We've been asked by Kleenex Balsam to find 65 Mumsnetters to try their most soothing range of tissues and to add feedback on Mumsnet. This product test is aimed at MNers who would like to try the tissues with themselves and/or any member of the family and who:

~ Are in the UK

~ (who normally buy tissues) but who don't buy Kleenex Balsam and
~ who also have a runny nose, cold or sniffle (could be any member of the family)

The Kleenex team say their range of Balsam tissues "contains a protective balm with Calendula to help soothe your nose and prevent your skin from drying out. Balsam Fresh tissues have a touch of menthol to also help ease breathing, ideal for the cold and flu season".

For more info see here

If you are selected to take part in the product test you will be sent one of each of the following:

~ Balsam tissues in regular, man-size and pocket pack formats
~ Balsam Fresh tissue in regular & pocket pack formats
~ Kleenex Balsam Nose and Lip Balm

You'll be asked to try the products with your family and then to add your feedback to a thread on Mumsnet. Everyone who takes part and who adds their feedback will be entered into a prize draw to win John Lewis vouchers - there will be one prize of £150 and two runners up will get £50 each.

The Kleenex team are very interested in which your favourite products from the range were and how you and your family used them.

Before you sign up, please note Kleenex may well use quotes from the feedback on the Kleenex hub on Mumsnet - along with your MN name E.g. AnnMumsnet said "xxx"

If Kleenex want to use one of your comments anywhere other than on the Kleenex MN pages (for example, in press ads, on the Kleenex website and Facebook pages) they will also want to include your name and location (e.g. Sally of Norwich said "xxx"). If your comment is selected, we will contact you beforehand to confirm these details and for your permission, and you can decline if you wish. The Kleenex team may also want testers to act as case studies and again if so, you will be contacted by Mumsnet.

If you'd like to take part please sign up here

Those selected will be notified by email and products will be sent out via Royal Mail.

Best of luck, MNHQ

Done! Sounds just the thing for my cracked nose/upper lip.

Sniff.

Meltysnowflakes · 11/01/2012 23:51

babyicebean · 11/01/2012 23:56

I have a sniffy hubby and a couple of drippy kids.

Done!

QED · 12/01/2012 07:29

Have filled in survey :)

dawntigga · 12/01/2012 07:43

After 9 weeks of cold after cold and chest infections I think I have used every brand out there but avoided the balsam ones in favor of shed loads of vaseline on my nose. In hindsight this may have been a mistake!

Theonewiththehair · 12/01/2012 08:07

Done. Hope it means the end of red, sore noses in my house. I think there's a competition going on over who's nose hurts most!.

PigeonStreet · 12/01/2012 09:03

Done
We could really do with a little nose care in this family after 2 months of constant sniffing.

DurhamDurham · 12/01/2012 10:04

No more red raw noses!!

Thanks. Looks like the mansize will get a bloody good testing at this rate....

ChippyMinton · 19/01/2012 20:35

Ann - will there be a separate feedback thread?

The balsam fresh is strong!

TheNewandImprovedMrsHollywood · 20/01/2012 10:08

Tissues arrived this morning! Everyone in our house has a cold, so there'll be plenty of opportunity for testing!

goingtoofast · 20/01/2012 11:32

Mine arrived yesterday, the packaged smelled lovely when I opened it!

nickelhasababy · 20/01/2012 11:41

:( I'm upset I didn't get chosen.
I have got a cold now, and my nose is sore from having to use rough, normal tissues. :(
