Not really, It's more like a shammy towel used for drying cars but works great for a camp towel.

I really like the towel but I don't think that this would be your best option. If in a jam, I think it would work.

I usually take both. The towel is more absorbent than a bandana. I prefer the bandana for other tasks however, such as cooking for its smaller size

If used to wipe away sweat it would be great. Other wise you could probably find better options.

Maybe. Depends on what you are trying to soak/ wipe up. Sweat, tears, other non viscous liquids? Prob will work well for that. Nose fluid and other viscous liquids? Prob not so much

It would probably get gross pretty fast with mucus. For sweat they're great and if you're by a clean water source you can soak and wring out and have dry in the morning. For reusable kleenex I've always used the old red paisley bandanas just like my grandfather always had. White Paisley Bandanna

I don't really think so. Its much thicker than a normal handkerchief and not as soft. Its a great product, just probably not for this purpose

For backpacking: This would be great to tie to your shoulder strap to wipe sweat away. For everyday carry you probably would not want something this bulky in your pocket. I bought the xl to use for a towel and I always feel damp afterwards.

I wish I could help you. Wind Song "was" one of my favorites. I had a cardboard tube of Wind Song body powder and I absolutely loved it. It had the loveliest smell. I could use it like cologne. I liked to put it on my arms and chest at night and it smelled good all night and the next morning. I understood from the sales clerks they didn't make it any more. So I ordered the body powder--2 times--the first one didn't smell nearly good as what I had before, and the second one I have now I just don't like at all. The odor is actually a little offensive to me. I thought maybe I had changed somehow. I have used the cologne and also think there is a change in the scent and the time it lasts on me. So I have been disappointed, too. I didn't get in touch with the company but that may the only way to find out what it going on. I think we could Google it. But you are right, there has been changes in their Wind Song products. Sadly. Mary Ann Froelich

Hello Cindy,Thank you for contacting Tools for Wellness! The Wein Mini Mate is a great product! It's our best selling Personal air purifier. Although the devise works very well and will certainly assist you in your battle against allergens its difficult for me to say it will absolutely work for you. It works very well for most people and the reviews/feedback we get is very positive. But, everyone is different and depending ton the severity its difficult to say its the only tool you'll need. Sorry to be vague... I hope this helps. Thank you! Gail

A long time, I would think, but I must admit I have quit using mine. It actually seemed to increase the mask leakage. I think the edges are too thick (the thickness seems rather uniform & I think it would be better if the was more tapered towards the edges). I've gone back to using band aids. I just put lotion on the bridge of my nose before applying the band aid, which allows for easier removal the next morning.

Brim sizes as noted below, and yes, it will crush into a backpack with ease! I bought the bug repellant version and have noted absolute no odor on the hat, nor was I bothered with bugs on my recent trip to the Mayan Riviera, so the repellant seems to work as well. A great hat no doubt.

I use it on my nose, and it doesn't have lasting effects. And it doesn't work that good on your entire face. But that could just be me!

I purchased the multipack for a slotted nose. At first I thought the smallest (IS) would work best for me, but then I tried the middle size (IIS). I wore the middle one for a few hours and thought it was being pushed out of my nose, but it was my imagination.Then I tried the small size again and definitely realized the medium was better for me.

Hello, All three of us in our family use this and we love it but sad to say it doesn't last that long for us... it may be because we live in Louisiana where it's humid and we "glisten" or "sweat" all year round. it'll last 48hours at the most for us. But we love it because it's a great natural alternative and comfortable to wear. I've used other natural products and have hated the smell or the sticky feeling and it really has stopped me from using those anymore but Lavilin has made it's way into our daily live and regimin comfortably. My Husband doesn't even notice it's "Natural".

I also had fitting problems. Go to the woodyknows website and leave an email for them - they are extremely helpful and should be able to help you find the right ones for your nose. Once I got the right ones it made living with allergies SOOO much better!

I've not head mine for very long. I've used it only twice. But its not bad about things sticking to it. Mostly it just collects leaf fragments that get get caught on your clothes. If its not been drenched in icky,I would just do it like I do my goretex stuff, spot wash and rinse. I mean, your camping right? Plan for a little grime.

I suppose it's possible, but I would think you'd be better off wearing a mask. These little filters are not sturdy, are not easy to wear, are definitely noticeable, and if you need to wipe or blow your nose you would have to remove it them. Much easier to take a mask off for a minute rather than go through all of that with the filters.

I think that I have to say, "It is not allergen-impermeable" with the recent purchase. I have bought all new bedding stuff. But just once recently. used a 2 year-old anti-allergy quilt for a night, the kid sneezed whole night . What I notice is that the quilt cover I bought a few years ago (2 years ago?) was air-impermeable when it was zipped up and after lots of washing are becoming air-permeable, which means that when I made up the bed the cover was filled with air and I had to let air out gently. The ones I bought recently have the same problem. Also as the quilt is so thin, I have a thought that maybe one day, everything can be made without real material with the helping of some advanced technology.

I don't think it would be a good substitute for a machine that one uses for albuterol treatments. I used to need one of those machines and no, I don't think it would work nearly as well as the nebulizer, which delivers medication to a mouthpiece and more directly in to the lungs. This is more meant to be something like the effect you get from showering when you have a cold. It loosens your sinuses and moisturizes them and helps your lungs if you breathe deeply. It's meant more for a cold or sinusitis, not asthma or severe allergies or pneumonia which necessitate a nebulizer. I eventually bought my own nebulizer when I was badly afflicted with allergies, and there is no way this machine would have been as effective for helping me as the nebulizer was.

No, That's why I like this...it's so lightweight, it would be perfect as a dust mask...and you'd look so cool wearing it...I put it over my nose and mouth while cross-country skiing. I must look like a bandit in it. Love the colors...

Thank you for contacting Active Forever. Looking at this product, there is not an actual mask that goes over your nose. You can put your face close to the product but it shouldn't actually cover your nose area. The steam could possibly burn you. I personally, have not had any feedback about the other unit you were wondering about. I hope this answers your question.

If you use this spray, then blow your nose, it helps clear your nostrils, which relieves itching from dust, etc. It may also help mild allergies, but if you are suffering from severe nasal allergies (as I often do) this doesn't offer much relief. . . I got this to help moisten my nose, and it works well for that.

Youd be better off with just nose plugs. I'm thinking that you'd probable loose a mask with that activity.
