Tissues are a staple in every household whether it’s cold and flu season, hay fever or just your everyday sniffle. 

Our lab test covers all the tissues we could find in national retailers, plus a few more. Our results will tell you which tissues:

  • are the softest
  • are strong and can resist puncturing
  • absorb the most liquid
  • won’t tear easily when wet.

 

We’ve also partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.
