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 time I checked they were about £2.50, ranging up to £3in some supermarkets. So why buy them? Well, here I feel I can give a lot of expertise as I am always ill, always coughing, sneezing, sniffling and needing to blow my nose. Tissues are a top necessity in my life, with boxes everywhere, at home, in the car, on my desk at work, and small packets are always in my handbag for al-fresco emergencies.

I used to buy supermarket brand tissues, but found they actually made me feel worse. For those who use Tesco or Asda brand tissues for when you have a heavy cold, I'm sure you can empathise with the tomato-red nose and the constant chaffing of what feels like sandpaper on your skin.

So I started to look a little upmarket, and saw these. I was immediately attracted to the fact it said 'soft' on the box. Whilst my nose was running and needing a soft cuddle, these tissues came to the rescue!

I liked how big they were, as it meant more room for my snot! (Sorry for the horrible choice of wording!) They lasted longer because it meant I didn't have to pick up a few tissues at once to blow my nose, in fear for it going everywhere. Nope, with these tissues you only need one and it gives you full coverage, guaranteed!

The softness of them is still the biggest attraction, and it felt really nice on my nose rather than the constant scraping I'd felt for days! I'm not sure what they put in the tissues, possibly Aloe Vera, but it makes them very comfortable to blow your nose 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 five come out, meaning you have to shove them back in! The tissues are linked together, so that when you pull one out, another pops out slightly ready for your next nose blow!

Summary: Perfect for colds and flu.
