Correct. Its far less able to pass through clothes and *dry* skin.


Wet jeans conduct almost as well as water does.


So not very well then?

Water tends to need impurities in it to be a good conductor.

So it's irrelevant
whether you're wearing them or not when you splash water on yourself in
a bathroom or kitchen.


The elevated risk comes from being wet all over. If you are, get a grown
up to teach you how to do the washing up.
