Thanks for the suggestion! This is a possibility, but usually requires moisture to be present in order to get water. We did find that when we dug a hole deep enough for the outhouse, there is some moisture in the ground. So we may be able to get water from that!

Carefully examining what they are made of would be a good start & how destructive is the manufacturing process? Do they contain chemicals you don’t want on your skin /delicate parts? Can you choose a better product? Next, possible solutions to disposal…
Is there an innovative way you can reuse the material? After they dry out, perhaps you could shake the dirt and dust from them. Maybe collect the used ones for several weeks and create padding or insulation for something. Fill up cracks or holes? I’m so interested in and have so much respect for your project! So important! Looking forward to reading more.

Sort of like a hothouse when starting seedlings. It might not produce much water although, every little bit could help to wash or flush. Just a thought.
