Ran out of cotton buds, and local store didn’t have any for sale.
Found these online quite cheap (at the time) and does their job.
Fun fact apparantly you shouldn’t use cotton buds to clean ears, still they do the job perfectly.
I mean it makes sense to be gentle/careful in such an area.
After purchase i found out they were bio degradable, can’t say that made a difference or that that was the choice for why i bought them though it’s a nice bonus.
These Bamboo buds are a vast improvement on the plastic or paper ones, they are sturdy and don’t bend ,a good length, the cotton bud is nicely formed and firm but not hard.
They are ideal for applying the anti fungal bacterial cream between my toes, the old ones used to bend too much.
they come in a nice sturdy cardboard box.
These are just like regular cotton buds but environmentally friendly. So zero reason not to swap over and use these and help the planet!
There is nothing to say other than great service, environmentally friendly and excellent value.
Will last ages as there are lots in this deal. They are easy to use and do not come apart when in use.
J&J cotton buds have become useless since the switch to paper/cardboard. These are much better.
Used mostly for make up corrections they might be a wee bit rougher than other brands but just need to be more careful.
Eco friendly.
Personally I prefer another brand which uses paper stems, but I’m quite happy using these as well.
I use these mainly on my ears, and the only issue I have is how stiff they are compared with the paper stemmed versions. But they work fine one you are used to them.
Where I think they absolutely excell is in cleaning inanimate things, like keyboards, mice, electronics and the multitude of other fiddly jobs done by Q tips / ear buds. The added strength of the bamboo and cotton quality makes these jobs easier.
Beautiful robust product. They don’t bend or snap and the bud stays completely intact. Love the packaging too – it felt like I was giving presents when I handed packets out to my family – so sweet.
Many of the non plastic versions of these are really flimsy and if you use them for your ears (which I know you shouldn’t do!) that can be really annoying. These are sturdy and so make controlling them easier. Also great to know I’ve made a more eco choice. Definitely recommend.
I get why we need to move away from single-use plastics, there is no reason for a lot of them in this day and age, but we also need to use the best tool for the job. And unfortunately, paper Q-tips like you find in all the supermarkets are not the best. Far from it. When the second you get the paper Q-tips wet and put and pressure on them, they just fold and collapse, so they are pretty much useless.
Step up to the plate, Ecoshoots Bambuds. Coolest named product ever, Bambuds are the hero we all need, yet don’t deserve. These little Q-tips are environmentally friendly, and super sturdy, you get get them nice and wet, and they don’t lose their shape. Just please, do not dispose in the toilet, just wash them down and dispose in the trash.
This product (not necessarily this brand) was very expensive when it first came to market, so happy to see that volume is clearly making the price accessible, these are very good value, boxed great, and should leave you with no reason to ever buy the evil plastic ones ever again.
Perfect option and much easier to store, 100 per box very pleased
How about I’m glad I got them.
Great quality.
Packaging is spot on and without waste.
Good size although could be longer imo.
Everything is recyclable too which is a huge bonus as I’m doing my best to reduce my carbon foot print where practically possible.
Got the 400 pack which I find excellent value – will definitely purchase ahem needed.
To the seller –
Thank you for your message but for whatever reason I’m unable to respond via the app.
Thank you.
Bamboo rather than plastic gives you a sturdy cleaning experience and it is as good for the environment. If you enjoy an ear cleaning session, then look no further.
I love that you can be eco friendly and not feel you are paying over the odds for it. These bambuds are terrific. Superb quality and superb value for money.
Bought to do a cats ears that need cleaning on the edge (vet advice). Lovely and small, but big enough enough for the job. Do not like ear buds but being biodegradable helps. Cat is not so sure. All packaging is recyclable as well.
Apart from being made from bamboo, there is no obvious difference between these and “traditional” cotton buds made with plastic tubes.
They are sufficiently strong, slightly flexible and easy to use.
Unlike plastic cotton buds, they can be disposed of in standard home recycling bins.
Definitely worth buying
The cotton bud bits are not as soft as the general brands from the chemists or supermarkets but they work fine and they’re not plastic so I will buy again.
Amazing product, cheaper and am much happier with the eco-friendly packaging and zero waste as it is very tight. The buds themselves feel really nice and even better to use than the one’s you would buy at the hypermarket/supermarket! Great product again really happy and surprised as it’s my 1st time but won’t be the last for sure!
Great product, very comfortable and sturdy. 100% plastic free packaging. Will use these from now on.
They stick in my ear with great precision and comfort as they sweep up the wax without creating a big smudge. Very gripping on the flip do to it all over again on the other side
Great item and good price.
I like to use bamboo products now as better for our planet!
Absolutely amazing love these bamboo buds so much better than any other cotton bud.
Strong cute and beautifully presented.
Had never bought anything from EcoShoots before, but the quality is great and love the background story about it being funded by a young family trying to do things better. Will try and get all of my stuff from them as much as possible as not only the quality is great, but also the value for money!
So impressed with these eco buds. Brilliant quality and the packaging is excellent not a bit of plastic in sight! Can’t recommend highly enough.
Superior quality. Packaging was great. Wish all sellers were this excelle
Made well and does the job. Packaged in recyclable packaging. I hope everyone makes the switch to bamboo earbuds
First time I’ve tried the bamboo earbuds, always used the high street favourite before(j+j). These are so much better, very sturdy, cotton bud on the end stays in shape and absorbs thoroughly, I’d recommend.
Only used to dry ear canals gently after a shower, I know I’m not supposed to, but not found anything thats does the job as well. Be careful.
About as eco friendly as a disposable cotton bud can be. Great quality and very reasonably priced.
These are the best cotton swabs, and the value is superb! I will never use anything else! Very quick delivery and attentive service.
As good as the old blue sticks that Johnson did. These are very good quality, the sticks do not snap like most other bamboo ones. The bud has a nice amount of cotton for a comfortable clean.
Gave 4 stars for use, as the boxes are impossible to close once open, leaving the buds exposed to dust.
OK so these (400 pack) are the same price as Johnson and Johnson pack of 200 so already half the price (good start) and my biggest pet peeve with the j&j ones are how easily they bend when used! Happy to see that these bambud ones don’t bend!
Loved how they don’t bend like shop bought cotton buds. Everything is recyclable even the packaging, and the cotton doesn’t unravel. Will buy again, very happy
Excellent product and great value for money
I will keep buying
They are actually rigid unlike the cardboard ones while still being eco friendly
Packaging was a bit awkward with having so many in a small box but other than that a quality product, can’t fault the buds themselves.
These are very sturdy and the cotton doesn’t rip off the stick or anything. Packaging is cute and can also be recycled so very eco friendly! Highly recommend
Love these earbuds plus no plastic even the packaging can be recycled
They are pretty good. Perfect for me, but my partner broke a few of them.
These are great. Just as effective as the plastic cotton bud ones, but I feel much better using them!
Really good value for money, these buds are sturdy and the cotton wool tip does not unwind during use. Great packaging too.
I was really surprised at how good these were. The quality is fantastic and its definitely better than the ones made with plastic.
Love these. The sticks are sturdy and the buds themselves are a perfect size and they are softer than the usual ones. As well as that, the bud fibres are compact and sty firmly on the stick. I don’t think I’ll use anything else now
Really happy with this product. They don’t bend which is what I want.
his is the first time I have bought this brand and I am very pleased , they are sturdy and the cotton tips actually stay in place too ,yes I will be buying them again .
Trying to do my bit for environment I got these good value for money sturdy and do the job daughter has ordered some also
Great product, does exactly the same job as a plastic one but with green credentials.
That they are better for the environment and do the same job!
These work and it is great to have an alternative to plastic ones
Absolutely love these. They’re so sturdy and do the job really well. Plus it’s a bonus that they’re eco friendly! Prefer them to Johnson’s ones now
I used these cotton buds to help clean the inside of my nose after rhinoplasty – was really comfortable to use and didn’t fall apart on me like some other bamboo cotton buds do.
I used to use common plastic cotton buds like most other people without even giving it a second thought until I saw a TV documentary which implied that the plastic from them is one of the top contributors to the detriment of health in our wildlife.
Since then I’ve also began working in an environmental role and since discovering the bamboo equivalent I’ve used nothing else. I won’t ever purchase plastic buds again.
Have found these to be substantial. Soft and pliable as needed. Organic and recyclable. Good deal.
Great replacement for plastic cotton buds they do the job better if you ask me
Good value for money, well made product that has great quality and lovely packaging. Will definitely buy again.
Good size, strong and definitely value for money. Like the separate boxes too.
Good quality – could be sturdier and apparently not for use internally so possibly not good for cleaning your ears
Excellent value for money and great quality. Another fantastic idea to help save the environment and sea animals who suffer from our plastic waste.
Does the same job in an eco friendly way. Pleased with the purchase
These are absolutely great, I wanted to make the switch to more eco friendly earbuds and I couldn’t be happier with them!
I normally go for paper cotton puds but since I’m so busy with work and other life stuff, I havent been able to go out and buy them. These Eco ones were so cheap considering the extra eco friendly material.
Great product – wish I’d found them sooner. Good quality at a good price. Would definitely buy them agai
These buds are great! Flexible enough for ears (for me at least), they’re not plastic so they’ll never be super flexible and that’s fine honestly, don’t need to be going too crazy with them. But they get the job done! Really good value! They’ll be good for anything I need them for.
These are a great alternative and we wouldn’t go back to plastic buds.
I like these and can’t believe they are a new product. It’s such a simple way to help reduce your use of plastic. If you use buds then you should use these.
I loved that buds and the packaging were environmentally friendly and recyclable. Excellent quality and comfortable to use. Definitely recommend them.
They’re sustainable but the bamboo on one of them cut my inner ear due to a tiny splinter I didn’t notice. Will be checking them before use.
Does what is said on the packet.
Green alternative to plastic ones.
Very happy with this product. Equally as good as more expensive and less environmentally friendly than this one. Will buy again.
Does the job well. Maybe a bit expensive but would buy agai
Really like the feel of the bamboo stem but find that the cotton on each head displaces much more easily than our previous paper stemmed cotton buds. Also find the packaging while great that its green makes it difficult to get individual buds out without wrecking the head before you’ve used i
Love these cotton buds. Let’s face it, I stick them in my ears. And though not recommending this, they do stand up well to it! No splintering or breaking and not a scrap of plastic in sight.
Like everyone I wanted to make the switch from reliance on plastic products. I had tried the cotton buds that used reinforced paper as the stem of the bud but found them very flimsy and prone to folding. I have found Bamboo to be a great alternative. I now even have a bamboo toothbrush. This brand are extremely cost effective as well
Brilliant product and works exactly as expected. I love the fact that they’re eco friendly. If the company wanted to save materials they could half the length of the wooden shaft without impacting performance
Great bamboo cotton buds, work perfectly! Love that it comes in little boxes of 100!
I’ve found these to be very sturdy and comfortable to use. They are good value for money and good for the environme
Packaged well and recyclable. Brilliant buds and a big quantity. Sturdy enough for anything you could possibly want to use them for. Will be buying again.
Easy to use compact Cotton Bud well packaged. Satisfied customer.
Bambuds are an excellent ‘green’ and sturdy alternative to traditional cotton buds. Great value, especially if you buy in bulk, and good for the environment. It’s a no brainer – I’ll be buying more in the future from EcoShoots.
great option if you want to cut down on waste and eco friendly made of bamboo so wont harm the planet only thing is some do break not many though
I bought these bamboo buds as a replacement to traditional cotton buds, the price is not much different to the cotton buds I used to buy but the quality is so much better and the fact they are made from bamboo helps the environment as bamboo grows quickly and is sustainable. I look forward to buying more products made from bamboo.
These are great as the stick is hard. Couldn’t bare the new cardboard style so these will be purchased again and again now
I am very pleased with this product. Good value for money and arrived quickly.
They’re nicely put together and comfortable to use, a good, well made product that isn’t harming the environment, well done guys. The packaging is super cool too!
Just glad to have found these. I get through very few of them so they will last years and each time I use one I’ll know it can bio-degrade in a few weeks rather than a few decades. Worth paying a little more for that peace of mind !
Great cotton buds. Well made, good soft cushioning, great value and helps ecologically. Will buy again when needed.
Much more kept together and stronger than usual ear buds, aside with the fact it’s environmentally better!!
No damage through delivery so upon opening they were perfect condition and there’s so many of them in one small box!
Would buy many more products from this company.
Please let me know how I can follow along the more environmentally friendly lifestyle with your business!
I bought this as I know the plastic earbuds are not very good for the environment. It has taken some of the guilt away by using the bamboo alternative.
In regards to sturdiness I have personally found them to be very similar to the plastic ear buds they do have some flexibility.
I got the 1000 and these are going to last me so long and they actually work out cheaper then the plastic ones
All in all very happy and will order again in the future when I run ou
Its brilliant. I haven’t had any issues at all. Packaged very well. And feels alot more comfortable to use compared to other brands. Along with being durable
Cotton buds – just like it said on the ti
Eco friendly, better than any plastic bud. Totally would recommend
