These handkerchiefs have an excellent ability to catch and hold very large amounts of mucus or mucus. You saved lives at my department meetings. My family has severe allergies and we always keep a box of tissues by our side or in our hand. Grandpa taught me to shoot a snot rocket on the ground and then blow my nose with a tissue. So you can carry a handkerchief all day long. Since they seem to have the ability to "moisturize," I no longer have to do that, which my boss found rude anyway. These handkerchiefs fill the bill. They are also inexpensive and dry overnight. Just fill them up and grab another one. I always have 3 in my bag.
