    Just the job!
    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.

    Amazing!
    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!

    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.

    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
