More Sanitary

Stop spreading germs with crumpled tissues

Most used tissues end up in pockets or on surfaces. HankyBook locks away germs between its covers — no more dirty hankies floating around your bag or spreading cold germs everywhere you go.

Stop throwing money in the trash

Paying for endless boxes of disposable tissues and wipes adds up fast. HankyBook pays for itself in a few months and lasts for years. One customer has a stack of 15-20 that she's been using for over a decade.

"I can't live without my Hanky Books. I have a nice stack of 15 or 20, and I don't go anywhere without them. Even though I've had a sinus infection the last couple of weeks, they have withstood the extra use, come clean, and helped keep my nose from getting sore."

Questions? We've got answers.

A HankyBook is a new kind of handkerchief — soft cotton hanky "pages" bound between a protective outer cover, like a small book. It's more sanitary than loose hankies, more portable than tissue boxes, and way gentler on your nose than paper tissues.

100% organic cotton, milled in the USA. The pages are ultra-soft and get even softer with each wash. No synthetic materials, no chemicals — just pure, gentle cotton.

Just toss them in the washing machine with your regular laundry. They dry quickly on a line or in the dryer. Customers report they come clean easily and hold up wash after wash.

Yes! They're designed to fit comfortably in pants pockets, purses, backpacks, and even small bags. The compact book format means they stay folded and clean until you need them.

Our customers think so — 4.78 stars across 215+ reviews. They're softer, more absorbent, don't leave lint, and won't irritate even the most sensitive skin. Plus you'll never run out at the worst moment.

Yes! Free shipping on all 3-set packs within the US. Single books ship for a flat rate.
