Fabric Tissue Challenge Results

Was it a win? Would you try?

(Picture by on Unsplash) Not sure that is a nose tissue… Apologies if I offend anyone with the photo choice. Thought the fabric looked class.

Back in July 2024, I posted about going from commercial tissues to cotton hankies.

I didn’t start right away but sharing this goal added momentum.

Then, one day, something clicked. This was about 6 months ago.

I’d had a stack of fabric tissues for ages, without ever making the jump. In November, I did it!

The perks of going for fabric handkerchieves

I’m delighted to report some cool results from the challenge:

• even when it felt a bit odd to have to explain I use fabric tissues when asked for a handkerchief, I was glad to vouch for a more environmentally-friendly option.
• I discovered other fabric tissue enthusiasts!
• I saved money and trips to the grocery store.

How to get started paper tissue-free

Get yourself two dozens of fabric tissues. One dozen works fine… until you get a cold. You get the picture.

Always keep two or three on you. Get yourself a nice pouch for them.

There’s something about getting out a nice piece of fabric when you’ve got a runny nose.
