Organic Handkerchiefs Co, Flannel Hankies, Mens, Unbleached, 8 inch Pack of 3

I have a child with allergies and eczema. His skin is easily irritated, and he ends up with painful, inflamed skin around his nose and upper lip every winter. Since I fare better using cloth vs. disposable paper/plastic products against my own sensitive skin, I decided to try handkerchiefs for him this year.I ordered two products from this company, these, and the  Childs' Organic Cotton Handkerchiefs, Small 8"x8", White (Set of 3) . For a busy little boy, I figured it was safer to have at least a handful of hankies if I wanted him to get in the habit of reaching for them.Personally, I find the flannel hankies softer and more enticing than the smooth cotton (percale? sateen?) of these. My son, on the other hand, immediately declared that he wanted to carry the smooth woven ones. He also wants to wear a suit and tuck one into his breast pocket, but he's a bit of a fancy dresser. I explained that a pocket square and a functional handkerchief should probably be separate items, especially for a little boy who wants to play in the snow/mud/sand, but he still reaches for the smooth hankies first. Clearly, it is a matter of personal preference which hankie should be applied to one's nose!As far as nose-wiping goes, a handkerchief works just as well as a tissue. That point is pretty well proven by history.Some people have hygiene objections to using cloth. I will point out that:1) Many people now, and almost all people until this past generation, used, washed and re-used cloth diapers, even before the advent of modern hot water heaters and automatic washing machines. If those can be hygienically cleaned, a hankie is child's play!2) The argument that sticking a used hankie in your pocket is revolting completely ignores that fact that, while a used tissue can (and should) be dropped immediately into a waste container, they are OFTEN stuffed into pockets when no trash can is conveniently located. As a mom, I end up with my kids' used tissues in my hands/car/pockets, not even just my own. (Ick!) My kids leave tissues in their pockets and I end up with white fuzz all over the laundry. Hankies are no less gross than this, and will solve the laundry issue.In particular, I ordered two little washable pouches (Bumkins Reusable Snack Bag, Traffic & Gray Chevron, 2-count) to use as hankie-holders in little boy pockets. In retrospect, I realized that I really want a two-compartment (but tiny!) pouch to have a clean side and a dirty side for daily carrying, but that is something I would likely make use of, while my kids would mix up the clean with the dirty anyway.3) Learning to wash one's hands frequently, especially before eating, will alleviate most of the gross pocket problem anyway. I don't expect my kids to avoid touching dirt/trees/bugs, because they won't learn and grow nearly so well without those experiences, so hand-washing is a must. Focusing on that leaves me free to save a tree and use a handkerchief. It is likely to be the least disgusting thing in my son's pocket on wash day...

My allergies have been getting worse every year. Upon reaching a point where I was using upward of five tissues a day, the only visible things in my trash can were used tissues, and my nose was red and peeling, I decided to find a better solution for both my nose and the environment. These handkerchiefs are perfect in their softness, size, and quantity. I keep one on my person, one at home, and one in my work bag (as back-up, in case I forget to grab one on my way out). At the end of the day, I briefly wash the one I was using with a mild hand soap and hang it to dry—they only need about 4-5 hours to dry completely. Then I throw them in with my laundry for a periodic extra clean.Now all I need to do is figure out why I can't stop sneezing and having a runny nose all the time.

Perfectly soft, wonderful, handkerchiefs. Clearly made with love and care. Beautifully hemmed and folded and wrapped. Lovely enough for a graceful gift to someone who would appreciate the quality and usefulness.I bought a wooden, Empty, tissue box with a sliding bottom that I hoped to fill with a BUNCH of washable handkerchiefs/cloths to replace all the high use tissues boxes around my home.I sampled a few different types of reusable handkerchiefs/cloths and these were the most expensive. But they were also the softest, best sewn, most easily washable and absorbable ones of all. They also have a great feel when using them. The best to replace plush Puffs Plus for those of use who have tender noses. They cost a bit to fill just one (high use area of the house) tissue box but it will pay for its self in 1 year of use. Totally worth it! I felt like 4 sets of these was the right amount and it fills it without being too full.I also bought several to replace wet wipes for my baby and they’re so soft and perfect for that too.I can’t recommend these enough! If you want to stop using single use products as much as possible, these are great! If you want a soft, casual, but totally hard working, handkerchief, these are amazingly great too.

I haven't written a review in a while but this product is exceeding my expectations and inspired me. I wanted a comfortable handkerchief to blow my nose, not a pocket square. I've noticed that all the white cotton stuff I get on Amazon like dish towels, linens, etc. usually has a chemical smell are obviously bleached to make it white. I have to wash things like that multiple times to get out the factory chemical smell. I have sensitive skin and can't stand perfumed products. I prefer hankies because the cost of tissues adds up and often irritates the skin below my nose. Also sometimes tissues leave little tiny leftovers on my face if I'm not clean-shaven.No annoying smells on these out of the box, exactly what I was looking for, everything about them is perfect. I was hesitant because of the price but it is the little things that often can improve life considerably, especially on a bad allergy day.

Lovely soft handkerchiefs have worked great. I love that they are organic and made in USA! These are a little thicker than regular cotton or bamboo, so I like the slightly smaller size, which allows them to fold up about the same overall size in a pocket or bag. Very discreet until you need them. The flannel is best for cold weather in my opinion, they still seem soft and warm even outside with a very cold nose, when the regular cotton ones will feel more cold and rough. I wash them in with a regular load, then throw them over the hanger rod next to my laundry area. I'm sure they would tumble dry fine, but this keeps the edges from curling as much, and they dry surprisingly fast for cotton. I am very happy I got these, and have ordered more.
