Paper tissues are no healthier than cloth tissues.
Abandoned by our generations, silky handkerchiefs are nevertheless legitimate.
If, like me, you're tired of red and irritated noses from paper tissues, treat yourself to a tissue handkerchief. I find them so silky, and at least they won't scar my face!
Changing every day, I need about 14 that I wash in each washing machine. No, my snot never ended up on my favorite t-shirt! Ask your grandmother if she still has some in stock for you. I'm sure it does;-).
Unless, of course, you keep it in your pocket for several days. If I change it, every day or even more often depending on the degree of runny nose, I fear nothing. Between us, who hasn't already used a paper handkerchief until it was completely torn? It's not necessarily better. Everything is in measure. I hope I have reassured you.
There are very pretty fabric handkerchiefs, I even made them myself by cutting up an old sheet or other scraps of fabric lying around at the back of a cupboard.
And you, are you more of a fabric handkerchief or a paper handkerchief? Give your opinion in "comments"!
Quick calculation... in winter, we consume at least three tissues per day. After three months, at the end of winter, we therefore used 3*30*3 =270 handkerchiefs.
Total multiplied according to temporary seasonal ailments, especially colds. I'll let you do the math for a family of 5! As far as I am concerned, on my own, I make at least 10€ in savings per winter.
