First let me say that it's very nice, with a lot of different floral patterns. However, the material is so rough on my skin that using them as actual handkerchiefs is uncomfortable. I live in south Texas where the temperature is almost always 95-100 degrees on summer days. I can't even wipe the sweat off my forehead without feeling like I'm peeling a layer of skin. Forget about blowing your nose during allergy season. I'm disappointed. At least they weren't very expensive.
