I threatened to physically beat my husband once (in all seriousness) when he came home with regular, cheapy, economy tissues during a particularly nasty bout with a bug.
What are Puffs (southern African person here...!)? I use those baby wipes when I have a drippy nose. We also have things here called 'Wet Wipes' (imaginative, I know) which are meant to be used to clean your hands when you can't get to a basin i.e. in the car. They. Rock.
TLB: Puffs are a brand name of an excessively soft and thick tissue. They are also made with skin lotion right in them, so when you have to blow your nose every five seconds (hi!), you don't rip the skin off your nose and upper lip. It's very luxurious.
OMG yes! When I first saw these advertised on TV back when, I thought, "What won't they come up with to lure in idiots with too much money Puh-leeeze," I said. Then one day I got a really bad cold and after a couple of days my nose was so raw that I looked for blood each time I wiped or blew. REALLY sore. In desperation I bought what formerly I had derided. In hours, though the cold continued unabated, my nose was its lovely self again. Nose heaven. I swear by Puffs Plus. At the first sign of a cold, I get them before I get the drugs. And usually nothing comes before the drugs...

He's never made the same mistake since.
Can't live without Puffs Plus. And, yes, Bonnie, I've made the same mistake!
I keep a box hidden in the cabinet behind my desk so the students don'w use it; it's just for me.

Wet wipes/baby wipes also work-in a pinch :)
