cjblo Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Must have been about four years old, stole one from my dad's drawer and pretended to be him. Sure I liked it, already new it was a bit odd to like it.You? Link to comment
Joal 555 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Good questionMy first memory of doing so would be somewhere between the age of 9 and 13 based on what school I was at.But my Dad was a stickler for not sniffling too much so it was probably younger than that in reality Link to comment
Hankies106 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I remember being about 5 years old when my grandmother gave me my first hanky. I'm pretty sure I knew what it was for, but it was just so small and dainty, I didn't want to get it dirty. As I got older, my collection grew, and I got some more durable ladies hankies. One in particular was a super soft, thick cotton hanky with pink tatting lace around the border. I must have been like 10 and had a runny nose. I started to softly blow my nose into the hanky and it was just incredibly soft. I dabbed my nose and remember being a little sad that I got my hanky wet. I think I tried another hanky after that too, but was always so scared I would get them dirty! One day I found a pile of my grandfather's old handkerchiefs in my grandparent's basement. They were plain white, but more of a light cream color from aging in a drawer. The material was thin cotton and soft as silk. My nose was stuffy from the dusty basement. I chose one, lifted it to my nose, and blew as hard as I could. It was amazing. I folded up the wet spot, and blew hard again. It felt kind of naughty, but I loved the feeling. I still have all of those handkerchiefs and still get that naughty, excited feeling when I use them. Link to comment

Ciel Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 When I was 6 or so, my mom made me bring a small white cotton handkerchief to school every day. I had bad allergies (and still do ).I didn't like it then, probably because of my severe mental block in doing so. (I would not sneeze, sniffle or blow my nose in front of family or strangers, EVER. And I still, up to this day, avoid doing it near my family members. But I don't feel so awkward doing it in school now. ) Link to comment
