The warmer weather means never leaving home without a wipe or two
Groundskeeper deodorant wipes from Dollar Shave Club ($6 for 14).
It's not exactly new technology. Pre-moistened wipes have been around for a while—from makeup removers to antibacterial options to sanitize hands and surfaces. What is new is the variety of wipes that are now available to help men look and feel their best. Of course, the boom in options makes sense. They're easy to carry, easy to use, extremely quick and effective, not to mention TSA-approved for travel. The convenience does, however, come with some environmental costs so use them somewhat sparingly and be sure to check whether or not they're flushable (many are not). But they can really help you out of a sticky situation, especially during the hot summer months. So stock a few in your desk drawer at work, pack a few in your carry-on or gym bag and tuck a few into your glove compartment. Then sit back with the confidence of a man who knows he's prepared for anything.
We've loved and relied on Ursa Major's refreshing and individually-wrapped bamboo face wipes for years. They're durable enough not to tear on your 5 o'clock shadow and are infused with the brand's cleansing and hydrating 4-in-1 Face Tonic. So they not only clean your skin, they hydrate and soothe with a subtle exfoliation to reveal smoother, fresher looking skin when you're done.

Should these individually-wrapped deodorant wipes replace your usual morning stick or spray? Probably not. But do they come in handy after the gym or after a particularly warm afternoon when you could be smelling a little fresher? You better believe it.

Look, hotels and offices aren't typically known for their quality toilet paper. These generously sized wipes (25% larger than the average flushable wet wipes) are ultra soft and infused with vitamin E and aloe to soothe sensitive skin. Plus, they're unscented so you can clean up and refresh your junk before a date without smelling all flowery down there.

A Valet. editor, who really takes his sneakers seriously, refuses to travel without these handy wipes from Jason Markk. What's so good about them? They've got a smooth side to clean up spills and a textured side to tackle tougher stains, no matter where you are.
