Wet wipes may come in handy in summer, but they also bring potential health risks. Most of them will get moldy if stored for a long time and may cause skin diseases on users. But thanks to a new device that produces instant wet wipes, this hygiene problem can be solved once and for all.

You might wonder what this roulette-like gadget is for. And at first sight some even mistook it for a fancy pill dispenser.

But a closer look shows that these white, fuzzy tablets are actually compressed paper towels. And at the push of a button, one of them gets moistened and instantly expands into a wet wipe.

The device is designed to address a hygiene problem that afflicts most users of conventional wet wipes, which can get horribly moldy if stored over an extended period of time.

But the new invention stores the towels and the liquid separately, eliminating the chances of mold growth.

In addition, the users are now free to experiment with a wider selection of liquid ingredients, and come up with their own creative recipes.

As far as wet wipes go, things just got cleaner, safer and cooler.
