Hello Readers,
Spring in coming and with that comes allergies. So for my first on Seeking Alternatives, I will be reviewing the popular Tissue pack brand, Kleenex and comparing it to its biggest competitor, Puffs, and the underdog, Coghlan’s.
Kimberly-clark Corp 11975 Kleenex White Facial Tissue (Pack of 16):
Price: $7:10 ($0.44 each)
Quantity per pack: 10 sheets
Softness: 3-Ply
SA Rating: 5/10
Decent product with a decent price, however, this is not the more cost effective product as $0.44 per pack.
Kleenex Facial Tissues, On-The-Go Pack (Pack of 8)
Price: $2.29 ($0.29 each)
Quantity per pack: 10 Sheets
Softness: 3-Ply
SA Rating:7/10
Decent product but great value! This is the most cost effective product offered by Kleenex for the quantity. Perfect for any one person, best value if not planning on sharing.
Kleenex Slim Pack Facial Tissue (Pack of 12)
Price: $11.81 ($0.98 each)
Quantity per pack: 10 Sheets
Softness: 3-Ply
SA Rating: 2/10
Compared to the other products offered by Kleenex, the Slim pack is the least cost effective. Sitting at $0.98 per pack with no extra features makes this specific product too expensive to justify for its small packaging. Avoid unless space is of importance.
Puffs Plus Lotion Facial Tissues, (Pack of 10)
Price: $8.99 ($0.89 each)
Quantity per pack: 10 Sheets
Softness: 2-Ply
SA Rating: 6/10
Great product at a decent price for its benefits. Much softer than Kleenex and offers soothing properties. I would recommend this product for anyone who has allergies or is feeling under the weather. Will help reduce dryness and redness associated with high tissue usage. Even greater value for kids and adults who have sensitive skin.
Coghlan’s Tissue On The Go (Pack of 2)
Price: $6.32 ($3.16 each)
Quantity per pack: 65 Sheets
Softness: 2-Ply
SA Rating: 5/10
Unique product since it is very compact and packaged like a roll of toilet paper. I would not recommend getting this product for everyday use since its price is rather high for the benefits its offers. However, for anyone who is traveling, consider investing in this product. It will help save space because of its compact size and will not require you to replace it often because of its high sheet count per package.
Reflection: The best product from this review for everyday use is the “Kleenex Facial Tissues, On-The-Go Pack (Pack of 8),” based on its price. It is super affordable, soft and gets the job done. Also, unless you are someone who uses a lot of tissues, the 8 pack can last about a month which is a great investment considering it will only cost you $2.29. However, if you have severe allergies, consider splurging a little on the “Puffs Plus Lotion Facial Tissues, (Pack of 10).” Your nose will thank you.
