Choose pocket tissues for commuting and travel

Protect tissues inside your bag

Check whether each pack reseals, whether opening it requires removing a wrapper and how easily one tissue can be taken out. A larger bundle is less useful if the individual packs fall open in a bag.

Keep unused supplies clean

Keep tissues away from leaking liquids and dirty items. A flattened or wet packet should not be treated as a clean reserve. Put used tissues in a bin; do not flush them when traveling or assume unfamiliar plumbing will handle them.

Buy to your observed routine

Count how often you replace packets over a normal commuting week. Use that observation to choose a replenishment quantity instead of buying a large case simply because the outer pack looks economical.

Before you decide

• Compare total tissues across all packets.
• Check whether each opening reseals.
• Use a waste bin rather than flushing tissues.
