The residue it leaves on your fingers is a bit icky, but anything is better than spending a week with an red and abraded nose. The difference (for me) is nothing less than remarkable.
Agreed. My housemates aren't so thrilled with it, so I buy my kleenex separately. Absolutely the best stuff ever when I have a cold or allergies are attacking.
See, you folks are wimps. Us year-round allergy sufferers just build callouses. I could (and in fact occasionally have to) wipe my nose with institution-brown paper towels without feeling pain.
See, I can never quite figure that out. My nose doesn't *get* red and abraded, no matter how long I'm sick. (And I get sick more than you do, don't I?) Maybe it's 'cause I get the extra-soft tissues.
The lotiony stuff doesn't *absorb* anything because it's already wet! It just pushes the snot around on your face.
After finally refusing to live anywhere with carpets and overstuffed furniture, I no longer have the never-ending faucet nose.... (damn dust mite allergies).
Even when I didn't don't recall tissue being that much of a problem. However, for treating the nose right, hard to beat a good old-fashioned hankercheif. Yep. I know folks have their own *eewww* factor over that, but it's easier on the nose, and better for the environment. It's my standard issue for workout and hiking, etc. They get washed with the socks.
I have nothing against a handkerchief, but it's just not practical for me when I have a cold. I went through well over an entire pocket pack today, about 18 sheets total, and I was only out for half the day! Maybe I'm just unusually mucousful when I have a cold.

Well, you can use a decent-sized handkerchief 3 or 4 times (it's not that unhygienic if you're blowing your nose that often!), so that's what, 4 or 5 hankies in a day? I must own at least 20 of the things.
Mind, I'm not organised enough to have 20 clean hankies all the time, but it does help even to alternate them with tissues. If I run out when I have a cold I sometimes just run up a few more (sewing machine plus charity shop cotton shirts or sheets).

You can really tell who hasn't discovered the beauty by their red, scratchy, nasty noses.

Seriously, though, that would be so messy. You'd have to keep them in a Ziploc.
