Advantages: doesn't make me look like rudolf
Disadvantages: You get through at least two regular boxes of these when you have a cold

...So winter out the way, we actually have a box of tissues left for once, so spring must be in the air with all the colds and flu's out the way, so I thought I would recommend the only box of tissues allowed within our household, especially during winter otherwise a certain Rudolf ends up with a shiny red nose for weeks on end, unless she uses these tissues and Vaseline intensive care moisturiser. Yes, I'm afraid Rudolf n this household just so happens to be me. So in this review, I will explain my brand of tissues to you, getting up close and personal (not too personal with those of you with colds, I don't fancy using the whole box of tissues right at this moment in time thanks) Packaging The tissues themselves are in a box about five centimetres in height by so long in width. The box fits perfectly on the edge of my dining table... Read review

Advantages: none really although marketing was good
Disadvantages: product too small and expensive and fails to live up to the claims

...You remember the advert. Just hold this tissue in front of your face whilst I squirt you with water. Whoops! It's a normal tissue and you just got wet, here try this one. Punter is then handed a "Tempo" tissue and the exercise is repeated save this time there is no soaking as the tissue holds firm. Wow! Forgive my sarcasm. The challenge presented by companies seeking a new marketing edge for their products must have worn thin by now. We've had the bigger, softer, lotion impregnated and smelly varieties now we have a product that claims to combine all of these but with added strength. What next? A tissue that blows your nose for you? Or acts like a sanitary towel, absorbing the snot so you can re-use it again and again --- now there's a product idea if ever I saw one! Research has shown that as consumers we are moving away... Read review

Advantages: Very soft, strong and absorbant
Disadvantages: Very expensive

...I have a cold. And when I have a cold, I’m miserable. Well, that only means I’m just like everyone else. But remember, I live in Israel and right now in addition to having a cold, we have a heat-wave. Believe me, there is absolutely nothing worse than a “summer cold”. On the one hand, you try to get out of the heat by finding someplace cool, but then you feel worse. And there’s nothing more disturbing than not being able to cuddle under a lovely warm duvet when you’re not feeling up to snuff, as it were! So what do I do to make myself feel better when I have a cold? Several things, actually. And one of them is to use a really good tissue for my nose. You see, I’m the type of person who honks when they blow their nose. That means that within an hour of getting a cold, my nose is red and sore. That’s why we keep a box... Read review

Advantages: Nice natural vapour in darkest hour of a cold
Disadvantages: Not much different to other tissues

...That time of the year has arrived again! No, not the jingling of overpowering supermarkets muscling in for Christmas Cash. The sound we hear is a more sinister on SNEEZING! Yes, its winter, it's brass monkey weather and most people suffer and sniffle their way to spring. I thought that I had previously found a tissue to help me through this in the various Balsam tissues that are available. And while they do their purpose in stopping your nose going too red through irritation etc, there is a new tissue on the market that I think merits introduction. HELLO! ----------- Lotus tissues have teamed up with the makers of Olbas Oil to brin you tissues with Olbas Oil! (WOW! Who would have guessed!) For those who don't know, Olbas oil is a menthol liquid that can
