Better than the non eco cotton buds I used to buy . Most ` Eco ‘ tend to be a lot more expensive but a bulk pack of this are good value and of course I’m doing me but for the environment.
They are a good product, although I would say that the cotton bit does slip out now and then from the stick.
Amazing little product, love the way the buds are packaged in separate pull out boxes (so neat!) and they are genuinely sturdier than plastic alternatives and bonus that there is no plastic packaging as well.
I do like these. Great value for money and work well, but they do snap easily so of you use them to clean your ears, (yes I know you’re not meant to) be careful as they may snap on half while in your ear I will still continue to buy them though as like I said they’re a good price and better for the planet.
These earbuds definitely surpassed expectation. Better than the plastic ones and guilt free. All my friends have been told how good they are as everyone is thinking about plastic waste now. Definitely recommend.
Have a few issue with them snapping sometimes but other than that perfect! Will never go back to plastic ones!
Good to get recyclable cotton buds as can be composted
Well I thought I’d give these a try and I am not disappointed one bit! Nice that they came in nice neat sturdy recyclable boxes! The buds themselves are excellent! Far more sturdy than the paper sticks. The cotton on the tips are perfect too! Great value for money and I will be buying more when these run out! I can highly recommend them!
These cotton buds are very sturdy and also environmently friendly
Love the fact that I’m not adding more plastic into the environment
Brilliant produc
Really good quality buds! It’s a great alternative for plastic buds! If you want your household be a bit more environmentaly friendly buy it! Definitely recommend it!
Excellent alternative to plastic! Just as strong and are great quality.
Liked the fact that these buds were ECO. Do the job.
I am really happy with the product.
I use them a lot in my everyday routine. The value for money is excellent and the buds are very sturdy and get the job done I need them for. Also I love that they are good for the planet.
Love these nice box great cotton wool buds good value for money helps the planet as well win wi
hese are just what i wanted! they look great and are fab quality, super cheap for what you get too. The packaging is cute and very well made, i will definitely order agai
These are great! Much better than the generic plastic crap that probably ends up in the landfill for eons. Very sturdy and (don’t do it) make for perfect earbuds.
It’s nice to know I’m not drastically harming the planet as I’m cleaning my ear, but the price for this is unbeatable.
Very happy to get these plastic-free cotton buds. They work well for cosmetic purposes. I used one to clean out my child’s toy house and it broke so not the sturdiest but I wouldn’t normally use them for household jobs.
So happy to have ear buds again (I use for lid cleaning – I have chronic blepharitis). Stopped using previously because of the environmental effect of conventional brands. They are great quality – no trade-off with being less harmful for the environment.
I use a lot of cotton buds to wipe dust off of polymer clay so I was so happy to find these eco friendly buds. No more feeling guilty wondering where the horrid bits of plastic will end up. These are really nicely made, come in lovely packaging. Deinitely recommend. I wish no shops would sell the ones with plastic stems, no need for it with alternatives like thee available.
Very good buds and help the environment too.. sturdy and good value
When I buy new now I am trying to buy ecofriendly products. These were so good. I will not go back to my old brand. Delivered promptly in recyclable packaging. Great produc
Very good cotton buds and no plastic. Much better than the plastic ones. I will definitely buy agai
Very environmental packaging and are better than the plastic ones
A first class product. Second purchase of this item, and would buy again.
Unlike others that break as soon as you put the slightest pressure, these are quite strong. They feel exactly the same as the classic ones.
Love them! Great value for money especially with them being sustainable and eco friendly! I use them for cleaning up my makeup mostly and they are perfect! They don’t leave any fluffy strands anywhere! Couldn’t recommend enough :))
These did the job, they are good and sturdy, the cotton soft to the touch. I’ve had no issues with them, I’m glad there are non-plastic options available!
Love these! The packaging is all completely recyclable which is greatly appreciated and obviously, the product itself is biodegradable which is perfect! I’ve given a box to each of my family members so we can all live a little more sustainably. Thank you!
Definitely worth the money, these are going to last a while and the packaging is all recyclable. They’re not flimsy at all and better quality than plastic ones in my opinion.
Very pleased with the buds. Not only eco friendly but excellent quality. Stronger than the original company branded buds, do not break or bend.
Great eco-friendly product and good to find it on Amazon for sale. I guess they are just right for ears, but I use them for putting medication on eye lashes and for eye shadow application for which they are perfect.

What more needs to be said, there’re eco friendly and compared to the ones with plastic, these are more rigid and more comfortable to use I feel. They are also really strong and so I’m not worried about them breaking or bending. It’s just nice knowing, although it’s small that it’s eco friendly with no plastic! Overall, it’s a Great product and I recommend!
Good sturdy well made bamboo buds attractive packaging too would buy agai
I’ve always traditionally used Johnsons Cotton Buds as I’ve always found them the best quality but wanting to move away from plastic products or packaging as much as I possibly can, I thought I’d give these Bambuds a try and I’m glad I did, they are excellent quality and the sticks are very strong, they do not bend at at all unlike cheaper versions. No plastic in sight and everything is recylable/biodegradable. I’ll be using these for as long as they’re around. Top marks from me.
I’m regularly using cotton buds to help clean leg wounds from a long term illness. Using regular plastic centred buds goes against my ethos of where things can be eco friendly I should choose that option and I’m glad I did.
The 4 box pack are sent in individual cardboard boxes made of recyclable material. Each cotton bud is bamboo centred so again better to the environment. They are sturdy and stand up to all jobs. I won’t hesitate to buy these again once this very reasonably priced multipack is used.
All recyclable packaging & good set of cotton wool buds although the occasional one or two may snap
Why do ships continue to sell plastic earbuds when these are perfect? Total convert.
I’ve been buying bamboo earbuds for some years now and I always get a large batch to last a few months as we have 4 people in this household. These earbuds don’t break easily like some others do and have enough cotton on them to be gentle in removing eye make up or cleaning your ears. Well packaged and good value for money.
These cotton buds are good quality. They are sturdy and the cotton doesn’t come off the stick easily. It is nice to know that they are eco friendly.
I purchased the ear buds as I hate the idea of all the plastic damaging our worlds oceans.
If I can find ways to reduce what we use then spending a little bit more is worth it for the planets future. The product is good quality and well packaged. Try them, you will be impressed!
Great service, arrived super fast and I love that they are eco friendly. Down side is they aren’t as sturdy as other bamboo brands of cotton buds and they snap easily. Overall would buy again.
Value for money. To be honest they are slightly smaller on he cotton wool bits but that doesn’t make a bit of difference. It’s nice to know that they’re environmentally good. I’ve given 2 of my granddaughters a box each to try and they find them a perfect substitute for the plastic ones.
I am really impressed with this product, the packaging and it was delivered quickly too. The cotton buds are as good as any I have used previously but love that there is no plastic involved, even in the packaging.
In fact the little cardboard box that they are in is very sweet. Highly recommend
Super product, feels better using a biodegradable bud. Nice card packaging too. A good move from the producers, thank you very much. There is 400 in the deal so I give some to my daughter too, bonus.
Won’t go back to plastic

Nice compact packaging means no wasted space and easy to handle cotton buds.I use them for my ears as I wear hearing aids so need to keep them clean and they are gentle enough for that but sturdy enough if you need to use them for makeup purposes
Really sturdy sticks and I like the little boxes they come in but don’t open a box if you’re hoping to close it again as it’s a real nightmare. They feel really good quality and the not like they’ll snap like others I’ve used, packaging is nice too. Great buy
Absolutely amazing.
Better than plastic ones and I loved them… these are amazing
And will probably last me a lifetime with the quantity they came in. Very happy not to have to put up with ridiculously over-packaged supermarket plastic crap.
o surprise here, you get exactly what is written in the description and also it is my first purchase of bamboo cotton buds and I am so happy with it, doing something small for this world 🙂 Will surely buy them again when I run out!
These bambuds are great – from the packaging (recyclable cardboard) to the soft cottony buds and bamboo stick. It’s all eco friendly and the buds are perfect for all the usual things you use them for. Really recommend these – great value for money too.

It’s funny how the marketing material shows them being used here, there, and everywhere – except for the one place that they’re obviously going to go. They are good – they do the job – would recommend.
Wanted a product without plastic, packaging environmentally friendly as well as contents. Great for applying makeup, I use mine for getting into the little nooks and difficult to reach places and also cleaning airvents in my car!
Well packed – no plastic. Good value will have to see if they last the make sessions with girls. Delivery a bit slow
It costs only a tad more than traditional plastic earbuds however definitely worth it in my opinion.
All of the packaging is recyclable.
These are great, I was a bit sceptical, I looked at other product reviews first. One thing that came up was the thickness of the cotton buds and worries that they would come off in the ear. This brand had good reviews but others were filled with complaints so I went with this one and I’m really happy. They look like normal buds but they don’t bend at all. They’re comfortable to use and well attached, I used 4 or 5 straight away with no issues, and then pulled off the buds with my teeth (they were well stuck) and gave the sticks to my pets to chew on. They can also go in the food bin to compost. I bought the bulk pack of 5 boxes (1000 buds) which come in cardboard packaging. This worked out quite cheap, around the same as I was paying for plastic ones so I won’t need to get more for a while and there’s no excuse for me not to ditch the plastic at last.
They are cotton buds. Fairly standard but a lot of them. I use them for cleaning around the eye after putting on makeup so nothing fancy and they do the job well
Really pleased that I have bulk ordered these.
Glad I’ve got a greener alternative.
They work great. Do the job!
Wanted something eco friendly to replace standard earbuds. These are better than the now standard cardboard earbuds and buying the multipack these aren’t much more expensive
These have been great so far. I haven’t tried them for the myriad of tasks I sometimes use them for, yet, but it looks promising!
I’m loving these! They are a good cotton bud. And helping out the planet in small ways as one persons makes a difference if we all do it togethe
Amazing biodegradable BAMBUDS. Definitely worth the money and good for cleaning camera equipment.
Fantastic value! Love these and love doing my bit for the planet.
Obviously not the manufactures fault but there was plastic packaging aprons the box but I assume this was amazon not bambuds or whatver. Such good value for me it and perfect substitute for horrible plastic ones
Such a good value for money! 5 boxes last me for about 6 months, they dont snap or break and love the packaging. It was my second purchase. I’m sticking to this company
Very happy with these, just like normal buds only eco friendly. Price was great for how many you get. I’ve given packets to my mum and sister to get them to switch
Well made & serve its purpose. Use the cotton buds for cleaning purposes & applying
Medicated cream to skin.
Absolutely amazing product so much better than any other cotton buds I have ever tried perfect size for every use and excellent value for money would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a more environmentally friendly cotton buds
It works exactly as the plastic ones. I’m very happy to know that there are many Baboo products to replace the plastic.
The stems are a little thinner than the old plastic J&J buds I was used to, but their quality in terms of stiffness and springiness are pretty much identical and much, much better than any paper buds I have tried which bend too easily and don’t spring back. Perhaps a future innovation might be to use hollowed bamboo sticks, so that the stems are thicker and therefore easier to manipulate, while retaining the same mechanical qualities as the old plastic buds (or indeed these bamboo buds). All in all a great product though and I’d recommend it.
These are great quality cotton buds. Perfectly packaged and strong. I’m so glad I switched to them as was starting to feel terrible about using plastic all these years. Can’t recommend them enough.
Very pleased. Strong little buds in lovely packaging. Good price. This is my second order!
Had these since February and not been disappointed with them. Everything about the product is recyclable. I am still using the first box and not a single one has had the cotton fall off like so many plastic ones do. I will recommend and purchase these again.
Very pleased with toothbrushes and cotton buds , very well made and great for the plane
I really like these. They do the job just like regular Q tips. They are sustainable but don’t cost a fortune like some other eco products and best of all they are super easy to recycle. Just throw them in the food bin. Other brands were not clear on how to actually recycle their product, with these you can just throw them in the food, which means they actually get recycled.
I’m so happy with these. They are lightweight but robust. They are a nice colour too. There great value for money and the packaging is great cause it’s nice and recyclable, no plastic.
Loved the fact that these excellent cotton buds came in a simple cardboard box. No plastic in sight. Well done! The teens are finding them very good for tweaking eyeliner. So good that I’ve ordered them a second time!
Really good quality, well packaged at a good price, these have a firm shaft that does not bend or break easily
Good products especially if you’re allergic to the usual tissue dust. Very pleased with order.
AMAZING!
I never want to buy plastic buds again! So cheap to buy in bulk. They don’t bend, they are solid, the cotton doesn’t slip off like some other brands. There’s a good amount of cotton in the ends. Just love them!
I love these buds, the fact they are eco friendly is brilliant, the packaging is also recyclable, a great way to help the environment.
I love how sturdy these are compared to other buds from well known brands, other brands have a tendency to bend when they are in your ear, not these.
These arrived in a timely fashion, and they are great value for money. I will 100% recommend these to anyone who is looking for new cost effective buds.
These are fab, strong which I wasn’t expecting, as good if not better than plastic or paper and good for the money will last us foreve
I like the presentation package, and the buds do work well for me, especially for cleaning out my ears after a shower!!! Thank You.
Looking for a product that was value for money and would cut out the plastic waste.
Spotted these ones on Amazon and thought I would try them.
Package arrived in good order and promptly.
Well presented cartons, which open by sliding out like a box of matches, the ear buds seem durable and the stick is not to brittle, I have not broken one whilst using on my ears.
There as good as any, even the bigger brands, and have the benefit of not being made of plastic, I will be a repeat customer.
Honestly, for something so small, I’m really impressed with everything to do with this product. I’ll definitely be buying again, but considering how many is in a box I probably won’t need to for a while. Great product guys and great message x
Exactly what I wanted, I couldn’t find anything similar in supermarkets or high st.shops, very good value, excellent ‘green credentials ‘
Brilliant!
It is a good substitute of the plastic version. Overall I am satisfied with this product, my only comment would be that the cotton part is a bit hard, it would be nicer if it was a little bit softer.
Absolutely love these. Have tried various different eco friendly ear buds; most have a cardboard stem which is really flimsy and bends or snaps under any pressure. These are really sturdy, balls are soft on the ends, and well adhered to the stem. Presentation box is nice (no plastic), and great value for money!
These cotton buds are easy to use, they are biodegradable, plastic free and a great option. After use it is even possible to compost them so they offer a really good alternative to those nasty plastic ones that can cause so much harm for nature and the planet. They are an excellent product.
That are very well made. The box is thick paper/cardboard so very eco friendly and buds themselves are very good. The cotton on the ends is very uniform and well attached , unlike some others I’ve tried. The sticks are thin bamboo. But not so think they break during use. I’m very happy with them. They do cost a little more but it’s a price I’m happy to pay.

I understand the need to replace the plastic buds but the paper ones hat are becoming more common are truly dreadful, any amount of pressure & they crumple like wet tissue paper but these are great, they don’t bend so you can actually clean your ears. Great product & I’ll definitely buy them again when I run out (I got 1000 though so I’m probably good for 5 years or so)
Great quality q-tips for a great price. Thousand of them actually takes much less space than I expected. They fit in any drawer. Cotton is wrapped much more neat than on ordinary ones, so it doesn’t catch on my lashes when I remove mascara mess around my eyes.
Great quality product, much better quality in my opinion than any of the leading brands whether they are plastic or bio-degradable.
I would highly recommend both from a quality stand point as well as from an environmental standpoint.
Great product, recyclable packaging, great all round .feels stronger than the paper stick versions .Very happy with this supplier also bought the reusable cotton pads from this brand .Think I know what to buy for Xmas gifts now to encourage others to care about the environme
