A keen hiker has opened up about using a reusable pee cloth instead of loo roll when she’s out and about, describing it as her “favourite piece of hiking gear”.

Although she’s had to contend with some people dismissing the item as “disgusting and unsanitary”, Aaren Prody is among a growing number of hikers who see it as an essential bit of kit.

And the unusual addition to her bag is great for the environment as it drastically reduces the amount of waste she leaves behind on her adventures.

In a recent TikTok video, Aaren can be seen holding her Kula Cloth, which is patterned on one side and plain black on the other.

Showing just how unbothered she is by those who turn their nose up at her cloth, Aaren showed it off with pride, writing: “When people say my reusable pee cloth for hiking is disgusting and unsanitary”.

Kula Cloth website states their cloths are “the ultimate re-usable and hygienic antimicrobial pee-cloth, for those who squat when they do a wild wee”.

Odour proof, this eco-friendly cloth is also wide enough to hold without getting your hand wet, with a design that cleverly protects your privacy after toilet breaks.
