Introduction Most people really don’t think too much about facial tissue, it’s just one of those things that you reach for when you need one. Besides family and friends, the only other thing that has been there for you through all of life’s ups and downs, in sickness and in health, is a tissue.  Kleenex [From the ToiletPaperWorld.com encyclopedia of Toilet Paper]
When someone asks you if you have any Kleenex you know instantly that they are asking for facial tissues. Kleenex brand facial tissue were the first tissue introduced to the public in the 1920’s and since then the word Kleenex has become synonymous with all facial tissues regardless of brand. 1915: Kimberly Clark begins producing absorbent cellulose wadding called Cellucotton. This is to be used as a bandage material in WW1 and army nurses begin adapting this material for menstrual use. 1918: Kimberly Clark prepares to sell Cellucotton for use in WW I, but the war ends. The project later leads to the development of Kleenex. 1920: KC forms the company Cellucotton Products to market Kotex sanitary napkins. The KC Company owners are afraid to associate with this ‘unmentionable’ product. 1924: Kleenex is introduced by Cellucotton and first marketed to women as a disposable towel to use when removing cold cream. Cold cream was commonly used to protect their skin while riding in the open convertibles. Most of the six million autos were open touring cars. Because Kotex had a slow start, they had excess capacity in the Kotex facility and needed to find a use for the Kotex product. The project leader took the heavy creped Kotex material and ‘ironed’ it to become soft, flat and smooth. 1930: One of the head researchers at Kimberly Clark started using Kleenex instead of a handkerchief to relieve his hay fever symptoms. The idea took off. The marketing changed to be ‘a disposable handkerchief’ instead of a cold cream remover and now Kleenex is the best-selling brand of facial tissue on the market.
