Kleenex Balsam Pocket Packs > Reviews (16)

I suffer from really bad hayfever and so I am always blowing my nose and needing to carry tissues around with me. As a consequence I usually end up with a very sore red nose which starts to crack after a few days and does not look attractive at all.

I always have a packet of tissues with me wherever I go and find the handy little pocket pack of tissues a great buy. I buy them in the big multi 6 packs and stick one in all my different bags so I know I always ahve a tissue with me. I find this so handy. I used to carry a bit of toilet paper that I quickly stuffed in my bag cut from the roll as I was running out the door but this always seems to spread tissues fibres all over my bag and leaves the inside of my bag looking like a white mess and leaves the toilet tissue looking a bit worse for wear and not something I would enjoy blowing my nose on.

That is why these packets are so handy. The tissues stay fresh and clean inside the plastic packet and you only need pull one out when you are ready to use it. The plastic packet has a little sticky tab that you pull in order to get into the tissues.

The tissues themselves are really good quality and are quite thick and strong. You get quite a good few blows out of one tissue and it does not fall apart which is nice. The best thing though about these tissues is that they contain a micro-fine layer of calendula which is a balm which soothes the nose and helps prevent it from being sore and red, something I generally suffer from and hate. If you rub the tissue between your fingers you can feel that the tissues have a texture to them but when you rub them on your nose you don't really feel anything sticky or like you have a balm on your nose, it just makes it feel nice and smooth and although it doesn't fully protect against that red look it has definitely calmed my hayfever nose down.

Each packet has nine tissues in it and if you buy the 6 pack it will cost you £1.29, good value in my opinion and a product I recommend.
