Kleenex: The American Tissues That Changed the World
Kleenex is the name of a range of various paper-based products. These include facial tissues, toilet paper, paper towels, tampons, and diapers. They are so popular in the US that the name is often used to refer to any kind of tissue. Kleenex paper is considered the highest quality — it absorbs dirt and moisture better than the rest. Kleenex products are manufactured in 30 countries and sold in more than 170, but the ones considered most worthy are those produced in the US for the American market.

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 the idea of making the Kotex product from it, designed to help girls during menstruation. The first Kleenex paper tissues appeared in 1924 — they were advertised as a means to remove excess cream from the face. It was a convenient disposable replacement for towels. In 1925, the first Kleenex tissue advertisement appeared in American magazines, showing a “new secret to maintaining beautiful skin used by famous movie stars” (at that time — still silent films).
In the 1930s, the company began offering its tissues as handkerchiefs — for people with allergies or seasonal flu. Over time, this became one of the main uses for the brand's products. Kleenex soap also appeared for hand cleaning and Kleenex cloths for keeping the house in proper condition. 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's made by another brand (as happened in Russia with Keds and Xerox). 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’s hard to find it on sale. Due to the coronavirus, paper Kleenex are almost not sold—they’ve all been bought up, and they’re considered an excellent means for wiping hands. But this product can be taken at a good price in America. For example, bundled with a more substantial purchase. Kleenex tissues, paper, and towels are sold at good prices on:
- Amazon — not a very large selection, but quite an affordable price, plus free delivery to the Pochtoy.com warehouse in the USA. You can buy Kleenex in addition to your main order, and you won’t have to pay anything extra even for delivery to Russia. Very convenient and profitable.
- Kleenex.com — the official company website. Here you can find EVERYTHING! A huge number of different wet wipes, toilet paper, soap, and paper towels from Kleenex. At the same time, the site itself does not sell products; it merely redirects you to stores where they are in stock (such as Amazon or Walmart). Still, it turns out to be quite convenient to use 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. But 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 you definitely have to go into the supermarket to pick up the item (and if you live in Russia, you obviously won’t be able to do that). You need to choose one of the options that have Free Delivery or 2-day delivery. In that case, Kleenex products can be directed to the Pochtoy.com warehouse. Again, it’s much more profitable if you take them in addition to some of your other purchases on Walmart.
