Kula Cloth

Who is it for?

The founders of the brand say: “Kula Cloth is for anyone who squats to pee! However, some people also use it as a handkerchief or small cloth.”

This means it’s especially appreciated by female hikers and nature lovers. That said, it can also be useful for men—for instance, to dry off after using the Culo Clean portable bidet.

Once you get used to Kula, you’ll never want to part with it. It’s the kind of gear you’ll wish you had not only in the wilderness but also in everyday life, especially when faced with an empty toilet paper roll in public restrooms.

We added this product to our collection at the suggestion of our ambassador Pavlína Adam, who has been using Kula Cloth since her PCT thru-hike in 2021 and absolutely swears by it. Kula Cloth also makes it easier to follow Leave No Trace principles.

How to clean and wash it

For single-day trips, there’s no need to wash the cloth between uses. The most gentle option is to rinse it with soap in a sink when you return home, hang it up, and let it dry. If you prefer not to wash it by hand, simply toss it in the washing machine when you get home (we recommend keeping the snap closed to avoid snagging in the machine).

For longer trips, wash it as needed with a few drops of biodegradable soap and hang it to dry. If your Kula Cloth gets wet in the rain, you can still use it as a “wet wipe”. Kula Cloth dries very quickly — just hang it on a tree or trekking pole in the field. UV rays from the sun also help "sterilize" it during drying.

Kula Cloth can be cleaned in a regular washer/dryer, but for maximum product longevity, hand washing is recommended. Avoid using fabric softeners and bleach.
