After a vigorous gym session before going back to school for the afternoon?
Apparently shower at school are too hideous!
I wondered if there was a teen version of baby wipes?

Aren’t there showers in the gym?

PLease don't use disposable wipes OP. A flannel that is rinsed through at home, given a good rub of soap them put in a zip loc bag will do the trick better. He just needs to run it under a hot tap to activate the soap and voila!

It is a small gym at school and it isn’t straightforward to get a shower which is apparently minging
Thanks

There is a great liquid product called Nilaqua which is a liquid wash that doesn’t need any water - you apply it, rub in then towel off. It is available on Amazon

That has made me wonder if alcohol hand gel would work?

primark do "man wipes" I recently got some for my teen, the same as any other wipes but in a manly black package

Soap and water is best as its actually washing off the offending stink rather thank just layering more stuff on. Not is it a massive waste of disposable plastic at the same time.

Flannel, soap, sink. Flannel then bunged in with equally wet gym kit and washed at home.

You can put baby wipes in a sealable "baggy" and no one will know what they are. The other option would be a flannel with soap and water on Iii in a similar bag. You are a thoughtful Mum.

Baby wipes are great I know soldiers who take them on exercise when they can't wash lol
