Would this be good as a handkerchief? Thank you everyone! To be a bit more clear, I'm looking for an alternative kleanex for my nose :( allergies are a killer while backpacking and I run out of kleanex fast!

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

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 have allergies too. I use this for dusting everything in the home. It makes quick work of dusting large and small areas. It fits into small spaces. I love it. I still go over thing once in a while with Windex, but for weekly cleaning it works great and is very fast. I find I do a much better job of dusting with this brush. Things like doors and around windows that I did once in a blue moon I do about every other week now since it is so fast.

Seems a bit wasteful to me. They are lint free, scratchy particle free Kleenex I suppose. Way cheaper to buy a box of nasal tissues to blow a nose? There is a correct tool for every task, and a person ( being kind here) to abuse that tool!

It's merely a talcum--so it will provide dryness but has no perspiration blocker. If you perspire heavily, it will not work at all. If you're allergic to the ingredients in some deodorants, it will work splendidly. I use it only to sprinkle areas that don't seem to dry completely from toweling off. And it won't soil clothing.

Hmmm.....interesting question. You realize that this calls for a completely subjective answer, right? What may be soft enough for my face, may not be soft enough for yours.....in fact, I prefer Scott toilet paper which is sandpaper compared with the newer toilet paper products on the market, or even Charmin which is not so new, but much softer. So let me try to give you an answer by way of analogy: Have you ever seen those rolls of brown paper in restrooms in stores? These paper towels are much softer than those. However, these are not anywhere near as soft as the new paper towels marketed by Kleenex (the ones they recommend you use in place of hand towels in the bathroom). We use these mostly in the kitchen, but I do use them to blow my nose and they are soft enough, and strong enough, for that (I go right through tissues!). But, these paper towels are not as soft as Bounty paper towels. A long answer, but I hope it helps.

I have not used one of these towels before << disclaimer, but i have done a lotttt of camping and i think you're going to want a towel that is a bit more robust. If there's even the chance that it'll disintegrate and it sounds like it's paper thing, i wouldn't put all my eggs in my pocket....just a bit of friendly advice from a fellow glamper.

Amazin Goop would probably hold the two together. It really is quite strong and durable. Anyway Goop is pretty cheap and it would be worth a try.

Yes. It has helped me a lot. It basically creates a relatively clean pocket of air under your nose. Of course, a few things are likely to slip through, but I find it a dramatic improvement.

No I wouldn't . It's small granular that you could inhale. That could cause other issues. In addition, Often nose bleeds come from deep in the sinus cavity and the powder would not even be effective at treating such things

I still use my e cloths but they have a funny smell. I am planning on buying Norwex very soon. I thought at first they were pretty comparable but the more I use them, the bigger the difference I see.

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 was using it for nosebleeds and it was the wrong idea because you couldn't stop the blood even for a second to use the Celox. Eventually I just had it cauterized and that did the trick. Good luck with dad.

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 don't think that would work so well. The bottle has a special lid applicator. It is a powder, but, you hold the bottle sidways and just squeeze and the powder shoots out. Don't breath it in. If you get it on you then wash it off. I have had great success whit this product. Anything that looks like a catipillar will die in less than a day. You leave it on the plants and about once a week I reapply when it starts dissapearing. depending on how much gets washed off by wind, rain and watering. The product is much safer to use and for the environment. Happy gardening!

Well, I tried the squeeze bottle of filtered water and uniodized salt (warmed up of course), and it worked fine.That said, I just tried the NeilMed Sinus Rinse kit, and ooh la la, it's fantastic! No nasal burning at all, and it really feels good. I'm impressed. I still will use the drugstore squeeze bottle of filtered water if I'm stuffed up on a trip, but otherwise NeilMed is great!

It would be great for organizing pantyhose! Each circle is covered, so holder will not put a run in your hose. I will order another one for my tights and hose...thanks for the idea.
