Advantages: Absorbent, 3-ply, bigger than average tissues Disadvantages: A little expensive
...thought eh!) I usually use Kleenex for Men tissues, for a number of reasons.
1. The are larger than normal tissues, which as well as taking a lot of gunk, will cover my face when I sneeze hopefully preventing a recurrence of the incident mentioned above!
2. They are 3 ply tissues, so are quite strong and not going to disintegrate when wet (not with rain!)
3. They are quite soft, and as I go through ... ...sneeze!
Kleenex for Men tissues were first sold in 1957, so they?ve been around a few more years than I have! They come in boxes of 90, which keep me going for about a week (I told you, I sneeze a lot!). They cost about £1.69 a box, but you can get them in double packs costing £2.99. They are also on special offer at places like Boots quite often, so if you shop around you can usually find them cheaper.
It wasn't really my fault. Honest! It was more a bizarre coincidence of events, although admittedly it did lead to one shocked little girl, one hospital admission and the demolition of very expensive looking statue! I really am very sorry that I was the cause of all this, and everyone was really nice about it. But it all happened because I wasn't carrying a tissue!
It all started when I was queuing to get my room key on a recent weekend away. I'm unfortunate enough to suffer from a dust allergy, and little things like perfume or someone smoking can set me off sneezing. Well, I think someone must have walked past who had been a bit liberal with their Chanel No. 5 and I could feel that tell-tale tickle begin in my nostril, foretelling me of an impending sneeze.
It all happened very quickly and I didn't have any tissues on me. The last time I looked no-one was in the queue behind me, so rather than sneezing over the people ahead of me, I turned around and sneezed towards the floor behind me. Ordinarily this wouldn't have been a problem, at most there would have been a light spray exiting my mouth, drifting away gently in the breeze. But not today!
I'd had a little bit of a cough and snuffle for the previous few days, and despite putting my hand around my mouth when I sneezed, a little bit of, ermmmm, how can i put this, greeny! escaped my mouth. It flew towards the floor behind me, landing about 4 inches from the feet of a little girl who had appeared from nowhere.
Time seemed to stand still for a few seconds. She looked at me with a shocked expression, I looked at her in horror, then it all happened.
She started screaming and turned round and ran across the foyer. I might have got away with it if she hadn?t run straight into a passing waiter who was carrying a rather impressive looking tray of food. For a little girl she had picked up quite a bit of momentum and knocked this poor chap flying, right into a statue mounted on a pedestal towards the edge of the foyer. The statue was obviously not glued onto the pedestal, and went tumbling to the floor, along with the waiter and all this food.
I stood their, shocked!
After the dust had settled, we were left with one shocked but otherwise uninjured little girl, an equally shocked and surprisingly understanding waiter who suffered a broken wrist, a wrecked meal (there was no way of salvaging it from the floor and curtains!) and a statue in a few more pieces than it had been when I first walked in.
Whoops!
I was mortified and extremely apologetic, as it was me that set this chain of events in motion. The staff and the family of the little girl were very understanding, telling me it wasn't my fault and it could have happened to anybody, and after a few brandies I managed to calm down and stop feeling quite so guilty.
And the moral of this story, after all this is supposed to be a product review! Well, never go anywhere, and I mean ANYWHERE without a good supply of tissues, stored where they are easily accessible. I now never leave home without a pocket stuffed full of tissues.
Now there are loads of tissues to choose from, so which one is best?

3. They are quite soft, and as I go through a lot of tissues they do not irritate my poor little sensitive nose.
I don?t buy those little packets of tissues, as I can never get the packet out of my pocket and a tissue out of the packet before I sneeze!

So there you have it, I know the story is a lot longer than the actual product review, but I thought it was important to let you know the reason why you should never, EVER leave home without a pocket full of tissues!
Advantages: A strong and large tissue Disadvantages: A bit dearer than most
Kleenex tissues go way back to the 1920`s and they were first advertised as being useful for wiping off cold cream. I am sure that I am not the only one who often whips one out of the box to help remove y foundation cream. Kleenex tissues are a product of Kimberley Clark, who take on board that creating sustainability was one of the major issues that could ensure them a healthy future as a business.
All of the Kleenex cartons are fully recyclable ... ...a tissue for every occasion.
Kleenex Lotion tissues for added softness, Everyday tissues with extra absorbency, the Anti-viral tissue that helps kill the germs from colds and flu, Kleenex Expressions, a facial tissue, Kleenex Ultra Soft for when a cold or flu has made your skin sore, Kleenex tissues with menthol to help when you have a cold, Kleenex Extra large (for big noses?), Kleenex Naturals made from recycled fibres and Kleenex holiday which ...

Advantages: Soft, comfortable on a sore nose, large so you don't use as many Disadvantages: Expensive
Kleenex 'Man Size' tissues have been in the shops for as long as I can remember, proudly claiming to be the more superior tissue to your regular standard tissues. So what makes them man-size? Well they're big. They're big enough to cover your whole hand and nose/mouth for when you need to blow your nose. Possibly called man-size due to the fact that men supposedly have bigger hands, therefore need more coverage. These tissues are quite costly. Last ... ...with. You'll easily recognise Kleenex in shops from the fancy white writing on either a blue or black background, saying their name. The man size tissues are easy to spot as they are in big boxes! The box is standard, made of cardboard with an oval cut-out section that you can just push in and pull out, ready to take your tissues. They are well designed, so that you only pull one out at a time, whereas in cheaper brands you tend to pull one out and ...

Advantages: Absolutely Huge Tissues! Disadvantages: Supposedly Just For Men
...to write a review about Kleenex for men.
Though I am a girl, and am supposed to like those thin tissues that come in square boxes in a variety of pastle shades, when I have a cold, I do like Kleenex for Men. Reasons I Like Them
------------------------------
1. these tissues are huge (30 x 27 cm) so they can be folded and still be big enough to cover your face when you sneeze, so no matter how strong the sneeze you wont rip the tissue.
2. They ... ...Things I don't like about Kleenex for Men
-------------------------------------------------------
1. The fact they are called Kleenex for men really gripes me, we girls use tissues for so many things, colds, make up removal, lipstick blotting, first aid for children and husbands, spill cleaning, the list goes on. But men seem to be the ones who need specially designed tissues.
2. The box - as with all Kleenex boxes, you pull out a section in the ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Kleenex For Men"
When I was a kid, I remember walking round the supermarket with my mum (against my will) and noticing products on the shelves, imagining what Id put in my own trolley (Well I had to do something to escape the boredom)
Ive always been into brands and big names, so I always imagined selecting Kleenex tissues for my trolley, cos they were the best ones. I used to be dumbfounded by 'Kleenex for men'...just what would haooen if a woman were to use them? Would she catch some horrible illness? Would be she sued by Kleenex for misuse of their products?
Anyway, the weird workings of my mind aside, Im all grown up now, and every week I trail my trolley round Sainsburys, and select a box of Kleenex tissues to adorn my coffee table. We cant be having cheap no frills boxes on display now can we? I dont buy Kleenex For Men though (do they still ...
Advantages: very soft and caring on a sore nose Disadvantages: bit on the expensive side
and great for wiping sticky fingers after a picnic. You can also get the Kleenex normal tissues which are available in twin pack boxes so work out a little bit cheaper and there are still Kleenex for Men and the lovely Collection cube shaped boxes which come is 3 designs and look nice in any room. There are facial tissues and even a travellers pack specially designed to fit in your glove compartment of car door.
For those worried about the waste and damage to the environment caused by using disposable tissues Kimberley-Clark have strict policies to deal with this. They plant double the amount of trees they cut down, have energy conservation mills which use less fuel and they believe greatly in recycling. Good to know in these days of throw away mentality that is more convenient to most of us. They do not use wood taken from Rainforests ...
Advantages: soft, soothing, affordable Disadvantages: could be stronger
tissues include: Ultra Soft, Regular tissues, Kleenex for men, Kleenex Collection, Kleenex pocket pack and Kleenex travellers.
***Kleenex suggest that you do not use the Balsam Tissues for wiping spectacles, as they leave behind a balm which would not do your lenses much good at all!***
So you see, not only are these tissues nice and soft, they look after your nose and protect against redness and soreness where an ordinary tissues would rub and chafe, but Kleenex are constantly improving the way they work to have better effects on the environment.
Now, for all of you who have a cold, whenever that may be, I urge you to splash out on these tissues- you will not regret it! In fact, I would suggest that you keep a box of it in the house in readiness- you don't want to have to start off with anything nasty and rough!
I hope you all ...
