Product Name: Puffs Plus with Lotion

Product Information: As warmer weather will soon be here, Dr. Tanya Altmann, a pediatrician consultant for Puffs, has tips on how to prevent allergens from attacking.

Those tips include:

  • Minimize early outdoor playtime when pollen counts are highest and don’t play in freshly cut grass
  • Keep your car and home windows closed and teach kids to wash their hands and faces after playing outside
  • Teach your kids to blow their noses properly with Puffs Plus Lotion tissues since itchy, runny and stuffy noses are symptoms of allergies (tell them to blow as if they were blowing out a candle through their nose with their mouths closed…this visual definitely helps kids remember to blow gently which is key to the action)

Puffs makes a tissue for everyone!

  • Puffs Plus with Lotion is more soothing than the leading plain tissue and it transfers two times the moisturizers to your nose than the next leading lotion tissue.  How does it work?  It soothes with the magic of three: shea butter, aloe and vitamin E.
  • Puffs Plus with the Scent of Vicks is a powerful tissue with moisturizing lotion plus the comforting Scent of Vicks.  It’s a non-medicated, scented facial tissue that offers soothing and comforting care when you need it most.
  • Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong is two times stronger than the leading value tissues so they can stand up to your biggest sneezes!
  • Puffs Basic is an everyday tissue for life’s little blows!

When it comes to battling a runny nose, no other lotion tissue is used more by Pediatricians with kids at home than Puffs Plus Lotion!

Purchase Information: You can purchase them at mass retail and grocery stores.

My Thoughts: My 6 year old has a very hard time blowing her nose.  It’s a wonder she hasn’t suffered from ear aches yet since she rarely gets it all out!  So I tried the tip above about telling her to close her mouth and make believe she’s blowing out a candle with her nose and it really worked!  I have to remind her at times how to do it since she gets all worked up that she ‘can’t do it’ but it’s been extremely helpful.

I suspect they both have allergies as well.  The doctor says they are too young to tell and if they do have allergies they are mild as of now.  But because of this we have tissues everywhere in the house all year round.  And in the car too!

Because we go through so many tissues, I was excited to receive a box of Puffs Plus tissues and some Puffs Plus with a touch of Vicks as well for our review!  My 6 year old immediately took a box when I told her they have lotion in them.  She loves tissues with lotion and are the only ones she wants to use, due to the fact that her nose hurts from trying to learn how to blow it!

So what do we think about Puffs Plus with Lotion and Puffs Plus with a touch of Vicks?  Here is what we liked about them:

  • They are soft…. extremely soft!  You can totally tell there is some lotion in the tissue.
  • They are strong!  There is nothing worse than a tissue breaking up while in use…. that is just GROSS!
  • My kids love them and will use them!  Anything that makes doing something they don’t want to do, easier is good in my book!
  • The Puffs Plus with Vicks work really well when your congested.  They truly do help make my breathing easier.

What we didn’t like about them:

  • While I like how the Puffs Plus with Vicks do help clear my nasel passages, I hate that the smell lasts for a very long time.  But I guess that’s how they work so well!
