miniTissue

2008-01-16-minitissue.jpg

For the minimalist parent who doesn't want to carry any more than he/she has to, consider the miniTissue. Check out the picture - it's slightly larger than a tack when new. When you need it, add water and miniTissue grows to its full-size (8.6" x 9.8").

miniTissues are hydraulically compressed and do not contain any preservatives, alcohol or anti-bacterial solution. It's all natural and biodegradable.

 
 

We love the small packaging idea. You can stash a handful in your purse, diaper bag, glove compartment or your pocket and be ready for any wiping emergency your little one might have.

We haven't tried miniTissues yet and just wonder whether they are as soft and durable as we hope. Anyone have any first hand experience?

looks like a waste of packaging and who has the time to add water and watch it grow before using it?

I don't get it. Then I'd have to use a wet tissue? Eww.

I love it. The packaging is so small, that you can keep it in your purse/pocket and toss it on the recycling pile later.

Sometimes you need a wash cloth to wipe grubby hands and sticky faces. A splash from the water bottle on this gives you a nice WetNap-ish tissue. I am a freak when it comes to my hands, and this would be nice to have when I can't get to a sink. I'm really going to be wanting some of these at Disneyland this weekend.

And I need to let this be known. Blowing your nose with a damp tissue is heavinly when your nose in on fire from the dry air/head cold/repeated wipings. I know from experience.

I like this idea - I would use them, just in cases of emergency. Where can these be purchased?

I had to buy these after I read this post and I will say I was pretty impressed. My husband teased me that they were like sea monkeys ... but we were both surprised. I think they will be great in my diaper bag.
