Kleenex: American tissues that changed the world
Kleenex is the name of a range of various paper-based products. Including facial tissues, toilet paper, paper towels, tampons, and diapers. In the US, they are so popular that the name is often used for any tissues. Kleenex paper is considered the highest quality; it absorbs dirt and moisture better than others. Kleenex brand products are made in 30 countries and sold in more than 170 countries, but those produced in the USA for the American market are considered the most worthy.

The history of Kleenex tissues
Kleenex production began during World War I. The company developed crepe paper, which became popular as a filter for gas masks. In the early 1920s, they came up with making the Kotex product from it, intended to help girls during menstruation. The first Kleenex paper tissues appeared in 1924 — they were advertised as a way to remove excess cream from the face. It was a convenient disposable substitute for towels. In 1925, the first advertisement for Kleenex tissues appeared in American magazines, showing “the new secret to preserving beautiful skin used by famous movie stars” (at that time — still silent films).
In the 1930s, the company began offering its tissues as handkerchiefs — if people had allergies or seasonal flu. Over time, this became one of the main uses for the brand’s products. Kleenex soap for cleaning hands and Kleenex cloths for keeping the home in proper condition also appeared. Finally, in 1954, Kleenex toilet paper was released, and the product became a universal option in America for cleaning anything. Now Americans use the word kleenex to refer to any facial tissue, even if it is made by another brand (like what happened in Russia with sneakers and Xerox machines). This is now recognized even by many dictionaries, including Oxford and Merriam-Webster.
Where to buy original Kleenex in the USA?
In Russia, the brand is expensive, and it is hard to find on sale. Paper Kleenex is almost not sold because of the coronavirus, it has all been bought up, and it is considered an excellent product for wiping hands. But this product can be bought выгодно in America. For example, together with a more substantial purchase. Kleenex tissues, paper, and towels are sold выгодно at:
- Amazon — not a very large selection, but quite an inexpensive price, plus free delivery to the Pochtoy.com warehouse in the USA. You can buy Kleenex as an addition to your main order, and you will not even have to pay anything extra for delivery to Russia. Very convenient and выгодно.
- Kleenex.com — the company's official website. You can find EVERYTHING here! A huge number of different wet wipes, toilet paper, soap, and Kleenex paper towels. At the same time, the website itself does not sell the products, it only redirects you to the stores where they are in stock (the same Amazon or Walmart). Still, it turns out to be quite convenient to use it as a search tool.
- Walmart — the main offline supermarket in America, which will soon (as it promises) be able to overtake Amazon online as well. Well, for us the main thing is that here you can buy Kleenex tissues at a super-low price (from $4,48 for 3 packs, 330 tissues). Just keep in mind that Pickup Only means that you will definitely have to go to the supermarket to pick up the item (and if you live in Russia, obviously, you will not be able to do that). You need to choose one of the options where there is Free Delivery or 2-day delivery. In that case, Kleenex products can be sent to the Pochtoy.com warehouse. Again, it is much more выгодно if you take them in addition to some of your other purchases at Walmart.
