I realize it's weird to give these tissues 5 stars overall, but no more than 3 in any category. The reason is that they're useful for plenty of non-nose purposes, but not soft enough for more than occasional nose-blowing. I'm not a fan of super-soft, linty or lotion tissues, but these are just smooth with no softness, similar to Kimwipes/lab wipes. So they're great for small drying jobs where softness isn't necessary and a paper towel is too much. On the packaging, I'd love to see bigger boxes, See full review
