Air travel in the United States is moving at a pace the industry has never seen before. According to the Transportation Security Administration, the agency’s daily screening average reached approximately 2.48 million passengers in 2025, and eight of the ten busiest travel days in TSA’s history occurred in 2025 alone. For the December 19, 2025 through January 4, 2026 holiday travel window, TSA projected screening 44.3 million travelers at airport checkpoints nationwide.
Those volumes translate into a simple reality for everyday flyers: more hands touching more shared surfaces, from tray tables and armrests to rental car steering wheels and hotel remote controls. Market research firm Grand View Research has reported sustained growth in the global wet wipes market through the mid 2020s, with personal care and travel categories among the fastest expanding segments. Convenience, portability, and single use hygiene are consistently cited as the top purchase drivers.
Sitting squarely inside that trend is Sani-Dis-Go LLC, a travel wipe brand founded in 2024 by Diana Karr, a full time classroom teacher. The origin story is straightforward. While traveling during summer break, Karr packed several separate wipe containers, one for hands, one for surfaces, one for eyeglasses, one for the restroom, into her carry on. A disinfectant wipe container leaked. According to Karr, the chemical content of one wipe burned a hole straight through the plastic bag she had used to contain the spill.
Her response was to design what she could not find on store shelves: a single pocket sized resealable pouch containing sixteen individually wrapped wipes, each one sealed separately to prevent leaks, and each one purpose built for a different task. The lineup includes antiseptic wipes, alcohol wipes, lens cleaning wipes, restroom wipes, and makeup remover wipes. Because each wipe is wrapped on its own, the pack cannot leak the way a bulk container can.
Karr says the target customer emerged naturally from her own life: women who travel often or are constantly on the go, including working professionals, parents, frequent flyers, and members of travel clubs. Customer reviews posted to the company website describe the product being used on airplanes, in cars, at the beach, and as group gifts for travel club members.
The broader economic context helps explain why stories like Karr’s are drawing attention. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Office of Advocacy, there are now more than 36 million small businesses in the United States, and from March 2023 to March 2024 small businesses created approximately nine out of every ten net new jobs in the American economy. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation has identified consumer awareness as one of the leading barriers facing independent founders, alongside access to capital and distribution.
For Karr, the business remains a mission alongside her teaching career. She has said publicly that she prices her product to stay within reach of budget conscious shoppers, including fellow teachers, and that she personally replaces any pack that arrives dried out at no charge to the customer. The company operates from its website at travelwipesonthego.com, where the packs are also available in custom configurations.
As checkpoint lines grow longer and travelers keep reaching for the nearest wipe, the quiet innovations of founders like Diana Karr may be the ones quietly reshaping what it means to travel clean.
