1.
wet wipe; wet tissue
A pre-moistened disposable cloth used for cleaning hands, surfaces, or skin. Extremely common in Japanese daily life — found in restaurants, convenience stores, and carried in bags.
A loanword from English (wet + tissue). Japan has a strong culture of cleanliness, and wet wipes are ubiquitous — many restaurants provide おしぼり (hot towels), and people commonly carry portable packs of ウェットティッシュ.
