So far we've just been using the small soft travel packs you can buy, but I want something refillable. I don't want to have to buy a new pack every time we run out when we have tons of wipes in huge packs here. I know Huggies sells a plastic travel pack, that I'm thinking I could prob refill, but what does everyone else use? I'm assuming there are lots of options that I just don't know about.
TIA!

I used either the small plastic case that you mentioned, or sometimes I just put some in a gallon size ziploc type bag and carried that.

I use a ziploc bag. I hate the hard cases b/c they are so bulky. The ziploc keeps the bags moist and it takes up very little room. I usually keep 6 in there and refill when it runs low. Simple, cost effective and it works. We don't really go through a lot of wipes because I only do diaper changes if I have to- and thankfully ds tends to be considerate enough to save his pooping for home now that he isn't a little newborn.

I use the costco ones with the soft sides and hard opening/top. When I get 3/4 through with the pack, it goes in my purse/diaper bag, and I open a new one for home.

I forgot about those. I usually have a container of them in my car, just not in my diaper bag.

I used ziplock bags and still do in my purse. I had several hard cases and I would always always leave them behind in the changing area. But I've never lost a ziplock bag...go figure.
I also bought a diaper case - it fits a few diapers and the ziplock baggy of wipes...someone here can probably link to something more recent. My DS has been potty trained for 2 years.

I use ziplocks as well as per the advice on this board a while back. Big space saver and the 'top' one always stays fresh unlike my experience with both the soft and hard packs.

Yup, ziplocks. Got tired of finding dried out wipes in the plastic travel cases.

I just use the pack of costco wipes- it may be heavy at times, but it does lighten up thru use!
