Handkerchief

lilbeth, 31 May, 2015 at 17:39 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 9

A very random post but it is Sunday afternoon, I'm a little bored and thought I would share my revelation.

I always thought handkerchiefs were for the older generation or for men. But the other day Mum gave me one as I had a cold and Im in love! So soft on the nose and don't break up like a tissue it's wonderful.

Think I need to go shopping!

Anyone else use them?

    I don't like them as when I have the cold I like to dispose of my tissue in the bin, to me it's more hygienic x

    I use handkerchiefs to put olbus and eucalyptus oil on when I have a cold but wouldn't use them for blowing my nose on for the same reason as Pink & Glitz.

    Handkerchiefs are very pretty but unless you are going to wash it after every nose blow, they will hold onto all the germs. Stick with tissues ?

    I have several vintage ones but really they're for show only. I always have tissues with me as well! Kleenex only though - never cheap ones. Kleenex don't wreck my nose unless I have a really nasty cold.

    I used to when I was a kid, but haven't had one for years.

    My grandma uses them and she swears by them. I've got hayfever and I sneeze constantly so throw aways are my best bet!

    Pretty sure I keep kleenex in business!

    I get what you're saying about them being soft, but i prefer to chuck my tissues away once i've used them...

    I guess if you buy lots of them that may not be an issue.

    I've never used a handkerchief but I don't think I want to either. I don't like the idea of germs lingering.
