This puzzles me............?

I thought tissues should not be put down the loo, wrong type of paper, not same as loo paper.
I wait to be corrected.

You are right Calendargirl. Toilet roll is designed to dissolve when wet.
Not good for drippy noses!!

dragonfly46 toilet paper doesn't dissolve instantly, or we'd all be having a very unpleasant time.
It can easily be used for nose wiping.

Toilet paper is too rough for my nose so I always use tissues and bin them, they hold together much better when wet than loo paper rather than disintegrate. They can get caught on cracks in the pipes and lead to blockages. So binning your tissues is better.

In the bin dannieRae and don’t be passing your cold onto me ?

Yes in the bin DanniRae you don't want a blocked lavatory to add to your woes.
Hope you feel better soon.

I use nappy liners when I have a cold, they’re soft, absorbent and stay in one piece if accidentally washed!!
Never flush anything but loo roll.

I find proper hankies softer than tissues and have no problem about putting them through the wash. If I use tissues, they go in the bin. If for any reason I have to put anything but loo paper down the loo I try to tear it up so that it will at least disintegrate more quickly.

Surely tissues must disintegrate eventually. Can't see any harm in putting them down the lav. Perhaps not a whole bagful at once though.

My nose thinks hankies are softer than tissues too.

Mine all go in the compost heap.
Flush them and you block up the sewerage system, bin them and they go to landfill.
Mine end up as part of a glorious home made fertiliser and soil conditioner much loved by worms.

Hankies for me too. I’m allergic to the ‘soft’ tissues. Mr C uses them, they go in the bin.

In the bin every time!
Get well soon Danni ?

Definitely in the bin. Some tissues appear to be softer than others.

So many of you have nasty coughs and colds I may stay indoors until May. Morrisons and Amazon will sort me out.

Thank you so much for all of you that have sent me Good Wishes. My nose is a little less drippy but I have chills going on at the moment. I had to cancel all I was planning to do today and have relaxed in the living room - but I am grateful that I can do that!
Thanks again for kind words x

I'm the dissenting voice.

The loo paper I use is infinitely softer than the tissues beside my computer, used for a multitude of reasons, including my morning sneezes.

I put all mine in a paper bag and add them to the recycling.

BradfordLass in the UK loo/tissue paper is not suitable for recycling, and certainly not when it's soiled!

Sorry forgot to add, it's something to do with such paper being made of short fibres so can't stand up to the recycling process

When I have a cold I keep a plastic bag with me and put my tissues in there, tie the bag at the end of the day and put in bin. Just putting in the bin surely the germs will be free to spread.

As others have said don’t put the down the loo. I use a little disposable bag I put my Tena Lady in when I have a cold. Nappy sacks are just as good

In the wood burner for me!

Bradford Lass - put tissues out for recycling? I assume that you reckon whatever bugs have been caught on them will no longer be live?
How nice for the workers at your local recycling centre to be confronted with a load of either crusty tissues or ones full of snot !
Bin them !

I think hankies are much kinder to your nose when it is sore

Definitely the bin for tissues.
