To use a tissue twice, maybe three times before chucking it?

Surely you sneeze, wipe, fold and use again? Was having this debate with OH yesterday who is of the one-sneeze-per-tissue camp.

Unless it was a particularly wet one you fold and use again! Right? Save the planet an' all that?

I do this also, hubby thinks its revolting. Especially if they fall out of my bra where I store them in between, and I leave a snot rag trail on the floor!

I would sneeze, blow, fold and blow again then throw.

I wouldn't use once, then store for later

I don't have to store it generally, I'm sneezing every thirty seconds with this rotten hayfever!

Yanbu.
Particularly if you use a decent "mansize" tissue.
My DH is also in the one blow camp.

I use one more than once (depending on how much comes out first sneeze, sorry tmi).

My hay fever is playing up terribly this year. I can't even stand on any type of grass without my eyes streaming and going in to a fit of sneezing.

My mum used to blow her nose/sneeze/whatever then screw it up and store it for later up her sleeve or in the pocket of her pinny.

At any one time she used to have a stockpile of half used snot-rags tucked away in various places. At the time nobody really though anything of it (this was a few years back).

Despite this slightly disturbing habit she wasn't often ill. Just thought I'd share!

I still use old fashioned cotton hankies and like them. Can't quite get on with paper ones.

TidyDancer · 12/07/2013 19:45

I reuse. I had no idea some people don't. How wasteful! I like to get the full use out of my snot rags!

CharlieCoCo · 12/07/2013 20:50

i reuse. i have even turned into my mother and store my charges tissues (im a nanny) up their sleeve for another use Blush My dad still uses a hankie, people reuse them so dont see the difference really (maybe someone will come along and tell me) Grin
