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.

Drop a hairdryer in the bath, then tell me how well the water conducted.

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.

You only need to be wet where you touch the electricity. Usually the hands.
