gets wet
Absorbs some moisture
Gets wet describes becoming saturated or covered with water or other liquid.
The phrase often implies an unintended or unavoidable soaking: If you go out without an umbrella, you're going to get wet.
It can suggest sexual arousal in women, referring to vaginal lubrication—vulgar but common in casual and erotic contexts: She gets wet just thinking about him.
