I was excited to try these new tissues. I opened the package, took one out, blew my nose and was left with a wet hand. I have a number of cheap tissues that I use without this problem. I also compared them by holding them up to the light and they give off a huge amount of light. For me there are two bright spots, so they get 2 stars instead of 1:1. They look beautiful.2. I use them in the form of reusable disinfecting wipes. So if you don't blow your nose with your tissue, it might be decent. Otherwise pass it on. If you're wondering which ones I've used and found effective, these are HOULIFE handkerchiefs. Patterned variety. Definitely not the best in the world but way better than this. I should have known the price was too good to be true.
