Yes, but I'm 58. For the people saying they're nasty, you leave the house in the morning with a clean one. You use Kleenex when it's available and save the handkerchief for emergencies. As someone else said, other people end up using them or you end up using them for other things.

I had three or four of them for a former coworker's funeral and could have used more. Never got them back and never expected that I would. Wouldn't want them back.

You can buy four or five white cotton ones for about a $1.00 apiece. The ones that I do end up using are washed with tees and underwear. The only time I usually ever use one myself is just to wipe my nose, not to blow it. I put it back in my pocket with the unused side out.

I normally wash my whites once a week and throw them in even if I haven't used it. I just want to have a fresh one to carry. Most weeks I don't use it.

Girls do appreciate them, but moms and grandmothers are the folks that are really impressed by you having them.

I carry one sometimes. I have a box of them that were my grandfathers, all monogrammed with his initials. Dad said my grandfather had one with him at all times and would give them to anyone who needed one, so he had them monogrammed. When people would wash it or whatever they would see his initials and remember he gave it to them and use him for business.

My grandfather told me it was a good way for women to remember him as a gentleman lol

I carry them. I don't blow my nose in them but they're handy for a runny nose. Some women like the gentry aspect of it, especially living in the South.
