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

My package as just arrived there seems to be such a lot of product. The fresh ones certainly smell fresh :)

Brambleschooks · 20/01/2012 16:13

Mine are here too. I've never been so excited about a runny nose!

smackapacca · 23/01/2012 19:29

I have mine too.

Kveta · 24/01/2012 10:03

got ours on friday, and DS and I promptly went down with a cold... were the tissues impregnated with cold virus, just to make sure we tested them properly?! :o anyway, look forward to adding feedback!

I was wondering that Kveta! We're all poorly here since getting ours Hmm

Where do we put the feedback MNHQ?

smackapacca · 25/01/2012 17:57

I used one for a very snotty DS nose today. Who'd like to know about that then?

AlmaMartyr · 25/01/2012 18:02

We all got a cold the day after the package arrived too [bhmm]

They do seem very soft :)

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 25/01/2012 18:39

I've discovered that LO doesn't like any tissues at all anywhere near his face. He does quite like the balm though Smile

PreHeatedOven · 26/01/2012 09:10

Does anyone know where we put the feedback yet?
Can anyone else not get into the balm?

MotherPanda · 26/01/2012 09:45

I got I'll the day after the package arrived too! Very suspicious...

MotherPanda · 26/01/2012 09:46

Ill, that is.

PreHeatedOven · 26/01/2012 09:49

So did I! I am still ill!

ProfCoxWouldGetIt · 26/01/2012 10:38

Any idea when the feedback thread will come up - I have to admit I like them so much, that with 3 runny noses in the house, we ran out and I bought more.

AnnMumsnet · 26/01/2012 12:55

feedback thread now live - thanks!
