The skin, all 6-10 lb. and 20 square feet in an adult, is a washable, stretchable, tough, water-proof sensory apparatus covering your whole body. Most likely the Meissner's corpuscles (or tactile corpuscles) responsible for sensitivity to light touch and are found in very large numbers in the fingers, lips and nipples are the most common. They do become desensitized after some time. For example you don't feel the clothes you are wearing after awhile.
