|
Sad that I don't know this after so many years, but where the heck can I find some wetnaps/hand wipes?
Our baby's coming soon, and considering the general lack of hygiene here I really want to have packs handy so that I can get everyone to clean up before they put their hands on my girl.
Would have posted this on that awesome baby thread, but it seems to be AWOL. |

Well, go to any convenience store and buy wet napkins. Name is usually mool-tissue, (mool=water) written using korean alphabet. It can also be found on bus terminals or train stations since they are used for traveling.
These are not the ones for baby hyegine (or women) but for us adults. |

Thank you sir.
I've seen them before, but was a bit hesitant. Sadly, I'm always hesitant about non-Western cleaning products. Should have specified that in the OP. |

I think I saw Dettol wipes here & there (antibacterial). Its from GlaxoSmithKlein. They make nice santizing sprays - nice to keep in the toilet and at work to use at the shared bathrom. |

Well, now I just feel bad for telling you and the other guy to shut up on the other thread.
Thanks again! |

No problem  Having a heated argument about a topic X doesn't affect my responses for topic Y. Sometimes drives my girlfriends crazy. |

| Carrefour used to make some really nice wet tissues, cheap and a nice smell. But alas. No more. Lottemart's Wiseselect brand is a distant second. I always keep a packet in my backpack. When you use the subway eventually you're going to get "something" on your hand you want off quickly. |

They sell kleenex wetwipes.
We use a brand called Dr. Atomild that comes in a green packet. It is the thickest and softest baby wipes out there. We love it and it's non-scented, so that's an added bonus, too! It's pricey if you buy it from the supermarket, and we generally buy ours on the internet (10/12 packs of 70 for 20k) |

I bought a package of these in Seoul at a 7-11, just because it said
NO, SARS on it.
I could just hear a triumphant and vindictive voice, jeering "No, SARS- not today, SARS." |
