I'm with Anne
Vaseline and cotton ball is just so easy and cheap to make.
You can use a whole one but most times a small bit will be enough.
If you want them to last longer, wrap them up with some alluminium foil, poke a hole in it pull a bit out and light that.
BTW, do not use synthetic cotton , same reason why it is better not to use synthetic lint.
(I usually have some salt wrapped in foil and often pancetta or raw ham and hard cheese also wrapped in that , so most of the times I would have some foil with me...)
