Advantages: Big . Strong and not girly .

Disadvantages: Other brands give you more for your money .

have a rather large nose. Therefore and ergo I need a big tissue. No, I need a large tissue.......NO I NEED A MAN SIZE TISSUE !

Kleenex for men have been created for guys like me who don't get colds....we always get the flu. Send any woman out to get you tissues when you have a cold and she will bring back a girly box of fluff. A man with a cold, sorry, the flu will trudge around the supermarket and hunt down these blanket sized industrial waste containers. it's SNOT funny when your nose is runny!

----- What are they ? -----
A house hold favourite from a well established brand. Kleenex and Kimberly Clark have been around forever. These are basically large tissues. Just like bog roll they are two ply. Unlike bog roll they only come in white. The large tissue market is so huge that it is amazing that this brand has such a large market share. About 2,500,000 of us buy Kleenex for men every year. However 63% of those who use them are...........WOMEN! That might explain why they are listed on Ciao under heath and beauty in the make up make-up accessories area. They do have a multitude of uses because of their sheer size.

----- Size and feel -----
Not only can you toot your honker or blow your nose, but here are some other alternatives for my box of MAN SIZE.....

Mrs uses them for the make-up removal of course.

They are pretty good for grabbing a handfull of to clean the dipstick (of the car before anyone gets smart!).

Bra padding (so i'm told). Go up-a-cup by stuffing a cup, or two.

Spit on them and voila you have every mother's magical face cleaner.

Seriously though, they are fairly robust as far as tissues go. A handfull stuffed in your pocket doesn't end up as a fuzzy ball before you use them.I remember the old ad campaign about "they stay strong even when wet" and it still rings true. Without going into graphic detail, you would need a lot of power to blow through these. If you are a teacher or librarian you should shove at least 10 or so up your jumper sleeve.....WHY? I don't know, you should ask them. They are about the same size as a sheet of A4 paper 30cm by about 27cm. If you wanted to you could cover about 8 square meters with them. Why? Again I don't know but that's what the box says. The only real disadvantage I can see is the average contents. You get roughly 100 of these germ catchers per box, about 1.5p per blow (hmm, wonder if Hugh Grant........) however I am not going to count .....every.....one.....just.....to....HEY I only got 97!

----- price and availability -----
On their own for about £1.50 or on offer as a twin pack at around £2.50. Shop around for them as the supermarkets and chemists always do bulk buy offers in the winter.

By the way it's happy 50th birthday to them in 2006. Check out their website for some "Amazing" facts, top ten reasons why men cry (no a kick in the nuts isn't mentioned, but physical injury is), and info on the Kimberly Clark group......not on tour at the moment.

They use recycled materials wherever possible and they do not use any wood from tropical rainforrests. Hopefully you will not have to recycle them yourself.

Summary: Got an Issue? Use a Tissue !
