You&#8217;re sticking a body part in something that&#8217;s wet and has been used by many other people during the past two hours.<\/p>\n<p>While I&#8217;m willing to break the five-second rule when it comes to food that I&#8217;ve dropped onto the floor and I may let the party host&#8217;s dog make out with me instead of using a napkin, I won&#8217;t use a hand towel at a party.  I don&#8217;t mean to go all Dateline NBC on you, but a hand towel at a party is also a party&#8230;for germs.  <\/p>\n<p>Usually, if I need to dry my hands, I&#8217;ll either walk through the house like a doctor prepped for surgery to get a napkin or paper towel or I&#8217;ll shake my hands vigorously as if I&#8217;m a puppeteer making his puppets dance to death metal.<\/p>\n<p>However, when the next dinner party rolls around, I may just bring a box of Kleenex Hand Towels with me.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever been sick or you&#8217;re a male who has masturbated, you&#8217;re probably very familiar with the Kleenex brand.  But, you might not know they make more than that, unless you have the Kleenex website in your web browser&#8217;s bookmarks to keep up to date with the latest in booger trapping technology.  <\/p>\n<p>The Kleenex Hand Towels are individual paper towels that come out of a box and work the same as all Kleenex boxes &#8212; pull one out and the next one is ready for another person.  If inks, dyes and fragrances bother you, your sensitive skin won&#8217;t have to worry about any of that with the Kleenex Hand Towels.  The 9.1 inch square towels are small when compared with other paper towels, but they&#8217;re softer than the stuff you find in a public restroom, and they&#8217;re more absorbent. Unlike most public restroom paper towels, I needed only one Kleenex Hand Towel to dry my hands.  <\/p>\n<p>Sure, it&#8217;s just paper towels from a box and a roll of paper towels is significantly cheaper, but have you ever tried tearing off a sheet from a paper towel roll with two wet hands, trying not to get any other sheets wet.  I don&#8217;t know about you, but when I try it, I look like I&#8217;m attempting to bring back a dance from the 1990s.  I think the convenience and ease of use are worth a little extra scratch for your guests.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/5110028906\/\" title=\"Kleenex Hand Towels In Use by theimpulsivebuy, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm2.static.flickr.com\/1178\/5110028906_b3d5f451d8.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Kleenex Hand Towels In Use\"\/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>While the Kleenex Hand Towels are soft and absorbent, the box they come in is a little more impressive.   The shape of the box allows you to place it on top of a towel rack, creating a convenient dispenser in case you don&#8217;t have much room on your bathroom countertop due to a prescription drug addiction or a toothpaste variety addiction.<\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> Kleenex Hand Towels<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b> $2.99<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 60 towels<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Target<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Very absorbent.  More hygienic than a communal hand towel.  Great for having in the bathroom at parties.  Convenient box that can be placed on a towel rack to save counter space, but not towel rack space.  Ink, dye and fragrance-free.  Softer than paper towels found in a public restroom.<br \/>\n<b>Cons:<\/b> Might be pricey for some.  Smaller than most paper towels.  A communal hand towel being like a gangbang.  Dances from the 1990s.  Breaking the five-second rule.  Making out with a dog instead of using a napkin.  Prescription drug addictions.
