Review on Organic Eco-Friendly Handkerchief for the Perfect Sustainable Touch by Joshua Mccall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm really into her. To update! Months later.

So I just started using cloth handkerchiefs as a possible solution to the billions of handkerchiefs we go through in our house with 2.5 people (lots of allergies). I bought these as well as several different bamboo flannel napkins to try. These handkerchiefs for men are my favorite. They are very soft and gentle, and their size is suitable for cases of severe sneezing. They also don't pick up lint like flannel. One problem that can really bother others is that they wrinkle a lot when washed. That is irrelevant to me. I'm not trying to impress anyone. I wish they didn't have fancy trim around the edges. It only hinders me. But it's still a good choice if you're looking for exactly what I was looking for. Oh it would be great if they were affordable enough to buy a lot because using cloth handkerchiefs means a lot of laundry. Update 5/17: I've been using them exclusively for my dailies for a few months now - seriously, dailys! - Allergy attacks. (Sneezing, lots of nose blowing. I don't know why I was recently cursed with this disease). I just bought more of these because I've been washing less recently and I'm out of clean ones. I grabbed some paper napkins during my sneezing fit and, wow! They were like sandpaper to me (they were good napkins, ultra soft puffs. I wouldn't buy any less). I was totally spoiled with bamboo handkerchiefs. I am broke. I know they don't feel as soft as many bamboo fabrics. I have a lot of bamboo t-shirts. I consider myself an expert. But I'm so surprised by all the reviews about how not soft they are. I don't think it's linen. I once refused to sleep on a bed with linen sheets because they were too rough (Oh yeah. I have bamboo sheets too). Maybe they've softened after many washes, but I wash them like I do everything else - unscented detergent and wool drying balls in the dryer. No fabric softener. Anyway, I still love them, of course, I don't need the folds anyway, and I could do without the decorative edges. I want all the soft, smooth finish I can get.

Pros
