Advantages: 4 ply, strong, don't break up in the wash

Disadvantages: Kleene is better

I?m pretty impressed with these tissues actually, especially considering they usually tend to be on special offer. Tempo tissues are definitely the strongest around from what I have seen, being four ply- some packs even claim to stay whole in the wash and not get bits all over you clothes. As my boyfriend nearly always forgets to fully empty his pockets (there?s usually one lurking) I have figured this is a fairly true statement?even for the ones which don?t say it on the box.

The two main types are Aloe ones like Kleenex Ultra Balm, and menthol ones, which are like nothing else. They smell very strong and are good if you?ve got a cold as they help you to breathe easy. Because of their strength though I wouldn?t suggest you use them too often as they typically make my eyes water, as the menthol scent is strong. They also come in pocket packs which is useful on the move.

These tissues are pretty good, but I feel that Kleenex are softer even though they?re typically more expensive and less often on offer. Superdrug and Boots have Tempo tissues on offer on a regular basis usually at 99p or buy one get one free. Otherwise they?re about £1.85 a box or pocket pack.
