Review on Marcal Pro 2-Ply Facial Tissues 100% Recycled White Box Of 100 30 Boxes Per Case Bulk Packaging by Timothy Wall

Revainrating 2 out of 5

TBH, wish I had not made this purchase

Rev'd up by all the information I've been getting in my social media feeds lately about forests being chopped down for TP & tissues, I decided to make more of an effort at sustainability and as I've purchased and been happy with Marcal TP in the past, thought I would try their tissues. What. A. Mistake.I am not a fan of super soft tissues, in fact I avoid the types that are "lotion infused' or super soft but these are so rough they feel almost like sandpaper! I'm resigned to using the 60 or so boxes I bought, slowly and unhappily (waste not, want not) but I know that if anyone in my family gets a cold and you know how that is.your nose gets sore & red after awhile.I will have to buy some softer tissues to get us over that hump.The other thing that surprised and bothered me about this product was the fact that each box is about half the size of an average tissue box. Remember I was buying these to be less wasteful, recycle, etc.I'm not a math person, but I can certainly see that this product uses up more packaging than the average tissue box and that seems entirely at odds with being a green product.So there you have it. I hate to bash a recycled product because we all need to do our bit/do better/kill fewer trees. But I won't be buying these tissues again (then again, with so many boxes, I won't be in the market, except during cold season for about 5 years!).

Pros
  • Safe
Cons
  • The boxes may not have a convenient opening or dispenser, making it difficult to pull out individual tissues
