BUYING household products in bulk is often a great way to save money, but one woman has revealed another reason why she's had to order bumper packs of Kleenex tissues.

Posting on the product's review section, the mum of three boys revealed she's had to resort to desperate measures, explaining "a woman has got to be practical".

"I want to start this off by thanking Kleenex for selling these in 36-packs," she wrote.

"I've put it on subscription, and if they want to start selling a 72-pack, sign me up. I have three reasons for needing this much Kleenex, and their names are Liam, Samuel and Hank.

"This is how it goes in this house. First the Kleenex disappears. Then the toilet paper. Then they go for fabrics.

"And you don't want it to get there, unless you're ready to invest in a five gallon drum of Fabreeze."

"This used to be a good Christian home," she continued.

"But it's not about moral judgement anymore. I'm way beyond that. I'm in survival mode.

"If I don't supply absorbent paper products, I'm going to find my dish towels hidden in the basement, stiff as aluminum.

"The other day, I almost cut my hand on a sock. I am sorry to speak so frankly, but with three teenage boys, a woman has got to be practical."

The mum-of-three went on to discuss the woes of having teenage boys, explaining she "practically [wears] a cow bell" while walking around the house.

"The funny part is, they think they're being sneaky, with their 45 minute showers and sudden need for 'privacy', as if I'm going to walk in on them journaling," she wrote.

"They slink around the house like unfixed cats, while I try to announce my location at all times.

"No one needs to ask me to knock anymore. I knock on the walls. I practically wear a cow bell. I'm not looking to catch anyone by surprise, believe me. I'm just trying to get through this.

"The other day my husband was watching me unload the groceries, and he asks me, all sweetness and light, 'Honey, what're you doing with all that Kleenex?'

"I about knocked him off his chair."

The hilarious review was shared on Reddit and while some questioned whether it was genuine, other Amazon users related to the customer's struggle and shared messages of support.

One wrote: "As the mom of a 6yr old boy I know these days are ahead.

"I've had the talk with my husband that he will be the one to discuss clean up with his son and teach his son how to do his laundry.

"I just can't have that talk, the very idea of my baby boy needing 'private time' is just more than I can take.

"My hat goes off to you, Mama! Best wishes for you and your dish towels!"

Another commented: "I can so relate! Mother of three boys here! Thanks for the laugh!"

While one revealed: "I have 3 boys of my own. We haven't reached this stage...yet. I think I am going to go ahead and start stockpiling Kleenex for the future."
