They have a bit of soap already in them. Just take one or two to the wash station and start washing. After you're all lathered up, rinse the soap out of the cloth, sponge off and throw it away (it will be filthy ) Smells baby fresh! Find them in the Baby section of WalMart or Target.
For the port-a-pot's, I always carry a zip-lock with a few dozen of those Cottonelle Flushable Moist Wipes in my fanny-pack or backpack. Way better than tee-pee! They are also great for your hands.
DEF GOLD BOND. We bought a portable shower for 29 dollars at the evil empire Sams Club and it worked great! I would fill up the bag let it sit on my car and get nice and hot and then shower away...I felt great I took about two to three showers aday, I couldnt handle the dust and heat. VERY MUCH WORTH it. Nice an private and you can clean clean clean those neather reagions...that combined with Gold bond (which I still use thank you) left me with no SWAMP ASS or schwetty balls.
As my Inebriated buddy walks out of the Porto, he yells out, "Dude...I love this place...bonnaroo thinks about everything...they even put beer holders next to the toilet!"
Had to break it to him that that was the urnal. Good times good times!
oh yeah and Clorox wipes in a baggie for the portopotties and baby wipes gets you in and out quicker and cleaner....just dont mix the too...I did by accident after too much alchohol, and it was not too fun

if you have a "dollar tree (everythings a dollar)" store in your area hit it up before bonnaroo. seriously. i found the jackpot last year....
$1 canisters of antibacterial wipes (60 count). same as baby wipes yet antibacterial and w whole lot cheaper. i would just carry a can around with me to clean my hands, potty door handles, you can use them as TP too. i would take a "wipes bath" with them in the morning and then use the troughs in the evening to get clean after all that sweat.
also they carry glowsticks at the dollar tree. and flashlights and batteries and ponchos and tools (hammer?). you won't spend much so its ok if you lose the stuff.

I rinsed out my mouth with mouth wash and that was about it. The shower right after felt great. It was like taking a whole layer of skin off
But yeah with layers of dust, sun block, dust, dirt, sunblock, etc.... over 3 and a half days it gets kind of thick. Never bothered me though. I will probably do the same thing this year.

Baby wipes are good, as everyone has already mentioned...but my main issue is the portapotties... I advise bringing some spare TP with you in case the urge for a bonnapoo strikes you while you're out. The potties run out of TP, and bonnapoo with no TP is not fun. Also, I disenfect the toilet seat with clorox wipes too, b/c lots of people pee on the seat. Afterwards, a little hand sanitizer, and you're good to go!

We brought 4 gallons of water for 2 of us and showered by the car in sports bras and quick dry shorts every morning. Washed our hair too. It really revitalized me every morning. We only had to trudge to the trough once to refill. As for the portapotties we brought clorox wipes with us so we could wipe them down before we used them...made all the difference. And we never went anywhere without spare TP...you never know what you're going to walk into!!
So, last year was my first year at bonnaroo and all the dirtiness was well worth it! Baby wipes and face wipes are a must. Every morning I woke up in the tent and wiped down with baby wipes and every night before heading back for late night I wiped down again. After getting back from late night I usually just crashed. Throughout the day I made quite a few trips to the mushroom fountain (That thing is a lifesaver) to cool down and freshen up. Really, don't worry about smelling bad, everyone does. The water troughs are good, but I really only used them one time. If my feet were really dirty I used a gallon of water that we brought and rinsed off. But, really, if I didn't shower or rinse off at all while I was there it wouldn't have mattered because one of the best parts for me about bonnaroo was just being myself, in all my dirtiness, no one judging me, and having the best time I've ever had in my entire life!

I just remember the look on the poor bastard's face that sat next to me on the plane home...220 pounds of me, just caked in filth...with a case of the Bonna-floo to boot...I'd cough and a cloud would arise.
In '06 we got in a car accident in Kentucky and there were three of us. We were all pretty big guys and I felt so bad for the tow truck driver. We all had to squeeze into the front of it with him. So 3 190-230 pound guys and this little tow truck dude and all three of us were nasty from 'roo. I bet he couldnt wait to get to the mechanic.
We ended up being stranded in Kentucky for 3 days without a car and had to stay in a hotel and after the 3 of us took a shower that tub was not the same again.
haha we stayed dirty all weekend too. monday morning on the way home we stopped at an IHOP to eat. the hostess actually asked us if we were ok. he said we looked like hell haha
but when we were leaving the IHOP we got in a car accident and everyone involved was honestly concerned about our hygiene as well.

f*ck hygeine.
all i did was brush my teeth. my feet got really dirty from the dust so i just put socks on saturday morning. the ride home i was picking ants off of me but i didnt mind because 'roo was awesome and i didnt care. i also thought my acne would be worse because i didnt use any acne meds but it actually got better, prlly from the heat and lack of stress. i say dont worry about it, do the minimum you need to do; if you're prone to cavities than brush your teeth, if your feet get warts than make sure you wash them, etc... otherwise don't worry about it
Nothing better than showing up at the Cracker Barrel for the meal before the ride home and finding the place completely jam-packed with dirty Rooers! The bathroom was PACKED! ;D

oh - we headed down the road some - about an hour or so and still ended up eating with a bunch of dirty hippies - LOL
first stop for me was the bathroom and hot running water with lots of soap for my hands -

I brought baby wipes for any body part that needed daily washing, and a bottle of witch hazel for my face. In the a.m. and before I went to bed for the night(or whatever), I washed my face again. I came back from the 'Roo with the best skin ever!
Toothpaste and a 5 gallon jug of water are a must.
Other than that, if you wear a bandanna and braid any long hair, you'll be fine.
Be prepared to take a few showers when you get home. If it is dusty, it takes a long time to get the ground-in dust out of your scalp and all those "cracks and crevices"...

I completely agree with the gallon jugs of water. We took old 3 liter coke bottles and filled them with water before roo, and we used those for teeth brushing and semi hair washing throughout the weekend. It was a lifesaver. Baby wipes saved us though, they don't get you completely clean, but they give you a cleanier feeling than before you used them.

Our flight out of Nashville got delayed on Monday from like 1pm to around 5:30pm, causing us to sit in the airport bar and powerhouse beers for 4 straight hours. So on top of the overall filth level, by the time we got on the plane we were both crocked......I have a feeling there were alot of unfortunate travelers unwittingly placed next to people coming back from Roo who got a rude shock to the system.....

i think i took a 40 minute shower last year when i got home...i just wanted to stay in the water...i got home and i told my mom that if she wanted to talk, she'd have to wait...
the convo went something like this
*walks in and sees mom sitting on couch*
"hi mom, bye mom, i gotta a date with the shower...if you wanna talk, see me in an hour"

Haha that reminds me of last time I was at Nashville airport.
The security guy searching us (we got picked for extra security - again) saw my Roo tee-shirt and said it the weirdest thing he has ever seen the year when it rained at Roo, to see all the mud covered people coming through the airport on the Monday. But he said they all looked so happy that it must have been a good time

We brought a few gallon jugs of water and had plastic pans to wash our faces,brush our teeth,etc.(got them from a dollar store). Then dumped the pans away from others. Every morning we bathed in our bathing suits and washed our hair with the jugs and it was totally refreshing...also saved tons of time not waiting in the mud with others to get to the faucets. But baby wipes were the best for a quick wipe down and especially for our nasty feet before sleeping! hope this helps
