On a historical note, one of our members has suggested that perhaps the classic painting "The Scream" was not, in fact, a representation of stress, but rather a depiction of a gentleman who has soiled his hands fishing (note the dock) and is using an early form of moist towelette to clean himself. Impossible? Decide for yourself.

The Scream

Why Moist Towelettes?

M any individuals have asked me in past years, "Why moist towelette collecting?", "Why not stamp collecting, or numismatics?"

"To be different, perhaps?" Well, I must admit that at first that was part of the appeal, but I have since become aware of the strong movement of Moist Towelette enthusiasts, and accepted that I am not alone in my fascination / hobby.

"For the money?" It would be a lie to say that the future worth of a Moist Towelette compared to its present cost was not extremely inviting. Though the investment is obviously worthwhile, I don't believe this to be my major reason for collecting.

I must say my true motivation are the towels themselves. Each Moist Towelette is like a work of art. Though working in defined parameters, the designers manage to make each towelette applicable to their customer. A Moist Towelette collection can show restaurants, casinos (and a surprising variety of other locations) from across a continent (or nay, the entire world) in a single, small space.

Despite whatever differences we have as humans, we can all satisfy the natural urge to clean ourselves with lemon-scented, moist-filled napkins.

Anatomy of a Towelette

A modern dictionary defines a towelette as such:

tow·el·ette (tou´e-lèt) noun
A small, usually moistened piece of paper or cloth used for cleansing.


Enthusiasts, however, know that there is a great deal more involved. Let's examine the following to get an idea of the structure and terms associated with Moist Towelettes.
