Tissues or Hankerchief to blow out nose?

M

I know that after a while you should blow out your nose to clear the excess snuff but do most people use a hankerchief or tissues? When I blow out it can be kind of messy so I would think tissues would work better because you can immediately throw them away. I guess since you only need to do this maybe twice a day you could use a hankie and just wash it every day.

T

Tissue is hard on the nose, as for needing to wash my hankies daily, well I have 10 hankies which I suspect is a modest number for this forum

L

i have 20 hankies and i carry 2 of them everyday.

H

I only have like five, maybe six hankies so I use tissue paper most of the time, which sucks. They don’t bother my nose they’re just weak so little flecks of toilet paper will get on my shirt after a good blow.

E

Hankies at home for me, and as I work from home that means I usually use hankies. I have a drawer full of them. Some are large bandana types, other are are smaller 100% cotton squares which I have dyed various shades of khaki and brown (with Dylon, not snuff!). I tend to take those little pocket packs of tissues to the pub though there is always a hanky in my pocket for de-snuffing the face.

P

Tissues, all the way, for me.

H

Hankies when I am out and about, tissues at home.

N

Hankies, can’t have enough, most places sell them for 1-2$ grab an extra one when/wherever you can! Also old cotton shirts make good squares.

Handkerchiefs about 90-95% of the time. I have 20 or so, so there are always one or two clean. A small one lasts half a day. A large one can sometimes last two days. I shake and scrape them outside when they are dry. When they are saturated, they go to the hanky pre-laundry. That is a basket by my shower. When shower time comes one or two shower with me. At the end I hang them up. Then to the hamper with the regular laundry. I learned by breaking a washing machine with dusty work clothes that you need to prewash heavy soils before washing them #-o

I use both, I prefer hankies but recently bought a 10 pack of aloe vera impregnated pocket tissues which are handy when out and about.

I had about 8 bandana style handkerchief (and some nice white for suits). Found a company in USA and ordered 24. They made a mistake and sent 48. I’ve been collecting silk pocket squares for years and have hundreds. someday I will post (as soon as I learn to use the simplest camera in the world which I just bought). Can’t quite see using them for my nose. I used to dress well which including accessorizing.

I prefer hankies. Got a 30 pack of them from a surplus website for 11 bucks a couple months ago.

Bandana type hankies for cleaning after snuffing or just catching a little bit of runny nose after a good sized hit.Tissues for blowing for the most part,but I will blow into a hankie if its about to go in the laundry.

B

tissue and throw away. They plant trees for this purpose and I support tree farmers. loggers, truckers, paper mills, and the staff at all these company’s and the stores that sell them; not to mention the advertisers and actors or cartoonist .and the garbage men that haul’s them away. Washing, waste water and soap and electricity.

Tissues all the way, but I wish they made them in unbleached paper like they do coffee filters that would be the perfect color.

Hankerchief on the go. sitting at computer tissues.

S

I just blows holes in tissues so I use tartan cotton hankies.

C

I use KimWipes. Ha! I don’t recommend this, I’m just a lab rat bench scientist and that’s what’s always around right under my nose, so to speak.

F

In private I use tissues, when im out I like the camouflage of an ugly hanky to hide the unplesent excretions.

L

Always use kitchen roll. Tear a couple of sheets off and put them in my pocket. Really tough, absorbent and can be folded and used a few times before throwing away.

B

hankies they are cheap and reusable. Got a ton on amazon for a few bucks. Didn’t get to pick the colors but that is fine.

Your wife’s and girl friends unmentionables , Your pillow case,Your favorite bath towel, the curtains, The family pet… What did you think I do while your at work? With your snuff. Thanks for sharing!

K

I cut up my old toffee fatigue tees from when I was in the army, they are soft as a lamb’s ears and low in contrast to the color of snuff run-off.

P

Tissues. I usually stack 3 sheets together, works for me.

P

Paper towels mostly. Good for two or three massive nose fulls. I always have a hankerchief in the back pocket for in a pinch(HA!), to dry the ladies tears, or to make a tourniquet.

M

Dark silk squares for dusting; tissues for the blow out

K

Bounty Paper Towels , I use them three or four times before tossing .

L

As far as paper towels go, Kleenex Viva are the bomb. I use these particular paper towels the most. I keep a roll in my car and 1 in my desk at work. I like lotion tissues the best (you must try Kleenex Cool Touch) but this is a luxury, as everyone knows tissues with a snuff hobby can become very expensive. I have 4 hankies that I alternate. Extra unscented fabric softener is a staple.

Great now because of @like_a_ninja I feel like ninjas have not only a paper towel preference but they know how to use them as weapons as well (I quote they are the bomb). Thanks right when I was feeling comfortable living in the ninja section of town.
