Apart from some pants being put on the wrong way, she was in a pretty good state when Mrs. Sunshine returned with the mother-in-law who had driven her home and wanted to say hi to the grandchild. I could give good answers to all the standard questions like "Did she eat her dinner?", "Did she poo any?" and such. However, on this particular day we were out of the wet hand tissues that we use to wipe her hands with after dinner and when Mrs. Sunshine asked about it the conversation went something like this:
Mrs. Sunshine: (happy that everything had gone seemingly event free) Oh, did you find the wet tissues to wipe her hands with, I noticed that the package on the table had run out?
Salaryman: (also in a good mood) No, but I just one of the asswipes instead!
Mrs. Sunshine: (shocked) You used the asswipes?
Salaryman: (still in a good mood and somewhat expected this reaction) Well yeah, it's the same thing with water based moist tissue paper after all.
Mrs. Sunshine: (still in shock) Yeah, I know, but they're meant to wipe her butt not her mouth!
Salaryman: (still upbeat) Don't worry, I don't think the ones I used for her hands had been used before, might be good to use them on the other end once in a while to mix things up!
Mrs. Sunshine: (relenting) Fine, as long as she was a good girl...
Grandmother Sunshine had listened in on the conversation in the background and also went through the five stages of grief pretty quickly, but was still shaking her head and went to check on toddler Sunshine to make sure that the asswipes had not given her any lasting scars.

This is so wierd, where I live we don't even have separate packages for tush and for hands. We have one package that we can use the way we want to. What's the difference between them - the smell? the roughness of the material?
The label.
It's enough, to Japanese.
I use the asswipes to wipe my delicate stuff cuz I figured if it was for a baby's ass.....now I'm wondering why your in law is mortified? I wipe my mouth with those....am I gonna get some baby ass cancer or something?? :(
that's just weird in my town we only have one type of wipes
That was bloody damn funny. Chrips, did she think you were reusing from the wrong end first?
Liz - I really don't think there's any difference at all, just different packages and opportunity to sell a little more, like RMilner says - for most Japanese, that's enough
Chris - You don't wanna get baby ass cancer, that's some nasty shit! Use the baby mouth wipes for your ass instead, much better!
Anon - If you live in Japan you just have to look a little more, there's plenty of them here!
Anon 2 - No, she knows that that would be a bit too much even for me. But for many Japanese, just the "ass" label kinda pollutes them in their mind a bit...
