Tissues or handkerchiefs?

Personally, I think hankies are nasty. They carry germs and get dirty quickly. I much prefer tissues. Even if I have to carry a big box of them around, I would rather use tissues.

I thought they were both the same thing but that shows how uneducated I am. I am kind of figuring that one is paper and the other is cloth.

I much prefer tissues cos if you got a real runny nose I can only imagine how horrible a fabric one would get. I like the ones that come with balm on them cos they make your nose nice and soothed.

I'm a tissue person. Of course my dad always has a hanky, but I like the tissues. They are more hygenic than hankies. Of course, if you use a lot of tissues a person needs to be vigilant in throwing them away. Left out they could spread germs, as well as being gross to look at. I'm afraid every time I go see my parents, their are quite a few used tissues sitting on the Computer Desk, from my mom.

I prefer using tissues to a hankercgiek especially if I am having a runny nose. It so yucky having to wash the mucus filled hanky and I think it's is more hygienic to throw away the tissues after they are used.

I am a big tissue user. They are easy to carry around, & best of all, they can be thrown out after. I prefer the tisues with aloe vera in them, as they are gentle on my nose.
My husband on the other hand, prefers hankys. I a always washing & ironing them. People give him hankies for presents, so he has heaps of them.

Yeah, I think I can identify with this.:) I too feel that it's more hygienic to use tissue paper than to reuse a handkerchief. So that's what I prefer to do. Tissues can be used just once and then thrown away. Then I can just take a brand new piece when I need to.

I definitely prefer tissue paper for hygiene reasons.

I am not a fan of the handkerchief. I mean you blow snot on it, then you put it back in your pocket, that can not be good! Just give him a trash bin:)

I use both

I personally prefer tissues, you use them and throw them away. Handerchiefs carry germs, and after you use them you put it back it your pocket. I think that is kind of nasty to keep reusing it until you wash it. It is too much maintenance to blow your nose in a handerchief, because you have to wash them constantly because they are filled with germs. Tissues all day.

I prefer to use tissues because it is meant for use and throw, thus more handy and hygienic. I use the towel type of handkerchief when I go for exercise. It is more economical as I would need lots of tissues. I only need to wash and dry the handkerchief for next reuse.
