The Evolution of Tissue Products: From Luxury to Everyday Essential

It’s kind of funny to think about, but there was a time when tissue paper wasn’t a household must-have. Way back in the early 1900s, tissues were actually seen as a fancy thing—used mostly by the upper class, often for things like removing makeup or as an alternative to handkerchiefs. They weren’t something everyone had lying around.

Fast forward a few decades, and that started to change. As production became cheaper and public awareness about hygiene grew, tissues slowly worked their way into everyday life. People realized they were convenient, clean, and easy to use—and they stuck.

Now? Tissues are just… everywhere. In your car, your bathroom, your bag. We use them without thinking twice. What once felt like a luxury has become a small, quiet part of our daily routines.

And it’s not just about convenience anymore. These days, people care about softness, sustainability, even how tissues are packaged. Brands are stepping up to meet those expectations.

Funny how something so simple can change so much over time.
