paper handkerchief refers to a class of soft, absorbent, disposable
papers that are suitable for use on the
face. They are disposable alternatives for cloth
handkerchiefs. The terms are commonly used to refer to the type of
paper tissue, usually sold in boxes, that is designed to facilitate the expulsion of
nasal mucus from the
nose (
nose-blowing) although it may refer to other types of facial tissues including napkins and wipes.
