I just learned that humans don’t have receptors to sense wetness. What is it that we feel when water touches our skin then?

Question

From my understanding, we’re able to feel the temperature, texture and pressure of water. And if we’re able to feel all that, what more else is there? What defines wetness and what should it feel like?

So interesting. Reminds me when I wear those long gloves when washing dishes. Sometimes I can’t tell if water got into the gloves or if my hands got sweaty or if it’s just the feeling of the water on the outside of the gloves.
