THE REFERENCE SHELF
Facial tissue
The tissue-box comparison that avoids count confusion
Compare tissues per box and total tissues per bundle. Ply is the number of layers in one tissue; a three-ply tissue is still one tissue in the package count.
Lotion tissues, plain tissues and fragrance: a label checklist
Start with your preference and the product ingredients. A lotion claim is not proof that a tissue will suit every user, and fragrance-free and unscented wording should be checked on the exact package.
Choose pocket tissues for commuting and travel
Choose a packet that protects unused tissues and fits the bag you actually carry. Compare the total tissue count rather than the number of small packets alone.
