I use:
The 0.5 liter collapsible bottle was great for me, the right amount of water for cleanup and hand washing. I personally wouldn't be comfortable using a drinking bottle for bidet-ing, but it's obviously been done.
I'll offer a different perspective: one from your BF's. I recently took my GF out on her first hike, and like you, she was nervous. I made sure she had wipes, and she took a little bottle of body spray with her. I also went through the bathroom procedures with her: If #1, just get away from camp by about 50 paces (we weren't near a water supply). If #2, cathole it far away from camp (or put it in a doggie bag), wet wipe and then TP to dry and put all of that in the bag.
You may have to go pee in the night. So before you go to bed, make sure you put your headlamp and your poo bag (as I call it, but it's just a bag with your shovel, wipes, TP, and doggie bag) somewhere easy to find when you wake up at two AM. Make sure you flip your bag closed when you leave so it retains a bit of warmth. Flip the rain fly all the way open and make sure it stays there as you get out, or it will smack you in the butt, and with the condensation on the rain fly, you'll get a wet butt.
Everyone has to go poop. Don't be embarrassed asking for how to do it properly. If you're self conscious about carrying used wipes in a clear ziplock bag, get a few black doggie bags too, and then put the used wipes / TP in the doggie bag, and the doggie bag in the ziplock.
She told me the wipes were a huge boost to helping her feel clean. You can use them for going to the (non-existent) bathroom, under the armpits, in the groin, on the hands, etc., to help you feel clean.
If you chafe, chafing cream is your friend. Your BF should be packing a small bottle anyway; don't be afraid to ask for it and use it as needed.
Keep a clean set of sleeping clothes, and only use those clothes to sleep in. It's nice to get into something clean for bed. Everything else is going to get dirty.
Hair - she kept it in a hat with a ponytail. She had a very small brush that she used briefly in the morning (shoulder-length hair).
Overall, remember that everyone kinda stinks and is dirty during a hike, especially one of any significant duration. No one thinks anything of it.
You've already got the most important thing - a good attitude and a willingness to learn. Go have fun!
I keep Combat Wipesat my desk, and they've been great. However, I have a short commute; they may not satisfy your need.
