We use KimWipes @ our facility. I have seen people using them to blow their noses &amp; wipe their eyes. Is this OK to do?

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!

I find them helpful for removing eyeliner from my lower lash line and the outer corner of my eye but I have to be careful to be gentle. I'm paranoid about removing make-up, so I would wash with a cleanser first, just to get the surface stuff off, and then follow up with these!

I have worn my regular glasses, sunglasses over contacts, and safety glasses at varying times. I haven't noticed any discomfort. I use the Bilsom during leaf blowing/vacuuming and find some kind of eye covering beneficial. On the other hand, I don't do this for more than 30 minutes at a time.

No, I would try it though. They sound miserable. It smells really bad. I probably would go for the oil though. It might help drown the buggers! I wouldn't use on young children or the elderly or if their immune system is compromised. I have the oil, herbal pills as well as soap and shampoo.

Hello MJR. I would say that rinsing is necessary. I use the wipes at night to remove eye make-up (one side of the wipe for one eye, and the other side for the other eye), when my face is dry. Then I wash my whole face with my regular soap and wash it off. I don't put soap in my eyes, so water is sufficient for rinsing the suds from the wipes off. Hope this helps.

This sounds like a question for the manufacturer. I only use it according to mfg. instructions. Though it doesn't sound like a bad idea, but I'm not the one to ask. Hope this helps. I would add: if you go ahead with your plan to please wear a good respirator.

Yes, it is my understanding that this is how to use it. That is what I do. I bought one a couple of years ago and like it, but truthfully cannot say it has helped in anyway. I also bought one for my son, and he has asthma, I don't think he ever used it. Hope this was helpful.

Not really. Or at least from plastic. One is shooting salt water up the nose. And, I tend to be congested when I use it. So, smelling isn't an option.

I'm thinking of getting the irrigation system. My doctor recommended irrigating the sinuses with salt water, I just make it at home. I used to use a neti pot, but I don't like it so I just use my clean hand cupped and it works better for me. Yes, it does help much. It also prevents colds and the flu. Another thing that helps my allergies to pollens is filtering the air I have a hepa filter that relieves my allergies after filtering the air for 45 minutes, and rinsing out my sinuses, together that helps a lot. I'm thinking of getting the irrigation system, if it'll save me time. I wish some one who had one would post.

I find that if you start with a very clean, dry nose, they hold up incredibly well. I have used them for hours while sweating with no issues. Do NOT get the clear kind, those do not stay on well at all.

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

I have used them and both sides work as long as applied with narrow side along nose and bigger rounded side on outer edge of eye. They feel cool immediately and will stay that way for about 20 mins. They adhere well to the eye and even though it says not to reuse, I have with no problems. I would buy more. Sorry its taken me a couple of days to answer but flu running through house.

It is to concentrate the stream on your nose. I'm sure you can use it on your chin too. That's what my wife does.

I would not use. I have been getting mixed messages as to wearing this device in flight. In one of the magazines it stated it had not been approved. They suggested wearing a mask if there was a concern with air quality.I still use at other places.

Honestly, you don't. I remove the filters to blow my nose. However, I will say that after wearing these for a while, you will find that you will be blowing your nose much less. My doctor finally got me to understand that this problem needs to be addressed in the order of: Nose, Sinus, Throat Chest. Whereas I was doing it backwards. Dealing with a runny nose, then sinus problem then sore throat then respiratory infection. Now, by blocking the irritants at the source (my nose), I am not breathing in the allergens which has greatly decreased the runny nose, draining sinus and I have not had one infection since using these. I also take zyrtec D now during the active allergy season (which I think is forever for me), flonase when needed and singulair daily. I have had to use a rescue inhaler only once in the past two months. So yes, remove them to blow your nose but I think you will find that as you wear them you will have to do that less and less.

Hello Rockstar, we appreciate you asking this question. The pads are intended to be used per the directions printed on the label, and detailed in the listing: "Wipe gently over face and neck area using circular motions and avoiding contact with eyes and lips. Do not rinse. Tighten cap on jar after use to prevent pads from dying out . Can be used twice daily." So if you are asking whether the active solution should be left on your face to dry without being removed, yes. If you are asking about actually finding some means to hold a pad in place over night, we would not recommend that to you. If you think about it further, if the pad was somehow atached to the face during sleep, it could perhaps get dislodged in some way, you would then have no control over wher it may end up. You would not want to wake up with the pad resting in your eye for example. Fondest regards, Cherie :)

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
