I get the need for gentleness and cleanliness in that very tender area so I would suggest making your own baby wipes using simple hot water, baby oil, and baby wash. Here's a video that explains both the "how-to" and ingredients. (If you feel the paper towels would be too rough-ish, then I would suggest cleaning, boiling and drying soft cloths cut up in squares to put in the mixture.)

As far as the catheters go, do they hold up to sterilizing in hot boiling water?
be careful making too many wipes at once. a few years ago, there was a recall on baby wipes because of a mold and bacterial problem. they were trying to not have any alcohol or preservative in them. i get the reasoning for not wanting the alcohol in there as it can be very irritating to the skin, but it was there to kill germs in the wipes themselves. there was a mold and bacterial problem and people were getting sick. so now, they have a safe and gentle preservative. i try to avoid unnecessary chemicals and preservatives. read that again.... UNNECESSARY. there are times when they are needed, and wipes are one of them.
we also use wipes in our house after bowel movements, and used wet washclothes when we were extra poor. i didn't like not being clean, and it bothered the kids as well, so that's what we did. years later, at a dr visit, that came up. i told the dr what our system was, and she was very happy with it. she said she wished more people did this as it is just a basic hygiene thing that drs wished their patients would do. nothing with antibacterial anything, but just basic water or soap and water, or baby wipes. we just throw them in the garbage, and don't flush them.
kathleen, if it was me, i would just use a warm, lightly soapy wet washcloth and then wipe with plain water. whoever said to be careful using antibacterial wipes not intended for human skin was correct. not really a good idea as the chemical could cause health problems, and using and antibacterial in that area can cause OTHER problems, like a yeast infection.
