The Best Way to Blow Your Nose: Tissues vs Toilet Paper

When it comes to blowing your nose, there are three main ways to do it: handkerchief, tissues or toilet paper. They all have their pros and cons, but which one is the best option? In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of using tissues over toilet paper for blowing your nose.

When it comes to blowing your nose, tissues are the way to go! Here are six reasons why:

1. Tissues are softer.

Facial tissue is softer than toilet paper, which might not seem like an important distinction. But when you’re blowing your nose multiple times, that extra bit of softness makes a big difference.

Toilet paper, on the other hand, is not as soft and can be harsh on your nose. It can also irritate your skin if you have sensitive skin. If you have a cold and need to blow your nose frequently, tissues are the way to go!

2. Facial tissues are larger than toilet paper.

The actual size of a tissue is larger than a sheet of toilet paper. This is so the tissue can absorb more mucus. There is also more surface area to blow or sneeze into. When blowing your nose, make sure to use a tissue that is big enough to cover your entire nose and mouth.

3. Tissues have a higher wet strength.

Tissues are more effective than toilet paper for catching mucus and preventing the spread of germs. Tissues are more absorbent and have a higher wet strength, meaning they won't fall apart when you blow your nose. The higher wet strength of tissues makes them better at trapping mucus, which means that you're less likely to spread germs when you blow.

4. Tissues have a smoother surface than toilet paper.

Tissues have a smoother surface than toilet paper, so they are less abrasive on your nose. This can help you avoid getting a sore nose from too much wiping. The smoother service also makes them feel softer, so they can feel more comfortable against your skin.

5. When a toilet is flushed, bacteria can be released into the air.

Flushing a toilet can release bacteria into the air, which can then contaminate the toilet paper. This makes it less than ideal for use as a tissue, as it can lead to infection.

Opt for facial tissues that are specifically designed for hygiene and won't leave you with a nasty infection. Your face will thank you for it!

6. Tissues are portable.

Tissues are portable, which means you can always have a few on hand. Tissues come in boxes or packs of various sizes. They're easy to store around the office, in your purse, backpack, or car.

In conclusion, tissues are the best way to blow your nose. They are softer and more gentle to use, and they come in larger sizes than toilet paper, making it easier to blow your nose effectively.

So the next time your nose is feeling stuffy, reach for a facial tissue instead of toilet paper. Your nose will thank you!

Just be sure to wash or sanitise your hands afterwards no matter what method you choose.
