A '''wet wipe''', also known as a '''wet nap''' or a '''moist towelette''', is a small moistened piece of [[paper]] or [[cloth]] that often comes folded and individually wrapped in its own wrapper for convenience, much like a packet of [[sugar]] or a [[condom]]. Such towelettes are for cleansing or disinfecting. 

Cleansing towelettes are generally moistened with [[scent]]ed water, while disinfecting towelettes are moistened with [[isopropyl alcohol|alcohol]]. They are often dispensed in restaurants, at service stations, along with [[airline meal]]s, in doctors' offices, and other similar places. They are often included as part of a standard sealed [[cutlery]] package.

Wet wipes can also be bought in stores for private usage. In South East Asia, wet wipes are often sold out of refrigerators to gain the refreshing effect.
