saddle sores, so there's another reason to bring it along.
