• "It does its job and is good for the environment. It's strong and absorbent enough to do the job, but soft enough not to irritate your nose."

Eco-Friendliness

Pros:

• "It's strong enough to hold together and good for environment."
• "They are better for the Planet - that includes us all."
• "Saving trees is becoming ever more important with global warming paired with rainforest destruction, and here is a tissue that saves trees."

Cons:

• "In my attempt to have less of impact on the environment I purchased these. I was sadly disappointed. They are scratchy stiff and very over priced."
• "Have gone through a couple of boxes now, and am satisfied with the performance of the tissues. My concern is that this formulation may be less environmentally friendly than a grass-based product that is no longer available."
• "They are packaged in a lot of plastic and they have added a plastic cover inside the tissue box where the tissue comes out - a net loss for the environment."
• "These tissues may save some trees if they are indeed made of bamboos and sugarcanes but the fact that they have to be shipped 10000 miles from China make them environmentally unfriendly."
• "I still have yet to find an eco-friendly tissue that is soft and feels good on the nose."
• "I wanted to like these, but I seem to be allergic to something in them. The edges of my nose became raw, crusty and sore and I broke out around my nose."
• "They have so many jammed into the box that it have to pry 1 tissue out so it doesn't rip. It is like actual tissue paper, super stiff, not soft at all and very thin."

Strength and Durability

Pros:

• "These tissues are exceptionally strong."
• "These tissues are strong, well packed, and come 90 to a box."
• "These products are not ordinary; they give you what you need from them AND they are super good, by comparison, for the environment."
• "Packaging is artful and tissues are rugged, not tearing easily."
• "Unlike most brands, many of which seem to dissolve in your hands upon use, these tissues are tough enough to not only serve for familiar tissue uses but also work well on jobs for which dinner napkins and paper towels are customarily a less convenient choice."
• "They hold up remarkably well as I use them for eye drops I have to use daily."
• "The tissues are strong. They don't fall apart after a sneeze."

Cons:

• "They also rip very easily, not quite as absorbent as I would expect bamboo to be."
• "They have so many jammed into the box that it have to pry 1 tissue out so it doesn't rip."
• "They tear very easily. I have to pull the tissues from the box gingerly."
• "These tissues practically dissolve at the slightest hint of moisture."
• "They're rough, really hard on the nose and they are weak."
• "Even with the gentlest blow, they shred completely - literally blow a huge hole."
• "These are really rough on my skin."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "These products are competitively priced, absorbent and soft enough."
• "Comes in a pack of 6 which will last my family for about 3 months. Priced fairly too."
• "These are great tissues to use. They are strong, absorbent and excellent value for money."
• "I like that it's made from bamboo. I use it for blowing my nose."
• "They pack more in a box than most companies do so take that into consideration if you are pricing by the box."
• "I liked the fact that there were more per box than what can normally be found."
• "I am VERY MUCH against using trees for any purpose that can be filled by using something else, so I'm happy to be able to 'sacrifice' cottony-softness except for the rare times when that level of softness is absolutely necessary."

Cons:

• "This is a horrible product. It is rough, stiff and has a strong smell."
• "Very disappointed in this product."
• "The reason I’m giving this two Stars is because it’s wildly overpriced for what it is."
• "Very expensive for the amount in each box."
• "A bit overpriced but not bad compared to other brands that are more expensive and less eco friendly and made up of maybe some bad materials."
• "This product is good, but so expensive."
• "Can't justify the price either when you only get one box."
