Scotties Tissues recently contacted me and asked if I would like to do a review and giveaway of their product. I naturally said yes, because I love giving away great products to my readers! 🙂
Ironically, the samples arrived just as I managed to get my first cold of the season–perfect timing!
Being the tightwad that I am, I rarely purchase tissues unless they are on sale and I have a coupon. We don’t have that many colds and when we do, we usually use good old toilet paper (gasp!). I have to say Scotties are much more comfortable and my nose really appreciated the switch.
Scotties Softest Tissues Ever tissues are hypoallergenic and are made without the use of inks or dyes, which I appreciate as a mom. I also found out that since 2009 Scotties has promised to plant 3 trees for every one it uses to make its Softest Ever Facial Tissue. Their promise is certified through the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), which is an independent, 3rd party certification program with non-profit charitable status. The SFI audits the health of forests according to 75 criteria that includes biodiversity, habitat protection, water quality, forest harvesting and forest management activities. You can learn more by visiting www.sfiprogram.org.
J.D. Irving, Limited (Scotties Tissue’s parent company) has over 20% of its forests dedicated as conservation habitats. Today they manage over 540 specific sites including the famous La Dune de Bouctouche and the Irving Nature Park, both located in New Brunswick, Canada. To learn more visit www.jdirving.com

They would last more than a year!
I have shared on FB, tweeted, and can say it would take about two weeks to use 16 boxes of tissues in my classroom…ALL the kids seem to have colds right now. At home we would survive for 6 months with 16 boxes. :). Thanks for the opportunity to have a happy nose! 🙂
16 boxes would last a few months here. I would probably send a couple boxes to my daughters classroom. Her teacher requests Scotties! Thanks for the chance.
I love Scotties and I need to win this! Please Please
Colds seem to have settled into our house for awhile this winter, so we probably would use up 16 boxes in a couple of months…good thing we love scotties!
Based on the consumption here I believe it would take about6 weeks for my house to use up that kind of a stockpile.
I do follow you on FB (and am glad I do!)
Thanks Linda! 🙂
I married into a “tissue -needy” family. My husband sneezes twice in the a.m. & then needs to blow his nose frequently during the day. When my mother-in-law is visiting, we double the usage since her nose runs when she eats anything hot. My brother-in-law, not to be left out, sneezes & blows his nose every hour on the hour(or so it seems!) A box of tissue might last a day or two in our house. We should buy stock!
If things go as they have been this winter, we could finish them off in about 2 months:-)
I follow you on facebook
16 boxes of tissues would probably take about 10-12 months to go through!
I follow you on Tweeter, & tweeted about this 🙂
Right now it would take us about a month to 6 weeks to use up 16 boxes as hubby appears to have perforated something in his nasal cavity that he is waiting to see an ENT for…..normally it would take us about a year! 🙂
That doesn’t sound fun Kelly. 🙁
I follow you on fb
Just shared the contest on fb too. 🙂
I already follow u on fb (that’s how I know about this). 🙂 And…I have 2 little ones and of course you know, during cold season, it is quite easy to go through many, many boxes of tissues fast!!! So I could definitely use these! Pleeeaaaase! 🙂
Not very long, unfortunately. Darned allergies! Scotties is our tissue brand of choice, although we do also *gasp* use TP too. 🙂
I follow on Facebook Would take at least a year
It would take a couple months to go through all those, but when someone has a cold, you can go through a box in a few days.
I shared on FB.
It would take me about 3 months to go through 16 boxes.
I follow you on Facebook.
It would take a long time to use all those tissues 🙂 my kids are always needing extras at school!
Actually not very long. We seem to always have a little one with a runny nose.
I remember when I was little, my mom sent away for a Scotty stuffy, It was one of my favs til my dog decided he liked it too!
And remember, if you can’t use them all, the food bank accepts tissue and other personal items!
I’m going to say our family would use them in 4-6 months!
I follow on Facebook!
It would last me 2-3 months MAX!
I like you on FB
My children’s school needs these desperately. I would love to win:)
liked you on facebook a before today. following you on twitter. it would talk about 8 months for me and my hubby to use 16 boxes of tissue. My hubby uses a couple of boxes per month. He has sinus problems. I sure hope I win :} I also like scotties on facebook
It would take a year to go through that much tissue
It would take us probably a year….there’s only 3 of us, but when one of us gets a cold, ALL of us get a cold!!
I shared on fb about the giveaway, and I already like you on fb.
It would probably take about 8-10 months to go through that many boxes…I’ll check back and let you know if I happen to win them. 🙂
It would take my family of 2 at least 1 full year to go through that many tissues 🙂 I would love to win!
I like you on FB.
This time of year and through the spring, it will not take long to go through all the tissues, probably until June when pollen season settles down! I have to keep tissues everywhere in the spring… car, around the house, work… not fun! : )
We rarely get sick, but use tissues for small wipe ups and other misc things, si I think it would take our family of four about four months.
Already a FB fan/follower and get emails too!
Under “normal” circumstances, our house could manage 16 boxes to be gone in 16 months, but after this weekend and this silly weather fluctuation, 16 boxes wouldn’t stand a chance past 4 months :*( ..”sniff”..
It would take me about 8 months to a year to go through those by my self. I use a lot of tissue lol.

Depending on how fast I can get to my toddler as she is pulling tissues out of the box and throwing them into the toilet, it would likely take less than a year to use 16 boxes of tissues.
It’d take us 9 or 10 months to go through all 16 boxes, maybe less, depending on how many allergy attacks we have, colds we catch, etc.
I shared the giveaway on Facebook. 🙂
My daughter, I’m becoming increasingly convinced, is related to “Curious George.” How long they would last definitely depends on how often “Hurricane Joanna” needed to figure out whether or not they’d keep popping up if she kept pulling them out!
hahaha Melissa!
I think it would take us about 6-9 months to go through 16 boxes of tissues!

Shared this for my friends! 🙂
16 days! lol…feels like it anyway, but maybe that’s just because I have a toddler who’s obssessed with emptying tissue boxes into the toilet, trash, or where ever he can! Shared it on Facebook, too!
I am thinking it would last us about 6-8 months.
That is an easy answer it would take 16 weeks. My husband goes though one a week.
I posted on facebook and twitter.
It would take my 2 yr old about 3 minutes to empty out those 16 boxes of tissue!!! 🙂
haha Nikki!
I “like” you and follow you on Facebook, although I don’t do Twitter. We used to use Scotties, but haven’t tried them for quite a while. The new soft ones sound interesting, and I would like to try them. I “shared” on Facebook.
I have already liked you on facebook!
I’m guessing 2 months in winter and 4 months other times of the year. That is a lot of tissues!
At least a year to go through that many boxes of tissue.
It only took two days to go through 3 boxes with 3 of the 5 in our family down with the worst cold ever! More of a cross between cold and flu? Let see, at that rate, we’s be out in 6 days! Lol!!
4 months?
I tweeted.
I’d say probably within 5 months.

It would take three months for us to go thru 16 boxes because we have cold all the time

Considering everyone in my family is sick. I’d say about a couple of weeks, if not sooner! Also would take some in my purse when I go out with my little one in case of any little accidents. “Like” you on Facebook as well! Good luck everyone!
My family also uses tissue paper for the occasional stuff. But tissues are nice when you’ve got a cold, sinus infection, or during the upcoming allergy season. During allergy season, my family probably goes through a box of tissues a week!

I think it would take about 4 months to go through those tissues. There are 5 of us here.
It does not take too long in my house to go through 16 boxes. A family of 6 goes through tissues pretty fast– taking some to school, in your purse, etc.
I follow you on facebook!
i also follow you on facebook. don’t do twitter:)
several months if not close to a year. also would depend on how often one of would get a cold or have an allergy attack.
