facial tissue
Soft disposable square
Facial tissue is a soft, disposable paper product used for blowing the nose, wiping the face, or cleaning up small messes.
The term distinguishes these thin, gentle sheets from bathroom tissue or paper towels.
Kleenex dominates the category to the point that many people use that brand name generically: Could you hand me a Kleenex?
