I bought these knowing what I was getting for the price. If I needed these handkerchiefs, I would go elsewhere and buy something made of linen or silk. But these were only bought to make contact and befriend an allergic nose. They are therefore ideally suited for their intended use. The only thing I objected to was that the manufacturer failed to clean up the excess threads on the finished product before packaging it. And believe me, there must have been at least seventy-five or more of those loose threads, one of which was at least eight inches long. For $8 I got what I paid for and I'm not disappointed apart from loose threads that could be removed before packing which was nice.
