DDLBiZ cotton fioc con bastoncini in legno per trucco Clean Care, confezione da 200 pezzi

We wanted wooden cotton buds as we prefer them to plastic and saw these. However, as per the photos show THEY COME APART AND COULD POSSIBLY GET STUCK IN YOUR EAR.I've no idea how these have been allowed to be sold, but please take my advise and do not buy them

Should I stop using my regular single-use plastic cotton buds, to avoid them going into landfill, or being dragged through the oceans by seahorses? Sure. These wooden cotton buds do their job excellently (and for a reasonable price). I feel like a total hippie displaying them in a carelessly-placed Mason jar in my bathroom. I strongly consider growing out my armpit hair and becoming vegan. Then I am reminded that these unofficial eardrum-pokers have travelled all the way from China in a shipping container to get to me, and I go eat bacon.

Since our cotton buds are all pc now with flimsy paper sticks we searched for something stronger that was bio degradable, these are bamboo and seemed ideal. The ends are very good, but take care with the sticks as they do tend to snap in half if you put a lot of force on them and the bits are splinters as it is bamboo, however we do like them and will use them with care. My husband uses them in his workshop for cleaning smal items.

These are ok. I’m trying to use less plastic, like most of us... but. First the cotton comes away very easily while you are using them inside your ear. Second the stick is very scratchy under the cotton (that has now partly come off). Be really careful with your ears.Thirdly they took weeks to arrive: order well in advance.I’m going to source better ones next time.

I found the buds a bit smaller than I'm used to but thought that overall they were solid and well made. Unlike some of the cheaper plastic ones they seem unlikely to fray and come apart and damage the ear. Not being plastic they are better for the environment but they took a long time to arrive so I assume they came from far away, so there is the carbon footprint to worry about. Happy overall but, as mentioned, they took a long time to arrive.

THese are brilliant, since they have got rid of the blue plastic Johnson’s ones we have been lost as the white one just bend in your ears but these are fabulous!

Good thing I don't speak mandarin, I don't want to know it says: "Do not insert in the ear canal... Ooops, too late... It's the best thing ever, but don't use my review as an excuse to put your health in risk. Be careful when using it. Never insert in the ear canal when walking, people are moving around you or if you feel something may make you lose control of movement of hands, arms, etc...

Excellent item - a pleasant alternative to the paper ones which just collapse as soon as you stick them in your ear. These are robust and you can have a good wiggle in the ear without them folding up on themselves.Could do with being slightly longer - they're clearly for smaller asian hands rather than my shovels!
